You know you’re a cat owner when…

[Margot Lane]

You go on a 1 day staycation before visiting the vet, and spend any free time going to the nearest pet store to get a Yeeoww banana, a new scratcher & litter scoop.

Oh gods that's so true. When I sent Mum to respite care for a fortnight a year ago I spent most of the time ferrying Phoebe to the vet.

You know you're a cat owner when you feel bad because someone chooses to stay in the bedroom, where it's colder, and you aren't in there with them to keep them warm.

when you feel bad because you've been gone for more than 2 hours

You devise in your mind the most beautiful zipped shoulderbag for sneaking in kitty litter to various locations.

When you buy a king size bed and it still isn’t big enough because the cats are stretched out every which way and you and your spouse are pushed into one spot.

 

[Neko-chan's mama]

When you have trouble sleeping while on vacation because there's no cat curled up next to you purring.

 

[game misconduct]

getting accused of spoiling the cat more than your significant other which is true in some ways

 

[thefiresidecat]

you find yourself sitting in one place for hours even when you have to go realllly bad because the kitty looks so peaceful there on your lap and you don't want to wake them

 

[Alldara]

You have "garage" all over your house in attempt to keep them busy. Looking at you boxes and craft paper.

When you need something for yourself and are left cussing about it because it cost 10 dollars but your cat needs a $200 Chewy order and you don't even think twice about it.

You have plastic jar lids taped over the power switches of plug strips so your cats don't step on them and turn your computer off while you're working. (Seriously, the people who design these must not have cats.)

Lily used to turn mine off on purpose! I never tried that hack.

I left for work one day and left my computer on and one of the cats wrote me a lovely poem that went like GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGKo;

(Not a cat, but, I recorded an agility run I did with Livie a year or so ago. I set the camera up and took her over the first jump, which she ran around. She ran to the camera, bopped it with her nose, and managed to hit stop record. It was like she was embarrassed that we had it recorded!)

Katie used to do Cat Typing when I had a desktop computer! She'd bounce up and walk on the keyboard while I was using it.

Both stories are wonderful.

When you have to stop a Teams meeting because your cat is screaming for treats and people are asking you if you are starving that poor cat.

 

[catloverfromwayback]

When nothing, absolutely nothing, is safe!

When Santa comes in August cos you were down to the last can…..and the Chewy box arrives!
