...when the man who is doing the furnace maintenance tells you he found three mice in the vent (and you start getting kind of creeped out) and then he holds out his hand and gives you three little stuffed mouse toys.

You know you're a cat person when you let your cat play with your mouse and kneed your keyboard when trying to do anything important on your computer - like be on TCS!

butzi, boy am I familiar with that.

My kitties type all sorts of stuff that I have to delete while I'm trying to post something or send an email.
Earlier today Polly somehow managed to click on an ad with the enter button and took me to a survey about my toilet paper needs.

You see your cat shredding paper towels but don't stop it because you think it's cute (Molly's shredding paper towels right now and it's too cute, I'm just sitting here watching her and typing.
)
You mean like this?




I have a video of the incident, too.

I've been there a time or two.



You know you're a cat person when you have a very sick kitty who you're up with all night long forcing medicine down their throat so they get well quickly, and also force-feeding chicken broth to to make sure they don't dehydrate. You also know you're a cat person when you don't mind cleaning up hairballs or vomit because you know it's just part of owning a cat.

You also realize you're a cat person when you have a kitty scrapbook album which you show to all your friends (who usually give you a funny look - unless they're a cat person, too - and understand just why you have a kitty scrapbook.
).

My DH and I were cleaning the apartment. We were in the bedroom, I was dusting.

He said "aren't you going to dust the leather ottoman at the end of the bed?"

I say "I already did!"

He said "what are those marks?"

Me and him at the same time "oh they're claw marks
"

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! If DH and I take vacations, we do so separately so one of us will here to watch the babies.

when you find a cat hair in your food or drink, and don't even think about it.
Or you give your cat a lick of your ice cream, then go back to eating it yourself.

Or you set your glass of soymilk where it is easily accessible so he can help himself whenever you're not drinking.

Or you put your cereal bowl on the table, go back to the kitchen for something, hear a thud of a cat jumping down from the table (knowing that cat is only on the table to sample the milk in the cereal), then eating the cereal.
