Cats are very purrticular about their needs, and we do everything they want us to do, no matter how silly. 

We cat pawrents like to think we’re in charge of our households, but let’s be honest, we’re not. We all know who’s really running the show, and it’s the tiny, fluffy creatures who act like we’ve personally betrayed them by serving dinner five minutes late. We know their favorite snacks, their preferred sleeping spots, the spots they like when we pet and the forbidden spots we pet sometimes anyway. We know which meow means they’re hungry, which one means they’re bored, and which one means a bug is hiding under the laundry basket. And when we have to leave them in someone else’s care, we want to make sure that person knows all these important details too. After all, our babies deserve the very best human servants, even when we’re not around.

Of course, explaining all the quirks of your cats to someone who doesn’t live with them can be quite the task. How do you explain that one cat likes cuddles but only on their terms, or that another will act like they’ve never seen food before despite having just eaten? Sometimes, you need more than a quick conversation to cover everything. That’s where one thoughtful cat pawrent came prepared, leaving their cat sitter a hilariously detailed kitty cheat sheet before heading off on vacation. It covers their cats’ personalities, preferences, and all the little details that make them who they are. And honestly, if you’ve ever lived with a cat, you’ll probably recognize a few familiar behaviors. The internet certainly did, and this cheat sheet is every bit as funny as you’d expect.
