The great father of psychology himself, Sigmund Freud, said that \u201cTime spent with cats is never wasted,\u201d and millions of cat lovers all over the world would agree with that. The delightful, furry creatures may have a reputation for being difficult or demanding at times, but they can fill your life with so much love. Having one as a pet and treating them as a family member entails a lot of responsibility, but it\u2019s all worth it in the end when they give you so much in return.<\/p>
To show everyone just what life is like living with cats, Russian artist Lingvistov has created illustrations based on her own experiences. Her art is appreciated by people who love cats, and even dog lovers get a kick out of them. We encourage you to scroll down to the bottom of this list; you might find your day a little brighter.<\/p>

Felines don\u2019t respect your private space; they are their own bosses and they pretty much go wherever they want to. Working remotely at home? They will sit on your laptop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Image courtesy of lingvistov\/Insstagram<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Exercising? They won\u2019t hesitate to join you. Having your meal? They will climb on the table and position themselves between you and your plate. If you want to take care of one, keep in mind you might need some patience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Who would have thought that Marie Kondo was a cat in her past life? This is exactly the animal form the organizer would have been in her previous life. She may be small but she doesn\u2019t have reservations when it comes to redecorating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t She\u2019ll toss anything that doesn\u2019t belong in a space and she\u2019ll get rid of everything that doesn\u2019t spark joy. It doesn\u2019t matter if you paid hundreds for that item, it will go right out the window. It makes us laugh when cats do that.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Chameleons might be known for changing their colors according to their body temperature or to communicate with other chameleons but they don\u2019t hold a candle to cats. Cats are the masters of blending in, even when they don\u2019t perfectly match the surroundings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t They are so good that you won\u2019t even notice where they are. One minute they look like the interior of a box, the next they look like they are part of your furniture or your rug. You best believe when we tell you they just disappear into the background.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If there is one thing that has happened over the past two years which people consider bad and good at the same time, it\u2019s working from home. Being at home, typing away in your pajamas, and making sales call in your living room is the best thing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t It can also be a bad thing when you have a cat at home. They don\u2019t care if you have an important meeting or if you have to finish your document soon. If they want to intrude, they will. The lady in this illustration is clearly\u00a0incapussitated<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t One of the things that are part and parcel of having a pet \u2013 or should we say, boss cat \u2013 in your home is fur flying everywhere. You can count on it to be on your sofa, furniture, clothes, and sometimes, if you\u2019re not careful, in your food.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t This is the perfect illustration of how your clothes will look if you get a cat. Yes, you can get rid of all the hair but that\u2019s going to eat into your time so if you\u2019re in a hurry, you might end up going on your date with cat hair accessories.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Cats can be annoying sometimes but one thing\u2019s for sure, when they are away from you, you\u2019ll miss them terribly. You\u2019ll miss them disturbing you while working, making sounds when you want them to be quiet, and intruding into your space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Have you ever gone on a holiday alone and had to turn your pet over to someone else\u2019s care while you\u2019re away? We are sure you wanted to \u201ctalk\u201d to them while you are away and perhaps ask them how their day was going without you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If you think you\u2019re the boss, you couldn\u2019t be more wrong if you have a cat. Your feline is in charge. It calls the shots and it tells you what you can and cannot do, as well as when you can or cannot leave.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t We\u2019re sure it\u2019s familiar to you and we\u2019re sure this has happened plenty of times before to cat owners. You don\u2019t tell them to get off you. They decide when you can go. Of course, you\u2019re listening because that\u2019s what you really want.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If you have a cat in the house, you have to be ready to give up most of the space in the home to it. You can\u2019t tell it to go away or to remain on its bed because it\u2019s gonna find its way to the furniture, the laptop, the table, the bed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Nothing is off-limits to them so if you can\u2019t deal with having a tenth of the sofa space to yourself, we suggest you rethink your idea about getting a cat (if you had one). Your space is no longer going to belong to you alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Cats, being the royalty that they are, don\u2019t like being disturbed. They want to wake up whenever they want to and do whatever they want. being fiercely independent and self-sufficient, they don\u2019t obey anyone and they won\u2019t heed anyone\u2019s command.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t If your cat is sleeping, you better not disturb it because we guarantee you that they won\u2019t like it. Leave them be and let them wake up when they want to so that you\u2019ll also have a peaceful life. Unless you like to tease them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Every surface in your house will be covered with cat hair or as other people like to call it, kitty sprinkles. You\u2019d better get yourself a reliable vacuum that can help with all the cleaning. You could make a coat with all they leave behind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The moment your cat stands up from the floor or any furniture in your home, some fur is going to leave its mark. It\u2019s best to set aside time for tidying up because it\u2019s necessary if you want to keep your house livable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t One thing about cats that set them apart from dogs is that they enjoy playing with boxes and bags. They like crawling into things. Remember what they say, \u201cIf I fits, I sits\u201d? That is very true of cats. Small enclosed spaces are their versions of man caves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Cats are very fluid too; they fit into everything. Sometimes we wonder how small bags can fit fluffy felines. We recommend not disturbing your cat when they are in their caves. What harm are they causing, anyway? Toss that empty Amazon box in the recycling later.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t If they want your attention, cats will do everything they have to just to get you to notice them. They will crawl on top of you, they will purr and purr, and they will roll around if they have to.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t If you\u2019re reading a book, they will ensure you won\u2019t be able to finish it if they\u2019re feeling affectionate, we guarantee you. Your cat won\u2019t stop bugging you until you pay attention to it and the earlier you start doing so, the better.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Remember what we said about cats wanting to stay in their cat caves? This is the perfect illustration of the dilemma they face when they are made to choose between boxes or bags. This is the complete opposite of what it\u2019s like to get caught between a rock and a hard place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t This is getting caught between their two favorite things but we\u2019re sure that most felines would choose the box. It\u2019s more comfortable, we imagine, because it\u2019s structured and it\u2019s easy to get in and out of. What do you think?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t How many times have you bought your cat a nice bed that\u2019s not only comfortable but also expensive? Only the best for our fur babies! We are sure you have done this more than once but your cat still sleeps on your bed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t#1 They want to be involved in everything<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
