11 Things Only Cat Owners Understand

We humans would never think about pooping in a litter box (unless the situation was very, very dire). But it's totally acceptable for your cat to poop in a box somewhere in your house ... and leave it for you to clean up. And maybe even track some litter around the room, for good measure. Think about it. 

Your Cat Loves Cardboard Boxes More Than His Expensive Bed

You spent such a long time choosing the perfect bed for your cat. You read thousands of reviews, chose organic cotton that wouldn't irritate his skin and maybe even added some kitty-sized throw pillows, so he'd feel a little extra comfy and stylish. But whenever an Amazon shipment arrives, your cat makes it very clear that a lowly cardboard box is like, one thousand times better than the bed you worked so hard to pick out. 

Your Cat Eats Better Food Than You

You'll eat whatever mass produced, conventional food that's on sale at the grocery store. Your cat only eats the highest caliber, scientifically researched food with a board of veterinary nutritionists formatting it

 for them. And sometimes throws it up on the area rug to show his appreciation. 

You've Accepted That Your Cat Is Boss

Don't even bother pretending. In a cat house, we all know who's the boss. Hint: Her favorite pastimes include knocking items off of counters, sitting on your laptop when you're trying to work and meowing incessantly at things that aren't there.  

Cats Have No Sense of Personal Space

Cats put their butts in people's faces to show them they like them. They give you zero personal space to show you they love you, but also to remind you that they're in charge. 

You Never Know If Your Cat Wants to Cuddle You ... or Bite You

There's nothing better than cuddling on the couch with your kitty ... until you make a single wrong movement, she freaks out, bites you and skitters into another room.
