I love my cat, there is no question about it. He makes me smile simply by looking at him, and the thought of him could make me happy even in those moments when I am feeling blue. If only our cats had the ability to know how much they mean to us, but since they are such intelligent balls of fluff, they are likely well-aware. As a matter of fact, with their sassy attitudes and I’m-going-to-do-what-I-want demeanors, they probably wouldn’t have it any other way. I remember what it was like when I had a crush on someone growing up, and then that funny “like” feeling I had started heading down Obsession Lane. Well, loving my cat kinda feels like that–I’m just a tad obsessed. How about you?? (It’s okay, we won’t tell anyone!)

1. You Think About Them All the Time

I got you on my mind, little kitty. This is so true–remember how I said that they can make you happy when you are feeling blue? What else can do that? Shopping costs money and pizza makes my thighs bigger, so I’ll just stay right here crushing on my cat. You sometimes might even feel a bit stalker-ish in the ways you catch yourself just staring at him–when he’s sleeping.

2. Your Cat Is More Important Than Basically Anything Else

Okay, so obviously rainbows and sunshine don’t pay the bills, so you gotta go to work. But you come right back pretty quick to be with your sweet cat who has been waiting patiently all day to see you. Or maybe not so patiently given the broken blinds dangling from your window. Hey, he was scared!

3. If Your Cat Is Comfortable, You Aren’t Moving

You may have needed to go to the restroom for like 2 hours, but he’s sleeping on your lap and you can’t possibly move because he may never find that perfect position ever again. Who are you to do such a cruel thing like that??
