You're a cat person if...

I was inspired to write this after yesterday's Herculean task of making the bed while keeping my cat happy. 

You're a cat person if...

1.  You and your significant other are huddled on a 6 inch swath of your queen-size bed while your cat is happily sprawled out on the rest. Bonus points if your cat's head is on your pillow.  Double bonus points if your cat is also under the covers.

2.  Your cat running out of her favorite treats is considered a crisis and warrants an immediate emergency run to the grocery store to purchase more.  Bonus points if you keep a stockpile of treats to avoid this catastrophe.  Double bonus points if you know which store carries your cat's favorite brand/flavor and which one doesn't.

3.  You pay enough attention to your cat to know her favorite brand of treats.  No bonus points for trying them.  That's just gross.

4.   When making the bed, you pray that you can get it done before your cat notices and decides to jump on the bed and roll around.  Bonus points if you continue to make the bed while your cat is rolling around wildly.  Double bonus points if you manage to get the entire bed made this way, regardless of how it looks.  Those double bonus points are earned because I know you shed some blood during the process.

5.  Instead of attempting to make the bed with your cat on it, you brave fate and lift the cat up and put her down on the floor.  You then crawl over the bed to finish making it so you can avoid being within swatting range. 

6.  Your cat has more beds to lounge around on throughout your house than you have places to lounge around on.  Bonus points if you have more than one cat bed in a room.  Double bonus points if your cat has a special bed for the winter holidays.

This just scratches the surface.  Add yours!
