Are You a Cat in Human Form?

If you’re a crazy cat person, like me, there are times you might think that you’re actually a cat in human form. Last year, I was walking through a parking lot with a friend, and a car turned a corner rather quickly. In darting out of its way, my friend noted that my movements were vaguely feline. I often feel like a cat in human form, but if you’re not sure, then I Heart Cats has a list of signs you should look for. Here are the most important signs.

You might be a cat in human form if you love your naps.

I love naps. Being surrounded by sleeping cats makes me very sleepy, just like a cat. Besides that, I actually sleep a little better at night when I’ve got a cat with me. If this is true of you, too, then you might be a cat in human form.

You might be a cat in human form if you’re nosy by nature…which you label as curious.

You find that you have to investigate everything that looks strange. Walking along the sidewalk, and something shiny catches your eye? You must go to see what it is, even if you’re sure it’s just a foil gum wrapper. I do this all the time. I also have to stifle my natural inclination to ask questions about things that aren’t any of my business, and then I feel like I’m going to die of curiosity.

You might be a cat in human form if you like affection on your terms.

This can be a bit of a sticking point between me and my husband, but we work on it. Despite feeling like I’m a cat in human form, I’ve had to work with my husband on giving him affection sometimes when he needs it. It can’t all be on my terms.

Did you know you might be able to train your cats to like certain types of affection, too?

You might be a cat in human form if you’re a bit of a loner.

This is definitely me. I’m not anti-social, but crowds drain me of energy, and can even upset me to the point where I need to run away. This can even be true at small gatherings if there are too many people I don’t know there.

I love spending time with the people I’m close to. If this is you, you just might be a cat in human form.
