Some people have dogs, other people own cats. And the unknown number of the latter ones are more or less living in delusion. They only think they own cats when in fact, it’s their cats who totally own them. How is that possible? The pictures below speak louder than thousands of words.
Compiled by Bored Panda, we present to you a list of the most spoiled kings and queens of the feline world who shamelessly rule their households and set their own rules. Think of it as the tribute to our endless love for these sneaky furry animals who stole our hearts at some time back in history and never gave it back.
Are you a proud owner of a demanding mouser too? Make sure to hit us in the comments and share your story, as well as check out our previous post with spoiled, more spoiled, and the most spoiled cheeky cats and kittens right here.

“It’s great to pay attention to your cat, but spoiling can be detrimental,” Molly DeVoss, a certified feline training and behavior specialist who runs Cat Behavior Solutions agency, told Bored Panda in an interview via email. Molly says there are two types of spoiling: “indulging their species’ needs and indulging in human spoiling.”
“The difference is feeling responsible for relieving boredom, and providing proper nutrition and outlets for natural behaviors and inherited skills, versus things like dressing them up in clothes and feeding them pate,” the cat behaviorist explained.

Molly also said that “if you 'spoil' your cat by providing everything the feline species needs, you will very likely be preventing any potential future behavior issues.”
“On the other hand, if you 'spoil' your cat with dress-up and foods that are not healthy for them, the cat may eventually let you know how unhappy he really feels about it—and that might be aggression or destruction issues down the road,” she concluded.
Molly recently did a wonderful podcast for any cat owner who’s struggling with a demanding cat (or demanding too much of them) called “Helicopter Cat Parenting.” Find out Molly’s insights on the subject matter right here.

I Think These Cats Might Be Spoiled
They’re not allowed to be outdoor cats, but this is the next best thing!
For everyone wondering, the reason why our cats aren't allowed outside is because we live in an area with foxes and coyotes, so predators are a real concern. We're also by a semi-busy road, so cars pose a problem, too. We only set up the tent/tunnel system when we're around and can keep an eye on things; the cats are never left out there unattended.

Responded To Some Late-Night Screaming From The Cat. Turns Out Her Dry Food Was All Pushed Up Against The Sides Of The Bowl And She’s Out Of Wet Food. Obvious Crisis
It's not the cats being dramatic or a**holes. It is because their whiskers are sensitive and the edges of the bowl irritate them. Thus, they can't eat their food. Cats should be fed from shallow bowls, or plates even.

My Cat Likes To Sit On My Chest And Bite My Shirt
One of my cats sucks on material things, especially my dressing gown and quilt. She's extremely dribbly anyway which doesn't help and am constantly discovering wet patches, it's yak. She also adores licking plastic carrier bags or plastic bin liners. The best one is when she poops and scratches the wall to 'bury' it. She's such a weirdo.
These are indicators that she was weaned/taken from her mother too soon. They don't get rid of the need to suckle unfortunately.

I have two cats and I live next door to my disabled mum who I care for. She's mostly independent. When my cats first started following me round to mum's mum was adamant they wouldn't be allowed in the place. Fast Forward to today where my cats are spending the night with her as I'm working a night shift and she didn't want them alone all night. She feeds them but I take them home when I'm home. They keep her company and make her smile daily. She gets comfort from them and I will be forever grateful to them for this.
I have thoroughly, enjoyed this post, I must say, I love all animals, I had dogs for years, I now have two cats, I am unable to walk, the amount of time, for a dog, I miss my dogs, they were wonderful, and all my pets, were rescues, and perfect pets, please adopt !!!
Unable to spoil our children, we spoil our pets, and grandchildren, but pets are like toddlers, they are curious, loveable and so adorable, my two are pampered, I walk by as they nap, I must stop, pat and kiss, the top of their head !!!
Oh, that was fun...but the third sentence in is utterly false. Those of us who share our homes with cats are under no illusions that it is WE who own THEM. We are well aware of our place in the scheme of things, and are content with it.
