This CAT-OWNERS EXPOSED ..Cat Issums..

You can always spot a cat owner ...

By the mobile phone calls made from the cat food aisle in the supermarket getting someone at home to go and look in the pantry and see which variety of sachet or dry food is *the* one that our pedantic pussies will actually eat. By the hours and hours of home videos of kittens playing cutely and energetically, but only a couple of hours of video of the kids doing their stuff. (I adore my kids and still can't work out how this actually happened!) by AM

By standing in the supermarket thinking aloud "I've got them meat munchies then I'd better get some fish pouches for the variety but not that one because she doesn't like it and not that one because she loves it but her sister won't eat it and not the duck 'cos they had that last week" and so on. By the unhooked curtain loops not to mention the claw sized holes in the curtains. When guests ask to use the toilet, you have to go and get the toilet roll from the bedroom where you keep it because if it's out Dunzi will rip it to bits. by Lesley Madigan

By the fact that you choose your bed linens/comforter based on what color will least show the cat hair build up By the fact that you choose the shade of your new carpet by [gross comment coming...] what color your cat's furballs and upchucks are, so the stains in the carpet won't show up so much when company comes over. by Dahlia W.

When you go visit your relatives and ask if its okay to bring your babies, who then stare at you and reply "but you don't have any children." by Lisa Sleeman

By the beyond-worn-out doorknobs on all of the doors leading outside. By the streaking "Let Me In!" pawprints on all of the windows leading in. By the empty hangers in every closet... the garments they intended to hold in a heap on the floor having been lovingly removed by curious paws. By the numerous clipped cat food coupons that add an artistic flair to the refrigerator. by Mismatch

By the bowls of water on the countertops. By the empty boxes everywhere for kittie's to nap in. By the cover on the car when it's in the garage. By the garage door left up about 8 inches for kitties to get in and out. By the washroom full of kitty items: sacks of food, bowls, bedding for 15 kitties, cleaning products safe for cats, litter boxes, grooming tools, grooming table, and meds. by Linda Dean

By keeping the roller shutters down when opening the windows and not using the balconies in case the silly kitties fall off (four stories). By not having any plants in case they are poisonous. By the number of cat food comparisons you have done to make sure they eat the best food for them. By spending more time talking to them than to your fiance. By the shredded sofa and three cat-trees/scratchposts (almost untouched except for naps). By the fact that everything small and not nailed down has been at some point a cat toy. By the two little faces pressed against the glass of the door when I get home from work. by Claire Millington

When you are out you bite your fingernails because you worry about your cat. When you go out to a classy restaurant you have cat fur all over your good dress/suit. by Kirsti

By what is on the floor. Crumpled balls of paper or foil, milk bottle rings, and mousies are dead give-aways. By the pile of clean laundry on the couch or spare bed, with a little cat-hair lined nest in the middle of the pile. One can't disturb a cat merely to put away the laundry, can one? By the paw-prints all over the freshly-washed car. by Joy Gaylord

By the mice, toys, caps, pens.......under the fridge and stove. by Lisa

By the perfectly good comforter, afghan or blanket strewn on the floor and covered with cat fur. Smeary little kitty nose prints four to eight inches above the bottom of the window, too. by Melinda Nowikowski

By the four trash bags of dirty kitty litter on trash day. By the well-washed dirty dishes in the sink and cat hair in the clean ones in the drainer. by Rosemarie

By the unmade bed because kitty was asleep when you left for work and you couldn't bear to disturb them by making the bed! by Tish Silberbauer

By the interesting array of small scars up and down the hands & arms, shoulders & thighs, in various degrees of freshness. The owner of said scars will invariable say "oh, it didn't hurt... that much". by Vicky Chapman
