    when you get the builder to rip out all of the tiled window sills in your house & replace with wooden ones so that the cat beds fit on them. Kitties need to be comfortable when gazing outside, obviously

    When they lick you awake in the morning - you're obviously too dirty for them.
  • You move your head on the pillow, to allow your kitten to snuggle up with Mum.

    You spend spend your annual leave ferrying kittens to thier various health check ups, sometimes a 120 mile round trip.

    You spend most of your extra income paying for pet meds.

    Finally the most annoying, whilst attempting to complete your dissertation and being allergic to cats (daily anti-histamine is suffice). They parade in your face, itchy eyes ect. To demand either new food, or a rendition of the blue tit on the RSPB's bird identifier (the words rod for my own back, come to mind).
  • When the glass of water you put by the bed is for the cat and not you.

    This is why I swapped to a bottle :)
  • when you are in supermarket mulling over which cheese to buy that they will eat to take their meds in.....

    When your OH kneels on the floor to use the PC rather than the office-style chair by the PC as one of the cats is fast asleep on it :).

    When he stands RIGHT NEXT TO your head at 6am on the weekend, stroking your head and biting your eyebrows until you get up to feed him. Then, when he's finished his food, comes back up to your bed and lies in the most awkward place he can find, stopping you getting back to sleep.

    Or it's 5am, and you and OH have the king-sized bed on it's end trying to catch a HAMSTER (Chinese, apparently). Later to find yourself at Pet At Home rehoming section trying to convince them that the hamster you don't want was bought in through the cat flap by the cat. I'm sure they didn't believe me. I didn't believe me!

    When it takes 5 of them to escort you to bathroom because you're not allowed to wee on your own and you're definitely not allowed to close the door.

    When you're woken up by one of them dribbling into your open mouth.
