One busted ceiling, one surgery, $2,000, four days of tube feeding and five nights on my bed later: my cat is safe.

Out of all the things I've done in life, teaching my once abused shelter cat how to play might be what I'm the most proud of.

If it weren't for our stupid cat yowling for his breakfast, our house probably would've burned down that morning.

I wanted a popsicle until I saw the dead cat blocking everything in the freezer.

I finally got her out of the house after months of being depressed, and everything was going wonderfully until her brother called to tell her that her cat just got hit by a car.

I'd broken it, and after hastily putting it back together I waited until the cat brushed by so I could watch it fall again.

My crazy Polish dad came inside after digging a hole for a new tree in the backyard, holding the skull of "Speedy," my cat who had died months before and said, "Look, it's Speedy! Meow!"

My mom's old cat still insists on purring when he sees me, even though a tumor on his vocal chords means he can't breathe when he does so.

Lost...
Of all the things I thought I would be doing on my birthday, begging my cat to just let go and die peacefully in her sleep so I wouldn't have to take her to the vet to be put down was not one of them.

My cat died almost a year ago, but I still find her hair on my clothes and blankets sometimes.

My cat challenged me to a game of "Guess Where I Pooped Before You Step In It" and I lost.

We weren't sure how to tell the people at the other end that it was the cat who had knocked down the phone and dialed their number.

I imagine the public service crew pruning trees was surprised when the zoo borrowed their lift platform to get a cheetah out of a tree.

I let my cat eat chocolate last week and swear to god we've been best friends ever since.

I panicked, thinking my precious fluffy cat had a tumor, until I realized he just had a Cocoa Puff stuck to his ass.

It's difficult to explain to my 10 year-old sister that I had really no idea the cat was sleeping under the car when I left for school.

I'm staying in the basement of a couple's house, and I swear they send their cats downstairs to spy on me.

I've Tasted Flight
Even though it was lodged somewhere in the bowels of the toilet, we could still hear it chirping.

I vacuumed, on purpose, the rug and, acidentally, the cat.

When I looked in the cot and saw you both snuggled up together in a perfect cuddle, I realised that the bloody cat had been tolerating me until you were born.

I just couldn't understand why my mother had no reaction when I informed her that her cat's name meant "penis" in another language.

When we brought in the eighth cat for the second time, I remember thinking, "This is yet another step on the pathway to Crazy Cat Ladyhood."

As she bandaged my hands I told her of my new plans for worming the cat.
