Where are all of our masters at? Do we have any doctors in the audience? Anyone whose been to graduate school knows it ain't easy. Heck, it can be very stressful. Life seems to make a little more sense when we have our trusty feline friends by our side, and this group of Twitter using past and present graduate students knows we're right.

Having cats gives us a constant routine in our lives that helps us navigate all other priorities. Not to mention they are wonderful companions and give us so much love in their own quirky ways. Researching for a thesis gets done a little faster when there is an occasional cat petting break, trust us we know.

    We could not agree with this Twitter user's wording more. Having cats significantly improves life, not only for graduate students but for them too! If you have been waiting for a sign to adopt a cat, here it is.

    This loaf of feline goodness has been with this guy for 21 years! And their story started when this human was in grad school. Sighs, we were not prepared for all of this wholesome goodness, but here we are.
