10 Ways You Might Actually Be a Cat

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

1. You spend hours grooming yourself

You pride yourself in your luscious locks and fleeky eyebrows. You find yourself brushing your eyebrows for no good reason or even plucking them just as a fun leisurely activity. You are constantly running your hands through your hair and you refuse to be seen unless it’s washed and styled, even if it means bringing your salon to the party because you love doing your friends’ hair.  Oh, and you find strands of your hair basically everywhere, but your roomies love you anyway!

2. You NEED to be the center of attention

How dare someone spend time in your presence doing something besides admiring you in all of your glory!? Okay… at least just appreciate for a few minutes – you’re not going to beg! But if someone is going to spend hours staring at a computer screen, you need to at least be in their peripheral vision.

3. You can be an introvert

You sometimes disappear from the grid for lengths of time and make everyone wonder where you are. You need your “me-time.”

4. Your sleep schedule is bizarre

You go through phases of being nocturnal and “dayturnal” and it doesn’t matter if no one else is awake; it’s 3 a.m. and you’re so energized that you’re going to eat a snack and do some squats anyway. 5. You can nap like a champ

You can find somewhere cozy, curl up, and fall asleep at any time in any place. Being this glamorous can be tiring. And plus, when you wake up, your energy bounces back up to level 1000.

6. You’re a picky eater

Let’s say someone offers you a snack – you appreciate the beauty of it and the effort that was put into it, but it’s just not agreeing with your pallet. You sniff it and offer an “oooh” and “mmm”, but no matter how much they insist, you are not giving in. Excuses can include, “Sorry! I’m on a non-fat, low-carb, gluten-free, vegan, high-protein diet! Plus, I might be allergic!”

7. You can be active often

You can’t just sit inside all day when there is so much to explore. You feel a need to exercise, or go to the gym, or just be active or else you’ll feel antsy.

8. You are curious about everything

You see pretty jewelry in a store and you just have to touch it all. You’re always looking to learn new things. You love reading and reading books. You love the book physically too, so much so that you treat it like a precious accessory. 9. You love giving gifts

You see something in the store that you know your friend would like and you NEED to get it for her. You just know it’s everything she has ever wanted and you cannot wait to see her reaction. OK, well, maybe you think the gift is so perfect because it’s something that you would like – but deep down you know it’s the thought that counts.

10. You identify with the Shakespeare quote “Though she be but little, she is fierce.”​

You are a baddie and you know it! You can invoke fear if you need to and you don’t let anyone mess with you. You walk into the party with your head (tail) held high and let people come to you because you are vibin’ with your divine feline spirit animal, and you know that anyone that isn’t a cat person is just missing out.
