Valentine's Day - Signs You Love Your Cat - 2
By: Tippy & Alfred
You know you are a cat lover when...
*****
1. You always call your cat his full name in his presence.
2. You constantly write poems for school about your kitties.
3. The name Mr. Skipper Jenkins is so easy to say it just
comes out sometimes.
4. Whenever you hear the name Cody you freak because it's
your tuxedo boy.
5. When people say your cat is fat you look around to make
sure he isn't in the room before defending him. He's big but
in proportion.
6. You meow so well you confuse kitty.
7. You hear even the slightest scratching at the door and you
fling it open to make sure that your "furry meow meows" are
all right.

*****
1. Your entire wardrobe for the week ahead is based around
what items you can get out of the washing basket without
waking the cat asleep in it.

*****
1. Dodging around cages and stepping over toys (in every
room) doesn't strike you as inconvenient. Or even unusual.
2. You're so used to the one that sleeps around your neck
that you nearly go off to work "wearing" him (happened to
me!)
3. You do a remarkable fandango any time you feel anything
remotely tail-like under your foot, trying not to step on
it.
4. Your usual sleeping position resembles an Egyptian
hieroglyph, trying to fit around all the cats in the bed.
5.Someone asks if you live alone and you blurt "Oh no, I have
six cats!"
6. The vet, the rescue group, and the shelter are
the first three speed-dials on your phone.
7. Every magnet on the fridge is a cat, paw print, or spay/neuter motif.
8. Your car weighs an extra 5 lbs from all the rescue and
spay/neuter stickers and magnets.
9. Your car weighs an additional 20 lbs from the trap,
carrier, gloves, cans of food, bottle of water, food dishes,
newspaper, towel, etc stashed in the back "just in case".
10. You autopilot to the pet-food section of the supermarket
even if you don't need any.
11. Every T-shirt in your drawer sports a rescue or
spay/neuter logo.
12. You have no opinion about birds per se, but you keep a
bird feeder going to entertain the cats.
13. You buy a vehicle based on how many traps or carriers it
can hold.
14. Your wardrobe is coordinated around your
orange wristband (feral cats) or your purple one (animal
abuse)
15. On a cold morning, you wake up under a combined
weight of 35 lbs or more.
16. You wake at dawn to feed everyone without a murmur, but
Heaven help the telephone caller that wakes you before the
alarm does.
17. Even if you have varicose veins, they're hidden under
all the nicks and scratches on your legs.
18. You routinely mishear your spouse in the same room, but
you can hear a faint kitten mew the length of the house. And
you can tell which kitten said it.
19. You can tell who climbed onto the bed in the dark by
how much or little the mattress sags.
20. The furniture is arranged so the seniors can still climb
to their high spots, and to heck with how it looks.
21. When you announce "Bedtime, everyone", you've got about
10 seconds to jump in if you don't want to wind up on the
edge.
22. You can pick a random hair off your clothes and name the
cat it came from.
23. You can pick out a sofa in 20 minutes, but pore over
kitty 'furniture' for hours.
24. You usually choose plastic grocery bags at the store,
but every so often you choose paper so the kitties will have
a new one to play with.
