Just for fun...


...You never lose anything for long... you're always on your knees looking for toys under the couch.

...Your home looks like a kindergarten playroom with all the toys laying around.

You can live in the country and don't have to worry about mice in the house! I so miss having kitties. Friend Hubby would like a couple to keep outdoors but my tender heart wouldn't make them stay there.

You hear a nagging meow that wants to MAKE you sit down and read a book in order to have a nice lap to keep warm. :)

When they run through the house at 3 AM and wake you up.

When they take their paw and hit you in the face to see if you are awake.

... when you sleep in... and they come in to check in on you.

... when you get stuck on the couch because one falls asleep in your arms and you don't have the heart to move them.

Not if you have a tom who likes to bring you presents. In my house it's the german shepherd who kills the mice that the cat brings in.

Oh my!! I've never had a cat, or a dog, that liked to bring presents. But my neighbor did... poor gal... she knew the kitty was proud of himself, but she was freaked out by the violence.


... you can't move around the kitchen because there's kitty claws attached to your apron strings!!!

When a co-worker notices a spot on your skirt, and when you look down, you are horrified to find it's dried kitty puke! (true story )

You peeked in our windows, didn't you?

Miss Moxie greeted her first tree with aplomb...until she pulled the whole thing over on herself.

Now the decorations include twine leading to nails in the walls.

Nope. Been there, done that. My first kitty (a little girl) never messed with anything more that the bulbs on the bottom branches.

My little boy baby (siamese tabby) tried to climb the tree and ended up with it on top of him!

With us, it is the opposite: Roosevelt has always thought eh tree was just for *him*--but aside from stealing an ornament or two off the bottom limbs and secreting them away to play with in July, he was respectful of it.


Moxie, on the other hand... Wheeeeeeee!

When all of your yarn looks like "something the cat wouldn't drag in"

You hear thump, rattle, crash in the middle of the night...on a regular basis.

All the breakables are on the lowest shelves in the house (cat proof...the opposite of child proof)

when your bed is no longer just yours,but also to a furry friend every night.

when you find yourself opening and closing the door for the kitty
aleast a dozen times a day.

when all your chairs are covered with cat fur.

you crawl around playing like a kid with your kitty

You talk baby talk to kitty

You have a dedicated counter in the kitchen that you don't prepare food on because "it's the cat's" spot.

When you buy furniture that matches the cat's fur so it doesn't show as bad.

.... when you selected new carpet in the color that best matches cat barf.

..... when you select new furniture entirely based on how well it will hold up to cats.

... when you have lint rollers strategically placed all over your house, in the garage, and in the car.

... when you have a sign by your front door which reads "Ring Doorbell and Win a Cat."

.... when you can hardly fit in your Queen-sized bed because of furry bodies sharing it with you.

.... when you don't need to use a heater in your house because you have enough cats to keep warm.

.... when you remodel not one but two patios into "Catios" just for your furry friends.

..... when people call you Crazy Cat Lady, and mean it.

..... when you've learned that no food in the house can be left unattended for any period of time, and you find yourself taking a plate of food into the bathroom with you.

.... when you've learned that coasters are best used on TOP of glasses to prevent kitties from drinking out of your glass.

... when you intentionally leave closets open because you're sure that there's a cat in there.

.... when you buy enough cat food and kitty litter to otherwise feed a family of 6.

.... when hear thumps and crashes all night long and it never occurs to you the possibility that it could be a burglar, because you know a burglar would be MUCH, MUCH quieter.

..... when you find floss picks and pens and Q-tips and plastic bottle caps and all other missing items in various places around your house ... under beds, on the couch ... in your shoes.

.... when there's no such thing as "alone time" in the bathroom.

.... when you have cat doors installed in every bedroom door in your house because if you didn't the cats would just bang on the door until you let them in, anyway.

.... when you've installed a row of carpeted Cat Wallks along the ceiling of your family room so your silly cats have some place to climb and perch, vulture style.

.... when you're glad that there's a moth or fly in the house because your cats LOVE to chase and play with them.

.... when you have night lights in every possible location in your house so you don't step on a cat. (Especially the black ones!)

... when you leave a bathroom sink dripping so the cats have a place to play and drink.

... when the sound of a can being opened causes a feline stampede into your kitchen.

.... when you first look for toys and fuzzy mice in your shoes before slipping your feet into them.

.... when kitty scratches are so commonplace and normal that you keep Neosporin in several locations around the house.

.... when you can identify, just by the sound of a meow, growl or hiss, just which cat is making the sound in another room.

..... when every glass-topped table in the house has kitty paw prints on it, no matter how often you clean them.

.... when it's not safe to sit down on a bed (made or unmade) without first checking for "lumps" under the covers.

Great idea!!!!! I really don't want to have to spray vinegar for every little thing she does, and I can't catch her every time she's in the water glass.

You could always reciprocate and sit there watching them while they're in "their" bathroom. When I'm in the bathroom and find one of them watching me, I kindly remind them I don't watch THEM in their bathroom. Doesn't work.


... when you cannot close a door without looking to make sure a kitty isn't trying to enter/exit.

... when you have to refrain yourself from talking about your kitties to your single guy friends for fear you'll be branded as "that crazy cat lady"

... when you refer to yourself as "momma kitty" and realize... you've just branded yourself as a Cat Lady!!! And smile.

You've never had a cat that copies you have you? If I curl up on the couch, she does... If I have something to eat, she does... If I go to the bathroom... yep!

yes! every time I go to the bathroom, Cat rushes in. If she can't do anything, she at least checks her litter box or jumps in it for a second (is she worried I might use it?). If there is company and I close the door, she waits outside.

At night I wake up to purring. I know to be careful moving about in bed, even in my sleep.

...You wake up and the first thing you see is huge yellow/green/blue/orange eyes staring you down with that "If you don't feed me right this second, I will eat you" look.
