11 Things That Happen When You Become the Cat Lady
Emma Everett

I've been a cat lover my whole life. I used to dress up my two cats and put them into baby strollers when I was eight and my love for them has escalated from there. Now I'm a full-blown cat lady with two cats who I devote most of my time to loving. These are the things I noticed about myself that isn't normal for people who don't love cats.

1. Anytime you meet someone new, all you talk about is your cat.

Any conversation always goes to funny stories about my cats, I know I'm doing it and I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.

2. Most of your storage space on your phone is taken up by pictures of your cat.

I have so many pictures of my cats I had to upgrade my phone to have more storage space. There are way too many blurry pictures of them that I can't delete.

3. You create vivid stories of what your cat does when it's not with you.

I think my cats are Russian spies who travel through time to stop disasters that happened in the past, but that's just me. To be honest, they're probably just asleep someplace when they aren't with me but I have a good imagination.

4. You speak to them as if they can respond to your questions.

"Should I have toast or cereal today Fluffy?" This question usually gets me a blank stare.

5. To you, their meows are responses to whatever you're saying to them.

"Now, I think I should go with the black shoes, thoughts Fluffy?" "Meow." "You are right, the black are more versatile."

6. You can't close them out of any room because you feel so bad.

I call my boyfriend in to take them out of my room because I feel so bad about closing the door on them.

7. Anytime they sit on your lap you feel honored.

You picked me? Really me? It's such a privilege to have you purring on my lap, I want to thank all the cats for believing in me for a good head scratch.

8. Everything they do seems precious to you.

Even when my cat is laying on the back of my couch like usual, I think she is a precious, little angel that cannot possibly belong on Earth.

9. Anytime you leave for a vacation it is heartbreaking to you.

I have to find both cats who are then subjected to a teary goodbye from me, complete with multiple hugs and kisses.

10. You consider buying them a pet stroller or cat backpack everyday.

Would they like it? Definitely not but they would look so cute while I run errands with them in my backpack.

11. You love them more than your human friends.

Is it right? No, but my kitties will always be in a special place in my heart. Sorry friends.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
