A study showed that watching cat videos increases the viewer’s mood and even energizes them. Now imagine how happy and cheerful the people who dared to bring these fluffy creatures into their homes have become. Yes, cat owners sometimes face obstacles, but life with the appearance of a little whiskered face in it becomes much richer.
Bright Side figured out what worries, challenges, and happy moments constitute the typical, everyday life of a cat owner.
“At first, my mom didn’t believe that our new cat was odd. My dad and I were both cry-laughing.”
“This is Tigger’s favorite chair. As soon as you get up from it, she will promptly take this chair from you and give you this smug expression.”
“We got him a bed but then a paper towel fell on the floor, so nevermind.”
“My cat stole my neighbor’s package and tried to give it to me. Luckily, they also have a cat so they understand everything.”
“Carl loves me a lot. He always patiently waits for me to eat and then to pet him.”
“She always makes such a cute face when she’s destroying the window screens.”
“Coco turns 20 this month, so of course, we celebrated.”

“Maverick is testing out a new way of sitting on a chair.”
“My cat’s reaction when she saw me in the bathtub”

“I spend money on expensive cat beds and he sleeps in this cat carrier.”
“Our little man rolled off the edge of the couch while he was asleep and my girlfriend decided to support his head. She’s already exhausted, but she doesn’t have the heart to wake him.”
“This is Whiskey. Earlier this week, someone tried to rob us at home, and this guy woke me up, ran to the window, and watched the front door. He’s our little guard kitty.”
“Hermione resting on her favorite pillow — me”
“I’ve been Brutus’ mom for 14.5 years, but he’ll never look at me the way he looks at my husband.”
“My cats decided that there should be a hole in the sweater.”
“A year and a half ago, a treat accidentally fell down this vent. My cat, Patrick Bateman, still checks it every single day to see if there’s something tasty in there.”
