People don’t speak Meow, so one cat had to learn English to write down a few important things for her human. Mostly, demands. “A Letter From Your Cat” is a hilarious comic strip by Things In Squares that perfectly captures every detail important to ensuring feline comfort.
Bored Panda has already written about 15+ Comics That Purrfectly Capture Life With Cats, and this one definitely falls into the same category. If you, however, don’t own a cat, don’t get discouraged by this letter. Even though felines are independent and sometimes even cocky, the rewards for taking care of them outweigh all the costs. Scroll down to enjoy the humorous text and let us know in the comments if you own a cat that would agree to it.

Vocabulary of this cat is much much better than mine. 😐
Cats are refined creatures
I am a cat and i approve this message

ur profile pic is a Rhode island red. not an Orpington sorry if I'm being annoying lol
The more I read through this exhaustive list of 'Demands', the more I realized just how blessed I am with my shih-tzu Charlie. All he expects from me is Love, and the occasional treat. I am truly blessed. 😇
That's why it's unadvisable to spoil any pets. My friends own a 16 years old black tom-cat. He's loyal and loving to them and he perfectly knows his place and the rules in the house. Not like the shitty cat who wrote the letter.
He's waiting for the perfect time....don't be confused...Tom is a CAT...not a dog...they don't tell you about...cat fur in the food, doors to the bathroom must be left open, shower doors...NO....vomit occasionally...and Tom "knows his place" because Tom taught his humans well.....Tom is a good teacher.
You realize a human made this up. NOT written or endorsed by an actual cat.
Everyone I've ever met who dislikes cats has a bloody shih-tzu! At which point I say "You have a shih-tzu, you're not allowed to judge". Because I'm an asshole, but I'm also honest.
How are you two getting into a serious conversation over this meant to be comical post? xD
I don't have a Shih-Tzu nor do I dislike cats, I just can't have one because my brother whom I care about a lot and visits frequently has allergy-induced asthma to cats. Although I have a neighbor who despises them and has never even owned a Shih-Tzu.
So, you are one of the several cat lovers, who has been downgrading my honest post, eh Markus? Further, I never said I disliked cats. I just love dogs more, that's all.

I hope you realize Markus, that you are inadvertently praising shih-tzus as being special. Incidentally, they are the Perfect small dog, sort of like a tiny golden retriever.
Wasn't written by a cat, John L. Was written by a humorist. Who could make an exhaustive list of dog demands that all us dog owners would chuckle about.
You are also lazy, the cat may require a lot of work, but they are worth the rewards.
"my penis!" -Plant LOL
I have two cats. They both acknowledge that I am the alpha cat, as I am larger and have bigger teeth, also a louder hiss.
Funny 'letter', but if your cat is refusing to use the litterbox, usually there's a good reason. Either the litterbox really is too dirty, or they've got health issues. For sure something to look into. That said, I guess my cat is considered 'well-behaved' since she's not nearly this bad.
Or it is just because it likes a litterbox with or without a cover more. (Just wanted to add that it could be something not obviously without being health issues)
Funny, but totally not like my cat at all.
Well to be fair, you just may not know your cat is thinking these things.
Does anybody elses cat love pepperoni pizza? That is the only thing our cat will beg for and/or attempt to steal.
Mine does or more specifically, the pepperoni and cheese. She's not fond of the sauce or bread parts.
As an ethologist, i really disapprove all of this posts, even it's "fun", "just joke", "harmless".This is very harmful because a lot of person who have animals read it and think that this is "the cat" or "the dog" but for exemple they are carnivorous and not meant to treat any processed food (meat is fine, vegetables for dogs and less for cats, real BARF is very good).Cats need a place to do the do very clean every day, and if a cat pee on someting else it's because the environnement is not cool. Even in appartment a cat can be happy: provide plays (hunt), multiple areas to sit above, under, everywhere in the place, it can be a furniture they can access, love, attention, good food, no multiple cats because they are solo in life and adjust to us, but don't take it as "social".A cat who pee everywhere is a sad cat because of all of that i said.Sorry for my bad english, and sorry to not find this post "cool".I will defend animals who can't talk, ever. logo-anthr...dd-png.jpg
I personally dont agree that cats are "solo in life". Some of the happiest cats I've ever met have had a fellow cat buddy.
Cats are not solitary animals. They are "solitary hunters". These two are often confused. No human can be an adequate substitute for another cat. Technically, most cats that are kept as single animals will show some sorts of behavioral dysfunctions (which might not be obvious to us because most of us are oblivious to the natural behavior repertoire of cats). Keeping only one cat, especially if you're working, is inhumane. That still doesn't mean that two cats will be best buddies and cuddle all the time. It also means that the cats need to get along - yes, not all of them will and this can also result in health problems. However, most cats that don't get along with other cats at all are like this because they've unlearnt their natural behavior and are too focused on humans. It's especially tricky with older cats who've been growing up as solitary animals. Some may accept other cats even later in live, some might at least tolerate them, others never will.
Except the "solo animal" part (see my comment below), I totally agree. Even if supposed to be funny, I really dislike these kind of posts because they exacerbate existing stigmas
As more of a dog person, I'd prefer to see the affable brown dog take over the letter at request three, and quickly text 3 of his most aggro pitbull and Rottweiler pals to come over, and assist in his wish of 4 minutes alone with the cat to settle 2 years of scores before ultimately re-asserting natures way.... And yes: there are millions of great cats, and plenty more who could give a dog a run for his money in a scrap. This apocryphal cat isn't either one of those. No, this letter-writing feline is an asshole of the first order: narcissistic, abusive, and 2 1/2 pounds of e coli perpetually in search of a host. I also strongly suspect that this goddamn nocturnal mouse-murderer and possum-rapist supported Trump. Let loose the hounds.
I read this with the voice of Evil the Cat from earthworm Jim in my head.
Literally my cat 😂😂😂😂
me owww wwwrmerr meowmeow mawwwwww (hooman shold leearn cat languagw)
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ima cat
My cat wrote nine short stories. Maybe you've heard of the cat of nine tales.....
Wet food every day is bad for their teeth. Sorry cat.. not happening.
I've never had a cat this bad.
Based on real life cat stories!!
This cat can go hike Grand Canyon. There is no way I would grant most of those requests, and the others are not pertinent. For example, I do not have a dog, and I won't get one until AFTER the cats I now have pass on.
Beautiful, i can fully understand and appreciate what this cat is demanding, having lived five of my previous lives in cat form. I will definitely wait to see the improvements applied before I contemplate returning in my cat form again 🐱 😺 ❤😁
My cat said this text is especially missing parts about cardbord boxes everywhere.
And now I feel bad for the plant if it could speak with cat like that.
It took 2 years of life for this cat to learn to write .it deserves the royal treatment^_^
Toby to a T.
Why does it say "my penis" on page 3 at the end where the plant is on the floor?
I 100% read that it Draco Malfoys voice
more i read this - more I hate my selfish cat! :D
This is lovely...
K
Ah, cats…
my cats love my dog.
Really witty Really witty!
Someone has been reading The Oatmeal
Well Cats used to worshiped as Royalty and they have never forgotten it. Now, I will continue to feed you dry cat food as i have done for all of your life so far and I will clean you litter box when I get ready at my own leisure. I'm sick and tired of you using me as your bed so stop it! As for you running around the house at 3 AM I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me anymore. The rest of your demands may or may not be met. Sincerely, your loving human!
I've had three cats in my life and none of them behaved like that. If you create a monster, don't blame the cat.
Yeah, um this cat seems terrible. I did an obedience class with my dog and he will do everything I ask him to, and when I say, "Good boy Neville!" It's like he just won the lottery. BUT then I say, "Neville come" and he comes right to me, even if he's playing fetch across the street or can't even see me. And I say "Good come Neville!!" And you'd think he cured cancer! He's so pleased! He sleeps in my bed and does everything I want and loves me just as much as I love him. *Melting heart* Serious question (because i am severely allergic to cats and have never had one as a pet) are cats like this too?
Some cats try to pretend they're the alpha cat, but all the cats I've met (2) are really sweet, and they know who's the boss.
So I'm severely allergic to cats and never really cared for them as a result (no opportunity to love them, you know). There was a cat that would show up at my door cuz my neighbors never took care of it. It looked like the same breed ass grumpy cat maybe? Smooshed face, long fur, etc, but with darker fur. I actually loved that cat. Acted like a dog. Would run to me for when I came home from work. My allergies weren't as bad with him/her as with other cats. It really grew on me, then one day it disappeared and I was quite sad :(
That tail in the catnip one! Laughing so hard
That sounds so british for some reason
Welcome to the world of cat~
My dog, Kai, ran away after reading this. Have you seen her,?
Yes of course.. they don't have any feelings, that's why my two adorable cats always hang around me, purr happily, need tummy rubs, show lots of affection and even sleep next to me peacefully on a daily basis.

My cats just give me the look and eventually I learn what they want. It only took once to learn not to throw away the 'gifts'.
How about I drop you off at a violin string factory?
Haha, well that's creepy...
This seems like a massive rip off of The Oatmeal
"My penis"... LOL!
omg it's so funny
This is hilarious! I guess I'm really lucky to have my pug Frankie!
frankie's a great name!
If it wasn't for the wet food thing this could have been my cat. He hates wet food always gives me a "What the hell is this shit?" look on his face when I give it to him.
Rip off of The Oatmeal.
I am privileged to cohabitate with six of these little bullies....we are not....she doesn't know this yet, but we left a dead bird in her bed....
This cat is an asshole.
most cats are assholes

Sounds like some violin strings ought to be made from this cat. He's getting a little too big for his britches and needs to be brought down a peg...or just killed.
