10 Hilarious Signs That You're a True 'Cat Dad'

Being a "Cat Dad" is a unique and hilarious journey. While cats may act like they're in charge, a true cat dad knows the secret to a happy household is a cat on your lap and a full food bowl. If you find yourself doing any of these things, then congratulations—you're officially a proud Cat Dad!

1. You've accepted that the laser pointer is a serious business. That little red dot is not a joke. When your cat is chasing it, you are a co-pilot in a serious mission. It's a workout for them and a source of endless amusement for you.

2. You've taught them a secret signal for "treats." It's a special little routine you share, and it's the highlight of your day. It's your secret signal, and no one else gets it.

3. You've taught them a "trick," even if it's just to come when you shake the treat bag. Your cat knows the sound of that bag, and they'll come running from across the house. You're proud of your training skills.

4. Their bed is a little too close to your side of the bed. You tell yourself that you're just keeping them close, but everyone knows you're just a little jealous that they get to sleep so well.

5. You’re a little too proud of their "superhuman" abilities. Your cat can jump so high! They're so fast! You will tell anyone who will listen about how amazing your cat is.

6. You've been late to a meeting because you couldn't disturb their nap. You've had to make up an excuse for being late to work because your cat was sleeping peacefully on your lap. It happens, and you've learned to accept it.

7. You've given them a manly nickname. Their real name might be something cute like "Muffin," but you call them "Big Boss" or "The Enforcer." You have a private language of your own.

8. You've spent more money on their toys than on your own hobbies. Your cat has more toys than you do, and you've accepted that. A new catnip toy is a better investment than a new video game.

9. You've taught them to "head bump" you just to show off to your friends. Your cat's head bump is a sign of affection, and you love to show it off. It's a point of pride, and you're not ashamed.

10. You proudly wear your "Cat Dad" status on your t-shirt. You're not just a cat owner; you're a cat dad. You love your cat, and you're not afraid to show it with a great t-shirt that celebrates your furry friend!
