All cats have unique purrsonalities, but despite their differences, they are all cat. You know what we're talking about. Some may be sillier than others, others quieter and stoic, but they all have that cat essence that is unique to our feline friends. They will come to you not when you call their name, but when they hear the crinkling of a plastic bag (which usually means treats). They will always fall asleep in the strangest of pawsitions that give you neck pain just from looking at them. They understand you, they just choose not to listen.

Cats are both incredibly frustrating and simultaneously the cutest creatures on the planet. We know, because we have three of them. Only those of us who have cats can understand the struggles and joys of living in a household run by felines, so for all of you who are serving your feline overlords like us, we have some funny posts below that you will probably relate to. They are quintessentially cat - they capture the purrfect essence of the fur babies we call cats.

We love them most of the times, we strongly dislike them sometimes, and we can't imagine our lives without them. That's the reality of living with cats, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Imagine if our cats actually understood how obsessed we are with them. Purrhaps they do understand and think it's purrfectly normal, but they also don't know how many pictures and videos we have of them on our phones. In fact, our phone is 90% full with them. They will either be pawsitively frightened or pleased with that fact.

That's the thing about cats - they will take matters into their own paws when you're not doing something up to their standards. If you tell a dog to wait, they will wait, even if they don't want to. Cats, on the other hand, will start doing things to make you do what they want.
