Do you have a cat as a pet? If you have that, you know all about the joy cats can bring to your life—besides the horrors, of course. But no matter how many times your cat wakes you up in the middle of the night, you know you'll be keeping them forever. Below are 12 things that every cat owner will undoubtedly understand.
1. How hard it is to take a picture of your cat
You have the cutest, most beautiful cat in the world, but the pictures you take of him never reflect this. Either you see a moving blur, or the camera is snapped.
2. You always know where your cat has been
You don't need detective skills to know where the cat spent his day while you were away, because you will always find a ball of matted hair where he slept.
3. Your house is filled with small, colorful toys
Guests, and yourself, always trip over the small, soft mouse toys and colorful balls.
4. Your cat is your alarm clock Even though you have a real alarm clock, cats like to wake you up when you're feeling a little lonely. This could be five minutes before the alarm goes off, or an hour earlier.
5. Your furniture has a beloved look
From the wooden table to the sofa, all furniture has had its day. It seems that the cat does not notice his scratching post, because he is too busy to scratch the couch. And the bed. And the table. And the chairs…
6. You know the struggle of cleaning up cat hair
Vacuuming cat hair is almost impossible. Brushing it away is just as difficult, so you can forget about black clothes.
7. Hairballs are the bane of your existence
Even though most of your home has a wooden floor – ideal for removing hairballs – the cat will find a place such as a mat or piece of clothing to vomit on.
8. You know how much cats like clean laundry
There is one unquestionable rule - if there are clean clothes anywhere in the house, the cat likes to sleep on top of them. A lot of dirty clothes and the cat bed are just not that comfortable apparently.
9. Taking your cat to the vet is emotionally worrisome
Even though you're not in pain, the sound of the cat in distress makes you want to cry. Even if you try to be brave, you will always feel terrible if you try to put the cat in the transport box, screaming.
10. You constantly scratch your body
If the cat is a bit hyper, you will be playfully scratched. It's because the cat is in a good mood, but those scratches can get annoying, especially in the summer.
11. You keep all the empty boxes for your cat
Whenever you buy something with a cardboard box, keep it so the cat can sleep in it for a few weeks. For some reason, cardboard boxes are more exciting for the cat than all toys.
12. The cat is always busy with clutter
Clutter is the worst, especially if it's all over the kitchen floor. But then again, there's nothing we can do about this.
