A dog is a man's best friend? Yeah right. Cats are a human's real pal. No, they might not act excited to see you after a long day or wag their tail when they're happy, and they may scratch you when you're least expecting it, but cats show their companionship to their humans in their own ways. Here are 12 signs that your cat is your best friend.
1. He makes sure that you wake up on time.
What do you mean it's only 3:00 a.m.? You need about four hours to get ready, right? By the way, my food bowl is only 75 percent full, so you need to do something about that.
2. He keeps your face warm.
Looking a little cold there, buddy. Let me fix that. Oh, now you're sneezing? Be careful, I don't want boogers on my fur.
3. He makes sure that you don't starve.
Hello, human. I have a little gift for you. Wait, now you're just going to throw it away? I see how it is, you ungrateful, fur-less beast!
4. He appreciates the little things.
You bought me a really expensive cat toy? No thanks, I'll just take the box.
5. He makes sure you appreciate the little things, too.
I see you have a new couch. Let my claws and I personalize it a little for you. I know it must have been expensive and all, but the "worn" look is in style right now.
6. He cares for your health.
Have you ever heard of something called acupuncture? Be still while I try it on you with my therapeutic claws. Don't worry about the blood, I'm sure it's normal.
7. He makes sure you stay clean.
Must I bathe you all the time? When will you learn how to lick your own fur, silly human?
8. He's patient with your language barrier.
It's okay, human, you don't have to attempt meowing at me in your high-pitched, funny voice. You're almost as incoherent as my good friend Mr. Fluffykins when he was high on catnip.
9. He makes sure your toes stay in place.
They keep trying to move, but don't worry! I won't let them get away!
10. He teaches you the value of rest.
A 16 hour cat nap? Yes please.
11. He calls you out on your mistakes.
I only wanted you to rub me twice! You petted me three times, so now you must feel my wrath!
12. He knows when you need a good cuddle.
Did you have a long day? It's okay. Let me love you and sing you to sleep with my purr.
When all is said and done, you will always be your cat's favorite human. They truly are our best friends.
