You know you're a cat person when...

...you refer to going to the bathroom as "using the litter box."

...you do not consider an outfit complete without some cat hair.

...you consider cat hair in your food as extra fiber.

...you apologize when you step on a fuzzy cat toy in the dark.

...you snap your fingers and pat the sofa beside you to invite your guests to sit down.

...you sleep on one edge of the bed because the cat is sleeping in the middle looking soooo cute!

...you accidentally put your child's dinner plate on the floor.

...you spend more money on toys for your cats than on the kids or grandkids.

...you decorate your Christmas tree with dangly cat toys.

...your neighbors refer to you as "the crazy one with all the cats."

...you have more pictures of your cats than your kids in your wallet.

...you refer to your cat as your furry child.

...your parents wind up with a four-footed, furry "grandchild."

...you plan your vacation around the cat show schedule.

...you accidentally call your spouse by your cat's name!

...you set a place at the dinner table for your cat.

...you have a set of towels with "His" "Hers" and "Kitty's."

...you call home and leave a message on the answering machine for your cat.

...you have the cat meow on the outgoing message of the answering machine.

...you and kitty have matching outfits.

...your spouse says, "Me or the cat!," and there's no hesitation.

...you never go to the door unless it's to let a cat out.

...your favorite friends have fleas.

...you chose a house to buy based on it having a good location for the cat box.

...you think cat fur makes a wonderful garnish to any meal.

...you own 17 varieties of kitty-nail-clippers.

...you are lost for conversation with non-cat people.

...you meow so well, you confuse the cats.

...you bore the neighbors with discussions on the exact nutritional differences between 9-Lives and Amore ... at length.

Yes to all!
And my neighbors probably do refer me to the crazy lady with all the cats!

Having been around cats for all of my 40+ years, I'm the same way!
I've been working on the purr and haven't quite got it without choking.

These all fit me to a T! Especially the diet of cat fur. I consider brushing the cat's hair to be the latest in my diet regimen!

That happens just about every night - and with both of my cats on the bed, and I have a VERY small bed.

But I don't mind!

That's so true, oh my goodness! Especially the diet of cat fur, calling people by the cat's name, hissing to discipline, being at a loss for words with non-cat people, and apologizing when stepping on toy, lol. My my my we're a bunch of weirdos! I love it!
