7 Things Nobody Tells You Before Getting a Cat

Thinking about getting a cat? Here are seven honest things to know before getting a cat, from one cat parent to another.

7 Things Nobody Tells You Before Getting a Cat

1. Your chair is no longer your chair

You can buy your cat the softest bed in the world.

They will still choose your chair.

And somehow, you will feel bad asking them to move.

2. 3 a.m. zoomies are real

During the day, your cat may sleep like they have worked a 12-hour shift.

At 3 a.m.?

Suddenly they are training for the Olympics.

Be ready! 

3. Cat hair becomes part of your life

On your sofa.

On your bed.

On your clothes.

Sometimes on clothes you haven't even worn yet.

Nobody knows how.

4. You will start talking to your cat

And not just:

“Who's a good kitty?”

Real conversations.

“Why did you knock that over?”

“Are you hungry again?”

“Please explain what you are doing.”

They will not answer.

You will keep asking.

5. You will worry about things you never worried about before

Why didn't they finish dinner?

Was that sneeze normal?

Why are they sleeping in a different place today?

Cats are good at turning normal adults into full-time detectives.

6. They will somehow run the house

Cats do not pay rent.

They do not clean.

They do not buy groceries.

Yet somehow, they make most of the rules.

You just live there.

7. You may love them way more than you expected

This is the biggest one.

At first, you are simply getting a cat.

Then they become part of your mornings.

Your evenings.

Your photos.

Your routine.

Your home.

And one day you realize something strange.

You did not just get a cat.

You got a tiny family member with whiskers.

Thinking about getting a cat? Save this first. And send it to the future cat parent in your life. 🐱
