In the past year, being a cat person has become more socially acceptable, and dare I say — trendy? Cats have always fallen second to their canine counterparts, but cat people around the world are finally getting the recognition they deserve. However, there still exist a very specific set of struggles that only a tried and true cat person knows.
1. Your cat runs your life.
"Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now." — Your Cat
2. Cats are actually furry assassins.
You don't know when or where they are lurking, but you know they are always plotting their next move.
3. Non-cat people don't understand your obsession.
"Yes I really, truly, genuinely would rather stay at home with my cat then go out ..."
4. You can't have nice things. Ever.
From that glass vase you adore to your last can of Diet Coke, cats love taking everything you love and destroying it. But what's more, you let them.
5. You can only cuddle, when they want to cuddle. No exceptions.
Cat's are the best cuddle buddies, but only when they deem it acceptable.
6. You can't quit them.
No matter how many sharp nails, judgmental stares and aggressive meows you face, you just can't find it in yourself to love cats any less.
