    12 Things They Didn't Tell You About Having A Cat

    Think owning a cat is easy? Think again...

    1. Hair, hair everywhere

    2. No matter what you're doing, when Tiddles wants petted, you pet him... immediately... before he attacks

    3. You've just got in from work and Tiddles wants to play, he's happy for all of thirty seconds before he starts to bite and scratch like a little bitch.

    4. You're sat watching EastEnders until you get a sudden smell of cat faeces, Tiddles comes strolling into the room after leaving you a present in the kitty tray, which he believes you should clean... IMMEDIATELY!

    5. As soon as you enter the kitchen, no doubt Tiddles will be lurking about...

    6. It normally happens in company, when Tiddles comes over and starts cleaning his family jewels.

    7. Friends are beginning to think you self harm as scratches magically appear...

    8. You start to give up on buying nice furniture because, although Tiddles has 30 scratch posts, he still feels the need to damage your antique coffee table.

    9. When you leave your wardrobe door open, Tiddles is straight in there to smear hair and fur balls all over your neatly folded jeans.

    10. It's normally at 3am when Tiddles decides that he wants to participate in the kitty olympics and runs about like a bull in a china shop.

    11. Everything is a place for Tiddles to lie, even if it's not his, because he is his own person and couldn't give more of a shit.

    12. But through all the bull shit, life without Tiddles wouldn't be the same. You love him and he loves you and he would guard you with his life... although he wouldn't stoop as low as you to admit that.
