12 Slightly Odd Things Most Cat Owners Do Which You Probably Can Relate With
Cat owners know the routine, the strange little habits, the tiny sacrifices, and the moments that somehow feel completely normal once a cat is involved. From giving up your seat to sharing your food, life with a cat comes with its own set of rules.
These comics capture the everyday chaos that so many cat people will recognize right away. The cats may act unimpressed, but their humans keep trying anyway, and that is exactly what makes it so relatable.
Here are 12 slightly odd things cat owners do without even thinking twice.
1. Attempting to hold hands with your kitty even though they never seem to like it.
You just can’t resist, but they can.
Some cat owners are committed to affection, even when the cat is clearly not on board.
2. Repeatedly stepping on cat litter while going to the toilet in the middle of the night.
And believing that your cat is making a real effort to turn your house into a big litter tray.
3. Not going to the toilet for an uncomfortably long time because you couldn’t possibly disrupt your cat.
Look at her, resting so peacefully.
That kind of patience is basically part of the package.
4. Sharing your meal with your kitty, and occasionally having to actually defend your food from her.
And fearing that you won’t find anything on the table if you suddenly have to go to the toilet or answer the doorbell.
5. Speaking in a creepy, high-pitched voice that you use just for your cat.
6. Never calling your kitty by the name you gave her.
“Just a series of elaborate and adorable nicknames.”
At some point, the nickname becomes the real name.
Also, this is basically like the comic strips that nail the perks of owning a cat, right down to the annoying habits.
7. Taking your kitty up to the mirror and attempting to get her to recognize herself.
Yeah, that doesn’t work.
8. Putting up with being viciously knocked around on a regular basis.
And trying to convince yourself that this is a sign of true love, or that she absolutely did it by mistake.
9. Never getting a good night's sleep because you can’t choose a position that suits you, since you don’t want to disrupt your cat’s sleep.
And they sleep for 18 hours a day.
Sleep becomes a negotiation nobody really wins.
10. Being slightly entertained when you and your kitty go to the toilet at exactly the same time.
11. Wasting hours of your life holding the door open while trying to reason with your kitty to finally make a decision.
12. Loving this very irritating, incredibly destructive, snobbish ball of fluff more than most people.
Yeah, so true.
And somehow, that still feels completely worth it.
