Remember back when we were kids and everyone picked an animal to obsess over? Claiming that that animal was their 'spirit animal'? We had the kids who loved wolves, we had horse girls, and we had that one weirdo who became obsessed with a particularly ugly endangered lemur. Then there were the cat people. I'm talking full-blown cat lovers who wore ears and a tail to class because they genuinely believe that cats were their spirit animal. Maybe they'd hiss when they were mad, maybe they'd scurry away to the corner of the room when they were upset, and if you were lucky, the cat-kid could be coerced into giving you a whole hearted purr when you pat their heads. How did it get this far?

Well, it all starts when you have a cat at home that you adore. That cat imprints on the child and slowly (usually during the night) takes over their brain function. Eventually the cat starts using its feline mind control on the child, giving them orders to fill their bowl, clean their litter box, and pet their tummy three times. Then the cat quickly BECOMES the child. It's not that the kid was being weird in school, the kid was being partially-abducted, brain washed, and mind controlled by their pet kitten at home.

Who ever said these little fur balls were docile? Domestic, perhaps... But these when these relatable little felines start to get a little TOO relatable, perhaps you're becoming a classic victim of Cat Obsessive Projection Syndrome (C.O.P.S.) Frankly, I'm a stage 4 C.O.P.S. patient and I'm totally happy with that--- brrreeeooow! So scroll for some relatable cat memes if you dare introspect that hard! It might get e-meow-tional.
