If your favorite emoji is the cat with heart eyes, your screen saver is your cat, and have one too many t-shirts signifying your love for the whole feline population, this article is for you. You would rather spend time snuggled up with your cat than hanging out with your human friends and you're the person who plays with other people's cats when you go to parties. Even though you won't admit it to others, you answer your cats "meows" as if they were asking a question. It's okay. You are not alone. So this one is for all the crazy cat people. We know that you couldn't possibly live without your cat. During the day, all you can think about is how you cannot wait to go home and spend time with them. It's something that other people, especially dog people, can't even begin to understand. Your cat is your homework buddy, your snuggle buddy, and even your dinner partner. Sometimes even your alarm clock. Even though they sometimes get on your nerves, they are still your best friend. So here's a tribute to all the reasons why your cat is not only your worst nightmare, but your furrever friend.
Your cat enjoys the simple things in life, especially when those simple things come in bag or box form. It's even better when you get out a big duffle bag or suitcase. Cue the song "A Whole New World". It brings you joy to see your cat so enamored by something so stupid.
Your cat is your best friend, your secret keeper, and your literal tear dryer. You can talk to them about anything and they pretty much have to listen because you have them in a chokehold. But they don't mind being there for you. Sounds better than humans to me.
Unfortunately, your cat is a horrible study partner. But if you look on the bright side, your cat is an awesome procrastination partner. Why not take 5 minutes off from studying in order to pet your fluffy, awesome cat? Then give it the boot and get back to work.
Think about it. Your cat puts up with a lot of your bull crap. You squeeze them. You kiss them. You jump up and down while holding them. You pull their tail. You throw them around. If you are like my brother, you throw them on the roof. For the most part, they let it happen. Your cat likes the attention about 0.058% of the time, yet still lets it slide. Thanks cat, you rock.
But on the other hand your cat likes to annoy you with affection too. Maybe by pawing you in the face in order to get a belly rub. Or sticking their butt in your face to get a butt pat. The affection goes both ways.
Eating. A time when you try and fight off your cat from your own dinner. Basically if you are eating, your cat also thinks that it should also be eating. Whether it is on the counter trying to lick your plate or in the sink eating the scraps, your cat pretty much thinks it also deserves the grand feast that you have prepared rather than the cat food. So feed your cat, peasant.
Like I said earlier, you probably talk to and then answer the questions you ask your cat. As if you knew what they were wanting to saying. You have even decided what kind of accent and attitude your furry friend would embody if they could talk. It makes being a cat person seem like you have friends...
Your cat is your best lazy buddy. They totally don't mind that you want to stay in bed all day and watch Netflix, or even eat a ton of food that you will probably regret tomorrow. But I guess it isn't such a problem for your cat because it normally sleeps between 16-20 hours a day anyway. Oh well.
But don't forget that cuddling with your cat isn't all that it seems. You will most likely get a paw or a butt in the face which will not always be fun for you.
No matter what the circumstances, your cat is your best friend. And like best friends do, you love each other, you get mad sometimes, but you are always there for each other. I'm so lucky to be a crazy cat lady and have the best cats ever. So next time you go home, pick up your cat, give them a big squeeze, and tell them how much you love them. I'm not kitten around.
