Life with cats is definitely an interesting one. Don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly more positive than it is negative. But it is hard to describe whatever this is.
By this, we mean cats doing unexplainable things. Things that eventually wind up on What’s Wrong With Your Cat?, a subreddit that’s all about that what the heck are you doing, Mr. Cat? lifestyle. And cats have been doing weird things for so long (and humans have been documenting it accordingly) that we were encouraged to come out with a best of listicle. So enjoy!

My Mom’s Cat Stares At Her Like This Until She Pets Him
Audi will plop on my chest so I can't breathe, and lift up his chin so I have the comfort of petting him as I die.
I've got one of those. Best we keep Winnifred and Audi apart, for world safety.

So, there’s this online community—What’s Wrong With Your Cat?—which celebrates all things odd, crazy or just plain on “huh?” of the cat variety. And before you wonder, no, there’s genuinely nothing wrong with those cats. The cat.exe file is definitely not responding at that moment, but it’ll reboot itself (whether in time, or with a cat treat) and all will be well.
In the meantime, 728,000 members approve of the chaos.
She Yells Until I Let Her Join Me In The Bathtub

Now, for the record, that’s not all that life with a cat really is. It’s much more normal (for lack of a better word) than this, actually. Folks on Quora have been sharing their takes on what life with a cat is like. And, if you ask me, it feels like a life worth living.
Cats make great companions. If you take care of them, they will take care of you. They will snuggle with you, play with you, and greet you when you come back home after a hard day's work. They will soothe and entertain you. And they will do a good job of it, too.

He Carries His Ball Into The Tub And Knocks It Around For Hours And Then Passes Out
This is an excellent strategy to prevent lost toys. Are you sure this is an orange cat?
That is so sweet! Another orange cat thing - they are very creative.
Never mind the cat, the heck kind of a tub is this? Is it for squatting?
Well at least he didn't break something or knocked it off a shelf to entertain himself.
Another person illustrated this with some glimpses into the life of their cat: you can always find someone sleeping at your side… or on your side; they always say good-bye and hello when you’re going or getting back from work; they purr sweet lullabies when you go to sleep; and they’ll even strike a weird pose whilst doing so. Best part? They are always with you. In the form of hair on your beautiful clothes. All of them.
Does Anyone Else’s Cat Sit Like This Or Are Yours Normal?
Dis Unacceptable
Liquid Cat
Now, what if you have multiple cats? One cat person explained that it’s like living with slave drivers and you’re the slave. Picture this: they demand you feed them at 6 in the morning, every morning. And they never stop chasing you until you do it. Then they go to sleep until they feel like asking for something more. Like cuddles or playing or whatever. And then they continue to terrorize you by disrupting your work or getting in your way. And why do you continue having cats? Because “we can’t resist.”
Alright Then
That looks like an awful high shower head. Are you a very tall person. Looks like I wouldn't be able to reach it.

But all jokes aside, having a feline companion is a rewarding experience. They are loyal, loving, and affectionate creatures, ones who don’t demand your soul plus an arm and a leg as they are pretty self-sufficient given the possibility. All the while, they are great pets to have for you to build character—they require patience and understanding, which you will ultimately learn and will be a better person for it. You might also learn to be more disciplined and consistent to accommodate their needs.

That’s The Look Of “Don’t Go To Sleep Tonight Or Else”
help my parents are asleep and I burst out laughing- they are gonna kill me-
By far, the best explanation for what it feels like to live with a cat comes from long-term cat companion Kuromi Jenkins:
“Have you ever met a toddler with a severe attitude problem? You know those parents who look frazzled in a supermarket? The ones trying to keep it together, who look like they’ve died a little on the inside and have truly lost the will to live, as they stand patiently waiting whilst their toddler from hell has the world's biggest tantrum in the middle of the supermarket because they wouldn’t let them eat the washing tablets and is now in the process of a full on snot, tears and carnage rampage that would impress even Godzilla? Yeah. It’s like that.”

Caught My Cat Yawning While Tilting Her Head. Confirmed Eldritch Horror
Was with my son shopping for our cats at a pet store, with the imperfect timing that they were having the Shelter in for cat adoption. Walking through the rows, saw 1 with a clearly broken neck. Otherwise seemed to be fine. Was vamping for me and my son (mostly my son), who cried out, "We can't just leave it here!" I replied: "You're correct, but we can't take it home, either. Your sister's cat will exploit that weakness and push him down the stairs." So I called 2 friends, who each called 2 friends, etc., and we waited, until one came and adopted that sweet, sweet, boy. He lived and loved and bit, happily, for another 6 years.
Kuromi’s experience of a cat is akin to having a problem child. The cat they had was named Newton, and their cat was what the internet colloquially referred to as an a-hole.
Kuromi had ample negative experiences with Newton—from the little guy vomiting on someone or their belongings, dragging something that’s still alive into the house while guests are over or deciding to make a natural fertilizer of a statement on someone’s flower bed not 6 feet away from the owner.

And two seconds after this picture was taken, Michael found himself explaining to the insurance company that one of the stands must have been lose because the tv just fell on the floor for no reason.
But they still loved him.
Newton could be really nice at times, and even happy. Sure, it was usually when the critter wanted something, but Kuromi cherished those moments of affection and softness for they did not know how long it would last before the next. And while Kuromi’s work is pure satire, it’s based on real events—events that were still pleasant. Over 15 years of them, in fact.

Load More Replies..."When I was your age, things were much better and people more polite..."
Truth be told, Kuromi admitted that Newton was the most entertaining cat to write about. Considering that they had 9 cats and fostered 2 over the years, they knew cats better than the average Joe could ever, so they knew very well what they’re dealing with. And how to do it. “In fact I would gladly do it all over again, just to have him back,” concluded Kuromi in their post.

This brings back memories. Growing up, our cats would do this all the time and it would drive my dad crazy because he would always have to replace the screen on the back door. In the summer time, you always knew when the cats wanted in, or outside, because you’d hear this loud BANG on the screen door, followed by him yelling if he was home from work. Sometimes I almost miss it.
