They say that dogs are a "man's best friends"... But I am pretty sure that my best friend is a cat. Cats have very distinct tendencies and attitudes towards life that seem to resonate very well with my best friend. Although I have never seen myself ever owning a cat, I somehow ended up with one... And she isn't all that bad.

1. She is my go-to backup

I luckily have never been on the receiving end of her bad side... And I know for a fact that I never want to be. But I know that if someone ever does me wrong, she is the one I will go to to have my back in any fight.

2. We bond over food... Often

We eat when we are upset... Or happy, or bored, or when we are shopping, or doing homework, etc. We eat just about all of the time there is food in front of us.

3. She is always down to lay low

Whenever I need a night to just relax and chill, I know exactly who to call.

4. But she is also a good time

She also always knows all of these unique and fun things to do, like to build a crate table or go to a model's rummage sale. Like a cat that just got a hold of some catnip, she goes all out when she wants to go on an adventure, and she never disappoints.

5. She tells it like it is

Very similar to a cat, she can be brutally honest when she knows what is good for you. She has no problem leaving your feelings out of situations when she knows your messing up. It'll sting a little, like when a cat refuses to cuddle you and instead tears up your carpet. But in the end she knows what's best.

6. We show each other off

We take pride in one another and like to give one another credit for their hard work, just like when cat ladies take pictures of their kittens in cute outfits and show all of their friends. Go best friend, that's my best friend!

7. She is my siamese

It turns out, we are oddly alike, and we compliment one another very well. Such as our love for retail therapy and marshmallows, we have weird, unique things in common we can easily bond over.

Somehow, through my deep love of dogs, I found a soft place in my heart for cats unexpectedly. Like most friendships, we don't expect them to turn out the way they usually do.
