10 Things Only a True Cat Mom Would Understand

As a cat mom, you know that you don't really own your cat—your cat owns you! From their demanding meows to their strategically-timed naps, every cat mom and dad knows their feline friend is secretly the boss of the house. We wanted to share our top 10 hilarious signs that your cat is in charge.

1. Your phone's camera roll is 90% pictures of your cat. You have thousands of photos of your cat sleeping in funny positions, playing with a toy, or just looking adorable. But you can't bring yourself to delete any of them.

2. Your keyboard is their new favorite napping spot. You're trying to work, and suddenly, a warm, purring body is blocking your screen. It's not a suggestion; it's a command. The email can wait.

3. You've perfected the art of talking in a "baby voice" to your cat. When you get home, the first thing you do is greet your cat in a high-pitched, affectionate voice. Your human friends would be embarrassed, but your cat loves it.

4. Their birthday is a major holiday. Your cat's birthday is a bigger deal than your own. There will be treats, a new toy, and maybe even a small party. You wouldn't have it any other way.

5. You have a designated "cat blanket" on your couch. It's not your couch anymore; it's your cat's couch. The blanket is there to protect it from all the fur, and you've accepted that.

6. Getting cat hair on your clothes is just a part of life. You've stopped trying to fight it. Cat hair is your new favorite accessory, and it's a constant reminder of your furry friend.

7. You've cancelled plans to stay home with your cat. "Sorry, I can't come. My cat looked too cute, and I don't want to leave him alone." Your friends understand.

8. You know their exact meow, purr, and look for every mood. You can tell the difference between their "I need to go outside" meow and their "I want a treat" meow. You are an expert at reading their every move.

9. You've considered buying a bigger bed... for them. They take up so much space, but you love having them there. You've thought about getting a bigger bed just so everyone can be comfortable.

10. You proudly wear your love for them on your sleeve (or your shirt). You love being a cat mom, and you're not afraid to show it. A fun t-shirt that celebrates your furry best friend is a must-have for your wardrobe!
