When you give up your favorite cup, your beloved campbells soup cup with the kids on it saying "mm mm good", a collectors item, to your cat because she wont drink from a bowl and keeps stealing from your glass and gets sad kitty eyes at you because you have not refilled your water glass or have taken it elsewhere with you.

"The sad kitty eyes"...gets me everytime. I think they know how to work me, and that's OK. I'm putty in their paws when they work that magic with their eyes.

You know you're a cat person when it doesn't matter who answers the phone at the vet's office. They know who you are by your voice, then asks "which one is it this time?", then cracks a comment about naming a wing at their clinic after you.

a few more

You know you're a cat person when:

- even a yoga instructor would be baffled at how you can wrap yourself in a pretzel in bed as to not wake up any sleeping kitties.

- a sandpaper tongue on your face actually feels wonderful!

- you're able to fall asleep with a furry tail in your face.

- you go to the grocery store and go down the pet food isle not to buy cat food, but just to check to see if they have any new cat toys.

- you're not bothered by waking up to a cat butt in your face.

I think this is funny, I read it somewhere:

You know you're a cat person when....
if you ask, "does my big, handsome, wonderful man want anything" and then have to explain to your BF that you're not talking to him

Thank you - The kitties LOVE it!!!
No, no... I made my own - much cheaper! Went to home depot - I think the shelves are rubbermade, and the brackets might be the same brand or not... Not sure - but they are the cheapest ones I could find.
The smallest ones are 2ft wide, the long one is 6ft wide. I also covered them with carpet - thin, cheap carpet, attached with a glue gun.
Cheap, fun home depot project

You have to go to the bathroom and you call, "Whisper, Mom has to pee! C'mon!" And you wait for the cat to come into the bathroom with you.

(Believe it or not, I actually said that the other night......when I was visiting my girlfriend. Who has no cats!! I am so used to saying that I just automatically say it.)

.....you don't bother closing the bathroom door when there's not company around because if you do, they'll just try to open the door from the outside anyway. And besides, they have you as a captive audience for a bit.

You know you are a cat person when you can tell your cats apart in complete darkness by the sound of their meow or the texture of their fur.

When While talking to one cat about the other you refer to the other cat at Your brother/sister (depending on which cat)

When you know you can not leave anything you want kept safe out on any table, cabinet, nightstand, counter, ect ect. If you expect to see it the next day.

when a midnight bathroom trip isnt complete without at least ONE cat coming in for pets.

When you keep a blanket over the area of carpet your kitty most likes to scratch because she is smart enough to do it when no one is aware, and you refuse to lock her out of the room all together.

When you actually feel a little bit hurt when your kitty WONT lick the tip of your nose.

When while cuddling with a kitty in your lap you coo lovingly to have your significant other respond only to say...sorry sweetie i was talking to the cat....but i love you too

You know you are a cat person when the sound of purring so loud you can't hear TV is a great thing to you

I love this thread!

You know you're a cat person when. . .
You're typing with one finger because there's a cat resting on your lap with her head on your hand (Polly is right now
)
You're undaunted by having a kitty on your lap while you're using the bathroom, and fine with the fact you haven't been to the bathroom alone in a long, long time.
You keep cardboard boxes around the house because the cats like them.
Your friend is going through the photos on your camera and says, "Umm, do you have any pictures of people?"

You have no problem waking up at 3AM even if you don't have to work until 8.

Before you take one step in your home, you have to make sure that you won't step on any cats.

ALL OF THE ABOVE!


Another one... you know you're a cat person when you teach one of your kitties how to open the bathroom door because he keeps getting shut inside.

....and then later you adopt a handicapped cat, so you give up a pair of slippers so that one will prevent the bathroom door from EVER being closed all the way if she falls into the door, and the other prevents the bathroom door from blocking the hallway if she falls on the door from the inside out.

...when a non-cat person yells at you, "They aren't 'babies', they're CATS!" and you just think "Wow, you just don't get it..."

...you can't go to sleep without a kitty on the bed, or preferably snuggled up to your head/face/neck (wherever they usually sleep).

...you will wake up without complaint any number of times during the night when kitty wants snuggles or pets, but heaven help the person who thinks it's important enough to wake you up!
