My brother is a cat person. As for me, I’m a dog person.
Only a few months ago when I moved in with my brother, I also moved in with his overweight, needy, attention-seeking, 6 months-year-old orange cat.
Here are 10 signs I live with a cat:
1. Cat fur is found all over my black clothes.
Lint rollers are my everything. I have them everywhere with me.
2. My background noise when I'm home is a constant loud purring sound.
Whether I’m watching Netflix, laying in bed, or writing an article, the purring NEVER stops.
3. All my furniture is ruined.
"We can’t have nice things.” Couches, dining tables, blankets are all scratched up. I once tried to do something about it but realized... it's hopeless.
4. I'm always being attacked.
He wants to play 24/7. Often times, I can’t even walk around the house without my feet getting attacked. There are some mornings when I’m grumpy and late to work, but of course, half of my time getting ready is spent yelling at the cat to leave me alone.
5. I have had to buy multiple new earphones and phone chargers.
I wake up to a pile of wires on the ground and one chunk in his mouth.
6. He gets up everywhere.
Climbing and jumping from one furniture to another. Once again, his fur is found EVERYWHERE.
7. I never have privacy.
If I close the door to keep him away, I see his two little paws reaching under the door for hours.
8. Can’t have any string dangling anywhere.
Let's just say some of my clothes with ties and lace are no longer wearable.
9. I have to sleep around him.
He’s SO FAT that he takes up so much of the bed.
10. Wake up to him ON my head.
Some days I wake up at 5 am to something weighing my head down...I have learned to put him out and sleep with the door shut.
11. There's never a dull moment.
He always manages to find random plastic shopping bags to make his new toy, which most of the time he gets his head stuck on the handle part.
I'm definitely still a dog person. But I have to admit... the cat is pretty darn cute at times, but yet sometimes so freaking annoying.
