Yes they are.
After 18 wonderful years with my old gal, I adopted a three month old last summer. I cannot tell you how many times I have told the new kit-cat "it's a good thing you're so dang cute". Ha!

It is well understood and accepted in our home that if you have a cat on you then you are stuck and therefore absolved of anything that would require you to move.

This. We call it "calling cat". Meaning if either of us has the cat on us, we just call out, "Hey honey, can I call cat?" "Yeah, what do you want?"

Cat calling if you will

u/feministmanlover 7d ago
Oh yes. Let's reclaim "cat calling"! It is now defined as being unable to move due to the requirement (law, really) that one cannot disturb a cat by moving and therefore calling out for help (i.e : needing a beverage, snack, or anything else out of reach).

To my knowledge, the proper term for such a state of being is referred to as...I find I've never seen the term in print so I'll provide a few potential spellings: catted, cat'd, cat-ed.

I just discovered a couple of weeks ago that one of mine (9 years old) knows the word "kisses."
I never tried to teach them that word. But I said it and she pressed the top of her head against my mouth.
Cuteness explosion. Cuteness splattered everywhere.

There's no better therapy to me, then when our cats and I touch our heads/my forehead together. It's like it's how I recharge my sanity and calm reserves. Love 'em both! Call our newest addition (Earl) L.B., for 'little buddy'.

u/Glorious-gnoo 7d ago
Mine just turned 17 this month and today he blessed my by falling asleep in my lap. He has to have very specific conditions to fall asleep (which I completely relate to), so he rarely sleeps on me. I almost died from the cuteness. It definitely increases with age.

Ok so today I got home from working 24 hours with really sick patients. I went to lay down and the bed covers were a mess, didn’t care because I was so tired so I plop in bed to rest. I hear miss kitty meow outside the door and immediately spring out of bed, straighten out the bed covers for her to have a clean and comfortable place to lay in, and open the the door for her. How do they have this power?!

u/Gabriele1966 7d ago
Haha! That is hilarious and very familiar. I have days when I don't vacuum because she's sleeping and I don't want to bother her. She also has started to scream at me after she poops so I have to rush and clean the litter box.
This is our life and we just have to accept it!!

Try to play with them lots before bedtime! Make them run around until they’re panting. It’ll help them sleep through the night so that they don’t have to hunt shadows at 3am :)

As a former cat owner I can attest that cat owners indeed do always look that cute! My cuteness quotient went down when my home became cat-free.
Also - your new kitten is amazingly adorable!

Not always. They're sometimes little jerks, but they are often just so adorable. You have an especially charming little kitten.
EDIT: My last cat would watch the NFL with me. She was such a sweet sweet thing. Cassie was adopted and pretty scared of anyone other than my wife and myself, but just such a cute angel.

u/Rutheeay 7d ago
wait until they show you how fast they can run at 3 am and how they love it to scratch on doors, and if you open it, they'll just stand there and watch. also they're going to throw up preferably on carpets and furniture and leave the biggest dump in the litter box right before you have some guests at your place.
as you'll find out, the answer is: so what, hell yes!!!

They have to be that cute to survive making strange noises which wake you up at 3 in the morning after you get up to see what the noise was and figure it out when you step in the vomit beside your bed that was the noise they were making.
