10 Signs that you’re a Crazy Cat Lady

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Leeds chapter.

1.     You find this guy hilarious:

2.     Your friends buy you countless cat-related gifts. Like this:

Or this:

3.     You call home regularly. Sure, you want to know how everyone is doing…but your biggest concern is getting a full report on the cat’s latest movements.

4.     You nap together. Cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day and, being part cat, so can you.

 

5.     You share desk space with them. Maybe not voluntarily – but who can really get any work done without a cat sprawled across their laptop?

6.     You show people endless slideshows or Snapchat stories of your cat as if it’s a new born baby. God forbid anybody says anything negative about him/her! They’ll be getting the silent treatment for weeks.

7.     These slideshows come from a specific folder saved on your computer labelled ‘CAT PICTURES’.

8.     People ask you how your cat is doing, as if it IS your new born baby. There might be a slight sneer of sarcasm but you’ll launch into a full-blown report regardless.

9.     Rather than being a picture of a boyfriend, your phone background is one of your cat. As boyfriends are for people who don’t have a cat.

 

10.   You ‘understand’ each other. This is a kind of ‘cat telepathy’. If you understand what I mean, you are a crazy cat lady. If you don’t: you’re missing out.
