Non-cat people don't get why we would spend as much money saving our cat, as they would on an old used car.

Things non-"cat people" dont get

Non-cat people don't understand that when you are sitting on the sofa and a cat is sleeping peacefully on your lap, that you are trapped. That means that you can't get up to answer the phone, if you need a glass of water, someone in the house must get it for you, and if by some bad luck you need to use the facilities, you must simply cross your legs and hope they wake up soon.
Trapped is trapped after all!
(The most frequently used exchange in my household between my husband and I is: "I'm trapped, can you get me xxxxxx?". We are both quite adept at egging the cats into our laps when we just want to lay around and be waited on by the other.)

That it's not only OK, but brings us great joy to be woken up at 4:00 in the morning for snuggles.
That everything pretty much revolves around them. I go to work to pay for their home and buy them kibble and litter and toys. I go to bed so they have someone to snuggle with at night. I even sit on the computer so they know where I am and can get my undivided attention.

We call that being catlapped. It gets really bad when we both get catlapped.
Something I experience this week that I'm sure my co-workers didn't understand - spending three days sitting in a room with my cat so that she could be without her e-collar.
that you would....................happily..............

Non-cat people don't get that the sound of purring on a bad day can turn the day around into a good day-a cat is a true friend for life & a sleeping cat is ever alert for the next great adventure!!
Sitting-on-your-chest cat farts are nature's equivalent to a cup of coffee.
Even friends I have (who have cats!) don't always get stuff like that.
When Molly had breast cancer and had the tumour removed, she was so uncomfortable that I really didn't know what to do. She seemed to think that it was wantever she was lying on that was making her uncomfortable, not the incision.
I slept on the floor so she could have as much of my bed as she wanted, even though I could have slept in the spare room, because I also wanted to be near her incase she needed anything.
That's true in our house too!
Non-cat people don't get it when you call home to talk to your cats through the answering machine!
Non-cat people don't understand why I spend so much time in the food isle, picking out different flavors of food for my cat. With anything new I always ask myself "Will they like it?"
Non-cat people don't understand that cats are priviledges not a right. If your kitty wanted out and away from you. I assure you they would figure it out.
Most importantly, Non-cat people don't get that pure joy a feline friend can bring you when you day is blue. When cats pay attention to you it's because you truly are the most important person to them at that time. lol. And that alone can make anyone feel special.

Non-cat people don't understand that our cats have to help us read the newspaper every day. When I have the paper spread out on the table in the morning Fluffy or Kolohe come over and plant themselves on the exact page I'm attempting to read.
And non-cat people don't understand how sweet and loving a kitty can be. They think all cats are always aloof and unaffectionate. They just don't understand the wonderful, multi-faceted personality of a cat.
Oh I have another..............
Non-Cat people dont understand that you buy your fur-family Christmas & birthday gifts

But I have to ask: when you are both catlapped and both want something at the same time, do you argue about who is more catlapped? E.g. You have 2 cats but they are both sluts and will return if you get up and I have the skittish one that so rarely settles in so I win? In the rare event that we share these stories with our non-cat friends, they give us that "you're weird" look.
And btw.....I love the term catlapped! Will need to start using it here.
Non cat people just don't understand the joy of the head butt. I mean really what other animal head butts as a sign of love?
Non cat people don't understand the need to de-fur ones feet before putting on socks and shoes.
Non cat people don't understand the joy of getting ones head kneaded at 3am. Hey, she is just combing my hair so I don't have the dreaded bed head.
Non cat people don't enjoy half hour of laughter everyday when the laser pointer is set loose.
Non cat people don't have the pleasure of having their cat watch TV with them. I mean yeah he is sitting right in front of it but he is also pointing out the interesting things on the screen with his paws. I mean if that is not specialized service then I don't know what is.

Or going out on a date with a cat person and being a noncat person and saying I hate cats is a sure way out the door and a ticket to singlesville.
