Wining - Every time we take the thirty minute ride to Dr. Ellenberg, they make this deep, hollow meowing sound that just drags on. It just breaks my heart because it sounds like they're being tortured.
Shedding - If you own a cat, you own a lint roller as well. Sometimes, I'm even like, screw it. I've gone out completely covered in cat fur. It comes with owning a cat. I just expect people to understand. I'm a freaking fur mom. Just like a baby spitting up on a mothers shirt. These fur balls are my fur children.
My house is their house, too - You're a visitor. Remember that. My cats have very few rules. They are allowed on the couch and counters (as long as there is no food present).
The term "fur baby" - Yes. They are my children. I feed them. I change their liter box. I yell at them when they do something wrong. I know when they don't feel good. I take them for routine visits to the vet. I'm a proud fur mom. They make me happy when I'm having a rough day.
You either have nice things or cats -- you can't have both - Okay, so our cats aren't "that" bad. It's not like we live in a hell hole, but they like to nibble on my fixtures in my vases, they break panels off the blinds, and chew on the corners of our coffee table. You can't control what they do when you're not home. But, again, we are cat owners and we wouldn't have it any other way.
It takes you longer to pick out their food in the grocery store than your own food - Our cats are picky. They are very particular about what they eat. They also don't like eating the same thing all the time. I usually pick up two weeks worth of cat food when I go to the store. They get a half of a can of wet food each in the evening and two handfuls each of dry food in the morning. Dry food is very carby which will lead to unnecessary weight gain, so that's why they only get it once a day.
The liter-box stinks. Okay? Grow up. - I'm sure your shit doesn't smell like roses either when you go. Unfortunately, the only place we have room for cat boxes is in our kitchen. That's life. Being a cat owner, you kinda get use to it. You also eventually figure out what they can and can't eat that aggravates their digestive system.
Two cats, twice the stuff - Twice the cat food. Twice the liter. Twice the toys. Twice the cuddles. My cats are spoiled to the hill. I own every flavor of cat treats that Temptations has.
Our cats celebrate holidays too - They have their own stockings and they each get their own gift bag full of goodies. The best part is, they get more excited about Christmas than Jason and I do.
Feathers everywhere - We find feathers everywhere, all the time. We are constantly picking up feathers. Most of their toys have feathers attached, but I don't mind. It makes me happy knowing that they are having a field day with the toys that I brought for them.
90% of the pictures you take, are of your cats - They are use to it now, so they just pose when I take out the camera. They are naturally photogenic as you can tell from the pictures below.
YES! These are all completely true! My favourite pair of jeans are black, not that anyone would know as they're always covered in white fur! Can relate to this post so much :)
