We’re all being weird about our cats together

I snorted at this, so good! See also: saying “get a job!” to a human baby

my cats chores include:

alarm clock (screaming until I wake up)

washing the dishes (with tongue)

mopping (with tongue)

acupuncture (stabbing claws into my stomach/shoulders/crotch)

making the bed (hiding in the sheets)

kneading dough (clocking in for daily shifts at the biscuit factory)

exfoliating (licking my flesh until it becomes a rough scabby patch)

shredding sensitive documents (destroying cardboard and paper bags)

alerting me that their litter needs replacing (by pooping in the shower)

Lolololol ok the hiding in the sheets thing while I make the bed is INSUFFERABLE. But Alien does kill cockroaches and scare away mice and act as hot water bottle so I have to be grateful

My cat actually does have one chore: hunting and killing flies when they get in through the front door. She’s very good at it.
