Cats like to get all up in our grills sometimes. Considering that the alternative for a cat is hiding under the bed, most cat lovers will gladly take any form of overt affection. When your cat is climbing on your keyboard, laying on your neck, or putting its entire body weight on one paw as they crush your vital organs, consider this: Your cat loves you so much that they want to get extremeowly close and purrsonal with you. That's an honor.

With their whiskers tickling behind your ear or their fluffy tails tripping you up as you traverse the stairs, cats without any purrsonal boundaries are a rare breed of overly affectionate, lovable weirdos who can't get enough of their hoomans. They've honored your presence with their own auras and effectively provide the purrfect excuse to stop working for the day. So close your laptop (as your feline demands), and get back to the real work at hand–loving your kitty with all your heart and soul.
