From the article: Confessions of a Kitty-Whipped Slave
I'm a self-confessed kitty-whipped slave to cats, but I'm not sure when I first became aware of that fact. If you consider yourself in the same CATegory, please complete this sentence: You realize you're kitty-whipped when. . .
NOTE: Questions or responses to others cannot be published. Think of this as your own mini-article. Finish the sentence
My cats allow me to live with them
- when you don't make the bed because there are several little furballs laying in the middle of it....when you make their breakfast of salmon and shrimp before you make yours consisting of coffee and cold cereal....when you let the answering machine get the call because there are two little critters asleep in your lap....when you know she will be on the sunporch for only two minutes because it is too cold, but you wait by the door to let her back in....and finally, I lost my oldest, Dudley on Oct 14 and yesterday I found a bird feather that was exactly his colors, beige and white, and started crying again. Rest in peace my furry little boyfriend. I always loved men with fur on their backs.

You realize you're kitty-whipped when...
- You're eating $.39 tuna from a can, and the cat is eating $4.00-a-can prescription diet salmon feast.

You know your kitty-whipped when. ..
- you get up from eating dinner to turn the water on in the sink because your kitty (who has neveer drank from a bowl in his life) is standing in the sink staring at you, and then two hours later you realize you left the water running! Ouch!

Strays
- You have little time to yourself because you have taken in 20 strays and given them a loving home. Litter box cleaning becomes a full time job!

Cat? Or baby?
- When you and your husband trade off early mornings to feed and keep her company, even though it's 4:00 in the morning, otherwise she'll cry all night.

Where is She?
- I wake up at 3:30 AM because Lil Bit isn't walking on me, and then have to get up to look for her to make sure she is OK.

Pillow King
- ...you don't complain when kitty wakes you out of a sound sleep as he climbs onto your pillow when you're fast asleep and takes what must be 5 minutes turning in circles as he arranges himself comfortably, winding up on your face, fur up your nose so you can't breathe. You delicately try to extricate your nose to the air so you can breathe, without disturbing him.

Mom Cat
- I took in 30 cats and they rule. They let me live here and pay their bills. I have a small spot n the bed where they let me sleep. Litter box detail is a fulltime job. They love me and i love them.

Dinner sitting on toilet
- YOU end up eating your dinner in the bathroom with the door closed because your babies want what you're eating. Or when you finally give up and stop buying the luring food even when you really like it.

kitty whipped..who me?
- You know you are kittty whipped when you go to rescue what seems to be a very small kitten running around in the back yard, and you fall down the embankment into the pond with your new shoes only to break your leg in the process. OR you find a feral kitten and nurture it and giv it to a rescue center for a Forever Home and then the shelter gives it back to you after 2 weeks. And then a year later they ask for the feral kitten back and actually take you to court to get the darn cat back. And you pay them $250.00 in court costs for a darn feral cat that I found in the first place. That's a really kitty whipped person. But I have no regrets.

Cool kitty
- We got a great rescue cat 6 months ago. He likes to be in the same room with us and he will lay on his side so you can rub his belly, but when you get down there he moves about 2 feet away so you have to go to him and then you can rub his belly, and of course we do it:)

Cat Valet
- Yes, I'm kitty whipped. My dog goes to bed early so I figure I have time to knit and watch TV. Guess who has other ideas. If I'm reading, he fixes that. He sits on the book. If I'm knitting he reminds me that yarn is almost irresistible to cats. He grabs at the yarn and slaps at those bobbing needles. The only way to get any peace is to pick up his brush and give him his daily grooming. I console myself by remembering that all that hair that ends up in the brush is that much less I'll have to work at removing from the furniture. When he decides he's been brushed enough he'll lay back and hope that I'll make the chair rock. He loves that, but eventually he will jump down and go curl up in one of several spots he has reserved as his resting spots. Then, and only then, I can go back to my book or my latest needlework project. He's a good little guy. He bonded with me the day I took him home from the shelter and now he is sure I'm worthy to be his subject.
