You Know You're Kitty-whipped when
- your husband takes 4 years of weekly allergy shots so he can endure 3 Himalayan cats in his bed (along with loving wife). Hubby's allergy doctor is also allergic - to dogs (he has 3 dogs in his home; also takes weekly shots; his wife said it was the shots or him - the dogs were staying).

I know I'm kitty-whipped because...
- I haven't bought a new shirt or pair of slacks in 6 months, but I just dropped $100 on a new scratcher for my Kitty...

You realize you're kitty-whipped when...
- I come home from work and say hello to my cat Kip and give him a big hug, then say hello to my fiance.

yes
- I actually suggested that my husband only look for part time work so the cats wouldn't be alone too long. We've skipped dinners out to care for an ailing pet and skipped cooking so we dont't disturb the cat or cats on our laps. My oldest boy cat gets my lap whenever he wants regardless of what I should be doing. Work? Only if he agrees.

You realize you're kitty-whipped when...
- You spend more time in the grocery store picking out cat food then you do picking human food.

You realize you're kitty-whipped when. .
- You wait up to lock the cat flap after your kitty when he comes home at 1am and then get up at 4 when he starts crying to be let out and when you break down into helpless tears about having to leave your babies in a cattery to go on holiday, end up not going and get them back the next day, that one night apart seeming like an eternity.

You know you are kitty whipped when...
- that tiny baby stray you found has realized at four weeks of age that her tiny three a.m. squeaks summons zombies that rise from the dead to take her to the potty and then feed her milk and Iams kitten formula. The zombie then waits for the kitty to be done before taking her back to bed and letting her eat zombie-toes while the zombie tries to get back to sleep.

peekster and nicky
- you say goodbye to them whenever you leave the house....you make sure their dixie cup is full of water in the morning and before bedtime...you can't sleep properly until one is wrapped around/on your head and has most of the pillow and the other is curled up next to you...you say goodnight and I love you before bedtime...you leave the air conditioner on for them no matter the cost...you're more than willing to feed them, groom them, clean the litter box for them, buy them expensive food because they have delicate tummies :)

You realize your blanket has to go.
- Digger, my special boy kitty, my only boy kitty out of 3 kittys, loves to sleep on my lap but only if I don't use a blanket. I guess it makes him too warm but in the winter I can freeze, in order to make him happy I have to take my blanket off of my lap. Gotta love and keep him comfy!

of course i'm not kitty-whipped
- and why should i be called so? Our relationship is very normal as my sweetie, darling, baaabiee is now sleeping on my special comfort armchair while i am typing sitting doubled on a hard chair, and so what if despite having about 10 scratching posts at her disposal, she prefers to sharpen her nails on my cherished grandmother's brocade covered antique armchair, prefers to drink from a glass on the dining table, will only eat if i encourage her by gentle stroking her head while i sing "you are my sunshine"? I could go on endlessly but why should I? I just worship her and she accepts it very elegantly.

You know you are kitty whipped
- When you don't turn the TV on because the cat doesn't like the noise, and will run out of the room!

Youtube kitty
- ....you discover that Purrly-girl, the former stray who arrived pregnant and full of attitude finally reveals that she prefers the human toilet to the kitty litter tray owned by 17 year old Yami and you spend the next three weeks hiding behind the door with a camera every time Purrly goes into the bathroom. This hyper-kitty-vigilance paid off with a minute of footage of Purrlys finicky positioning on the loo bowl and the 'voila' moment. Sending EVERYone in my email list a link to the youtube piece ( titled "Purrly the toilet trained cat") with a "PS There is a big tribe of human loo using kitties out there" sealed the confirmation that my Purrly, Yami and EVERY other kitty I encounter enrich my life in ways that the non-kitty whipped folk could never ever understand...let alone revel in ...

The prime spot
- you get out of bed only because "Princess Whine-Whine" wants it.

You know you are kitty-whipped when...
- you know four cats are almost too many but, when another cat desperately needs a home, you manage to find room for a fifth.

When you get up at 5:30
- When my cat Caspurr wakes me at 5:30 a.m. I walk him to his food bowl which may or may not have food. He has an automatic feeder and no longer needs me to feed him, but he still wants me to show him where the food is! If he has no food left over, I will throw a few tidbits in the bowl to tide him over. So I guess I am necessary! Caspurr was dumped on the bike trail where I walk and he followed me, meowing loudly, until I picked him up. He was pure white with pink ears and nose and had blue eyes. He started purring immediately, hence the spelling of his name! The vet estimated he was eight weeks old. He is now 18 months old and is a sleek, beautiful cat. He weighs a whopping 17.2 pounds but is not fat. He is long and lean! My husband and I can't imagine not having Caspurr in our lives and we enjoy his antics. He loves to play and he will snuggle in our laps, giving us equal time. Yes, he's spoiled, but he deserves it!
