My family has owned cats for pretty much my entire existence. As I sit here and admire our beloved babies, I also think, “I wish I could be as lucky as them.” There are plenty of reasons why they are easy to envy, here’s a few:

1. They Can Sleep For Around 20 Of The 24 Hours A Day

Whenever I wake up, a sense of exhaustion overwhelms me. It would be awesome to just be able to curl up anywhere and go right back to sleep without a care in the world.

2. They Can Give Themselves A Bath

The hardest part about taking a shower, even though I love them, is the motivation to get upstairs. If I was a cat, I wouldn’t even have to move to take a bath. The only downside is the fact that cats get a lot of hairballs.

3. They Have Great Ups

I’ve never been so impressed than when I saw my cat literally scale our entire screened door. We always play with the laser toys and they both go crazy. It is awesome to see how far they can jump. They could both play in the NBA.

4. They Have A Built-In Blanket

How cool is it that their fur is a built-in blanket? I would love that, especially in the Winter.

5. They Show An Amazing Amount Of Affection

Not only do they show this, but it is in the cutest, most simple ways. Any time either of our cats come up and rub their faces on our feet or plop down on our lap, it gives me the feels. I wish people could show half the amount of affection that cats do.

Overall, even though I would consider myself a dog person, I would love to be a cat and am certainly jealous of them.
