You know you own a cat when...

[RICHARD]

You go directly to the "pet aisle" in the market before you shop for yourself.

Can forgive the cat for breaking something - long before you forgive a human.

Make sure the cat is fed BEFORE the rest of the house eats.

Blame your choice of sofa material after the cat claws it up.

Go shopping for Xmas presents and spend more on the cat.

Stop all housework after you change the litter in the box.

Clean the litter box before you empty your bladder.

Pick you cats, over relatives, for the holidays.

Wish you could be a cat for a day (or two).

Call the house to talk to the cat.

Take all hairballs in stride.

You nailed it!

Howabout...you waffle about going on vacation because you don't want to leave your cats alone (never mind that they will sleep most of the time).

And, you like your cats better than a lot of people!! :D

Oh, and I forgot........you put off making the bed because the CAT is in it!

I am guilty,on all Charges,Richard.
And you hesitate to go on a Trip,in case the Cats will miss you.
And when you are dining out,you wonder what your Cat Angels would prefer!.
And you try to avoid clothing,that will show Cat Fur!

:D OMG Richard you would think you have been in my household & watch me before.. That is so true & what goes on in the homestead everyday..

[jazzcat]

No doubt I own 5 cats. From some of those one might think I own at least a dozen. :D

[RedHedd]

Stop all housework after you change the litter in the box. But of course! :D Is there any other housework?

LOL!!!!

How about being sick and deciding not to go to the hospital because there is no one to take care of the cats???? :D
I'm guilty of this one!!! Lucky for me (and them) it turned out to be just a reaction to some med and passed quickly! :D

[Gin]

I loved it, Richard! VERY accurate. I could add a few more:

Spending 5 minutes with the pet hair roller, removing cat hair from your clothes, is just a normal part of your morning routine.

You hang onto an old cardboard box for years because it's the cats' "fort".

[Sonia59]

OMG, I'm doing all that! LOL!
And I have only one cat! :D

[Laura's Babies]

One more.... Won't get up to go pee because there is a kitty in your lap sleeping!

Another.... They get breakfast before you get your coffee!

[QueenScoopalot]

BINGO Richard, but it seems as though the title needs a slight change to " You Know a Cat Owns You When..." :D I'm sure they think they own us as we are such doting slaves to them lol! :D

[sewmisskitty]

Has anyone ever thought that the real difference between cats and dogs is that while dogs have owners, cats have staff. Just think about it, and I bet you'll agree that its the cat of the house who makes the rules ! :)

[Don Juan's mom]

QSL is right. It's the cat that owns the human, not the other way around!

[Lightning SuperCat]

I am totally guilty!!! :D I spent $20 on only one toy last year (not to mention a few other toys) for Christmas, and in a couple of days, it was considered boring! :rolleyes: Plus, I have about ten baskets around, some of them sort of broken, and the only thing they are used for is a cat bed!
I have some more:
you get up a four in the morning when your kitty pounces on you because his windowsill is shut because it is FREEZING out, but you reluctantly open it for him.

you give your cat four kitty treats just for looking cute

you keep stupid little things because your cat played with it once

your house is covered in unused mousies, but you buy him more anyways

you can't stop talking about him to your friends

Pet Talk is your favorite website!!! :p
