When you go to the restroom and there isn't a cat in there you feel lonely.
... if you delay (or even forget) to go to the restroom because your cat is on your lap.

Oh my gosh, yes!!!When you think long and hard about spending an extra $2.50 for your favorite ice cream, but when there's a sale on Blue Buffalo cat food, you drop $50 on it without batting an eye.
I once made a customer /so/ angry by telling her about how awesome Breeze litter was... How was I supposed to know I'd been at it for nearly an hour and she was giving all sorts of nonverbal cues that she needed to go? Oh, well. If she wants to stick with Fresh Step, so be it.-
-You can hold animated, excited conversations for hours on the subject of cat litter.
I tried to convince a dude following a very old style dog training method that the reason his dog pees at his feet when he goes to put the leash on is because the dog had realized that the owner reaching for the collar = a collar jerk.I once made a customer /so/ angry by telling her about how awesome Breeze litter was...

Ugh, I know... I get that /all/ the time at work. People who insist ABC because their trainer said XYZ, or their vet said 123. Not realizing that they're literally just after money. I will build people's baskets /down/ to get their pet treated right.I tried to convince a dude following a very old style dog training method that the reason his dog pees at his feet when he goes to put the leash on is because the dog had realized that the owner reaching for the collar = a collar jerk.
This dude actively admired our dogs and their obedience and titles and working ability but didn't seem to put two and two together and insisted that his soft pet dog needed a harsher hand than our working bred dogs did.
Yikes.
Sometimes it's better to just scoop some litter over that **** and walk on.
It can be frustrating. I love my dogs, but over all dogs are dense where cats are sensitive, and I just want to scream "my cats know their names!! They know how to sit!! they high five! It's adorable!!! I trained cats for craps sake! I'm not an idiot, I can help you and your dog, and I'll do it for free!" but people don't want to hear it =(Ugh, I know...

But, back to the topic, you know you're a cat person if you make plans based around their play schedule.
*YES.*Simple enough. Just post those funny, odd, or sad things that are the hallmarks of being a cat person. Just kidding, there are no sad things, because cats are heavenly emissaries of joy and tranquility. Your posts should continue the sentence begun, 'You may be a cat person if...'
You may be a cat person if...
The couch that was blue when you bought it is now best described as "tortoise-shell".
Your best friend sneezes every time she is around your favorite shirt because she is allergic.
You do a long, slow blink any time you make eye contact with an animal or person. My bearded dragon thinks I am insane due to this.
You compulsively check the sides of everyone's couches for scratch marks, even if they don't own a cat.
Your first instinct upon seeing someone wearing feathers is to chuckle and imagine what your cat would do.
All of your Pottermore quizzes come back with some form of cat: Gryffindor, Tortoise-Shell Cat Patronus, Cat animagus form, cat pet.
You scare potential mates away by telling them how many cats (or pets in general) you have.
You see a dog and want to hiss.
You have more pictures of your cat on your phone than yourself or your significant other.
Your cat /is/ your significant other (in a non-creepy sort of way).
You respond to every 'meow' with 'yes, Your Grace,' even when it's not your cat.
Your first instinct on a depressive day is to find the cat and abduct them for infinite amounts of snuggletime to make the world go away for a few minutes.
We've heard that too! We've also heard "wow your pets are so spoiled", which is confusing because providing them a good daily diet isn't spoiling anymore than feeding your kids something besides pop tarts and Pepsi is!Your visiting friends never fail to comment "Your cat eats better than I do" after looking at the cans on your kitchen counter. "Free-range chicken, lobster, salmon, lamb burger, organic turkey?!"
...yeah, but PopTarts and Pepsi, plus pizza and burgers, is the great American dietWe've heard that too!

You also have been known to take an empty box, cut out little peep holes and decorate it...
Of course you also put a soft fleece blanket in it so they don't have to nap on cardboard.We've heard that too!

...and wrap it in wrapping paper because it looks cute.When you know exactly what your cat wants just by the way they look at you.

Some people I know built this CASTLE for their cats. I mean, it looks like a castle. It's huge. It takes up half the room it's in! Obversely, though, I was told they only scoop their litter box -- I think it's one for three cats, which is bad to start -- like once a week or less. But they love their cats. They rescued all of them. *go figure*...and wrap it in wrapping paper because it looks cute.
Then feel amused and defeated when they shred the paper off....
