..he has a lovely life with no stress, no tidying up, no work angst. I would like to be so happy! He’s lying on a dirty mat, in the midst of dirty shoes- but he’s in bliss Smile

I’m also jealous of your cat Grin

YANBU my cat has such a good life. I’m jealous too.

WeAllLiveInACoffeeMachine · 29/05/2018 11:21

I ponder whether I'd really like to be a cat if I take into consideration the fact that I'd have to lick myself clean, and couldn't read books. Being a human is currently winning.

My cats have the best life ever. They're indoor girls due to medical issues (have option of garden but they won't go out there) and they just sleep on my bed all day, waking only to chase a bit of string, have a cuddle or eat.

MrsPreston11 · 29/05/2018 11:24

Both of mine are at home, no doubt sleeping. I'm jealous of all (well cared for) pet cats.

FASH84 · 29/05/2018 11:28

I haven't made the bed today because I don't want to disturb the cat... He lives a charmed life, DH sometimes playfully asks him what he contributes to the household and cat meows back, which I interpret as him justifying his position.

Mia184 · 29/05/2018 11:28

I‘m jealous of my cat as well

Racecardriver · 29/05/2018 11:30

I'm jealous of your cat. I actually do a fairly convincing meow and can easily sleep 18 hours a day if you are looking for a second pet Wink

Meepmoop · 29/05/2018 11:34

I'm currently sat in the Vets with mine as he's been fighting yet again and has a big cut in his shoulder. We're both not happy with each other

Squeegle · 29/05/2018 14:42

Loving the kitty pictures. Mine has migrated upstairs to the bed now. A hard life indeed

Strikes me that cats have got it all sussed. They send US out to work to pay the mortgage to keep a roof over their heads and a cupboard with Whiskas in it, and we think we're doing well in life because, well, jobs and cars and that, and they're just doing what we're working towards i.e. retirement, without working towards not having to work anymore.

Oh god, humans are idiots.

alligatorsmile · 29/05/2018 14:46

Also, if you're a cat, people like you more the fatter you get. And you ALWAYS look good.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 29/05/2018 14:49

Mine has a very hard life... 🙄

My cat started losing fur and the vet asked if he was under stress. I had to laugh because all he does is eat, sleep, potter around the neighborhood, get petted, etc. it’s hardly a stressful life!

IlPorcupinoNilSodomyEst · 29/05/2018 14:57

Mine are complete bastards, as I'm getting dressed for work they mooch upstairs to settle down for the day, having had breakfast and a wander in the garden. I am terminally jealous, and have put myself on the list for reincarnation.

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 15:07

I'm jealous of my cat too. Such a hard life..

Rebel is your cat being charged in that photo? Grin

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 15:16

@AnneProtheroe yes. It went flat going bananas in the garden earlier.GrinGrin

AnneProtheroe · 29/05/2018 15:16

Grin Grin

Hushnownobodycares · 29/05/2018 15:24

I have long told anybody who will listen the kids and dh that I am coming back as a cat. Specifically as our cat AKA the Fur Princess Grin

If she had a CV sleeping and ruling would be top of her hobbies and interests list Grin

MatildaLovesBooks · 29/05/2018 15:25

He's so lovely. I love white cats. And I'd love to be a cat too.

elportodelgato · 29/05/2018 15:27

I've wanted to be a cat since I was about 2, it sure looks like it beats being an adult

mavismcruet · 29/05/2018 15:43

My cat lives my dream life. Sleeping, sunbathing, eating and being stroked by my dh. The kids don’t bother her as she can bite but they love her enough to include her in their drawings of the family. Lucky lucky cat Grin

RebelRogue · 29/05/2018 15:45

Wish I could bite DD to leave me alone. Grin

CrispbuttyNo1 · 29/05/2018 15:48

Mine is having a hard life right now too..
