You might be under the impression that the dynamics between you and your feline are of master and pet. You couldn’t be more wrong.
#1. Let’s talk about cats: they lure you in with their tiny meows and promises of adorable kitten kisses.
#2. But then they pretty much ignore your existence 99% of the time.
#3. Except when they need something, like basic sustenance.
#4. Then they’re literally all over you.
#5. Do you seek their permission first before making any decisions or thoughts?
#6. Always find yourself cleaning up after the dingus?
#7. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like you’ve got yourself an alpha cat.
#8. Alpha cats don’t do things they don’t want to do. Otherwise they end up looking like this:
#9. They also claim ownership over your stuff because they have no sense of boundaries.
#10. None whatsoever.
#11. They don’t care if it’s permanently attached to you — it’s theirs if they say so.
#12. There may have been times where you felt like you were being punished for something.
#13. It’s just their way of asserting dominance over you and yours.
#14. Oh, and unnecessarily destroying your property?
#17. Just something you have to get used to.
#18. They will do it over and over and over again…
#19. Because they are the boss.
#20. And don’t you forget it.
#21. You are there to serve them.
#22. If you don’t prioritise your alpha cat, it will “help” you do so.
#23. Just resign yourself to the fact that you are powerless and at their mercy.
#24. Resistance, dear human, is futile.
