Cat owners can understand both the good and slightly less good sides of sharing a home with a feline friend.
After adopting my sweet girl recently, it didn't take long for her to train me to know her favorite hiding spot or just how early she expects breakfast. Of course, each individual cat comes with his or her own unique quirks, but most owners know they can expect more than a few of the fun and occasionally frustrating facts of life listed below.
And they obviously wouldn't change one thing so long as it means they get to see their cat's happy face each and every day!
I know there are a few things I wish my cutie would calm down about, but nothing compares to how many smiles she gives me in return.
Take a look at all the pros and cons cat owners deal with in their daily lives.
Let us know in the comments if we missed any of the hilarious antics your cat likes to get up to, and be sure to SHARE with your friends!
1. Most Meals Include A Secret Ingredient: Cat Hair
Cat owners know that it's certainly an acquired taste.
2. Alarm Clocks Are No Longer Needed
My cat will just jump right on top of my head if her more subtle attempts don't lead to me filling her food bowl at 5 a.m.
3. House Plants Are A Thing Of The Past
Not just because there are some that could be potentially dangerous, but also because they would probably be destroyed within minutes of the cat finding them.
4. Scratch Scars Bring Back Fond Memories
"Aww, remember that time you were cuddling me and then suddenly decided I was your mortal enemy? That was so silly of you!"
5. A Laptop Is Actually Their Seat Warmer
Good luck convincing them otherwise.
6. A Phone Is For Filling With Photos Of Them Just Sleeping
Or lounging in about 100 different angles.
7. Holding Your Bladder Is Best So You Don't Disturb Them
Exactly as they trained us to do.
8. Christmas Trees Can Never Have Ornaments
Even if you try to place them strategically out of reach, your little fuzzball finds a way to knock 'em down.
9. Some Pretty Disgusting "Presents" Are Sure To Arrive
It was one thing when I opened the front door to find a poor bird on the welcome mat, much worse when one was lovingly delivered directly to my pillow.
10. Clean Laundry Is 90 Percent Cat Hair
Why spend money on a fancy fur coat when they're willing to line all of your laundry for free?
11. Long-Lost Belongings Will Be Found While Rearranging Furniture
You've finally discovered where all of your hair ties went… along with jewelry, makeup, actual cat toys, and anything else they can drag or swat at.
12. There Is An Easy Excuse For Leaving Anything Early
"Oh shoot, I would love to stay longer but I need to get home to my cat, sorry!"
13. There's No Sound On Earth Better Than Their Purr
You love hearing their purrs. And as it turns out, that beautiful music to your ears can totally boost your mood (and also be beneficial to your health)!
