Absolutely. As a person who has 3 cats in our household now, & has had 4, the struggle is real. But the rewards are worth it.
Two cats, one gray and white, one a dilute tortie, sitting on the table as a woman tries to protect her breakfast croissant from them. There is a pot of coffee, a glass of juice and coffee cup in front of her. A corner of an iPad is in the right side of the picture.

Our dilute tortie Misty says ‘Hi, I’ve been busy rearranging the toy bin and sniffing the catnip toys.’ #caturday
A dilute tortie cat is nose down in a round cloth covered cat bed that is used for storing toys because none of the cats sleep in it. There is a wood chest behind her which has videotapes in it.

You’ve never had a cat, have you? Our tortoiseshell cat Roxy, when she was still with us, draping herself over the back of my office chair at our house.

Reading this thread and realizing our sweet departed Samwise was an absolutely 💯% orange tabby weirdo. Sitting with head cocked, sleeping on his face, and he always got into the litter box, scratched, then put both front feet outside and squatted to pee.
An orange tabby cat sitting with his front legs folded on a laptop, on a gray couch, with a dark red pillow against its back behind the laptop. An orange tabby cat squatting with front feet outside a litter box, back half inside. There’s a gray cat trying to get past him, and the boxes are under a table. There’s a blue wastebasket with recycled paper in it in front of the cats.

Far too many books and at least one cat to guard them will ward off any evil that might come.
A gray tortie cat sitting on the lower shelf of a bookshelf. There are floor tiles and a register covering in front of her and the corner of a table beside the bookshelf. A small red mousie toy is on the floor in front of the register.

Bob says he’s been a good kitty, demanded treats for #internationalcatday and even shared them with Sadie and Misty

No cheating. Post the last pic of your pet.

Why is it that the biggest cats have the tiniest highest meow? Example below
A gray and white cat dozing with his face and one paw on a person’s foot. The person is wearing a tan slipper. The rug under the cat is dark red with a Persian design in tan and black on it. The cat’s back is against a wooden coffee table.

New directions - looking for the light, the comeback album
Two cats silhouetted in a doorway, one is sitting back and the other one is in the door looking out toward the sunlight. The door is white metal and the inner door is dark wood. There are some green plants outside and part of a brick side wall is visible.

Misty agrees. She needs her nap now, so will have more to say later.

When he was removed all of the Democrats should have walked out with him in solidarity. They are cowards.

A sad #Caturday in our hearts and house-we lost our sweet 18+ year old cat, Sam. Old age caught up with him and we had to take leave of him, sending him across the rainbow 🌈 bridge.
An orange tabby cat with white mouth and tail tip sleeps curled up on a gray and brown striped sofa cushion. There is a dark red cushion behind him. An orange tabby cat leans with his front leg up on a window sill. He’s sitting on the floor by a floor to ceiling window, behind a plastic object and the corner of a box with a towel in it that he sometimes used to sleep in.

Our cats will gather round and look concerned like they do when we have to give our 18 yr old cat his monthly B12 shot. Of course, they will expect treats afterward.

Sadie likes to curl up on top of the fridge by the heat vent.

We have cats and one of ours does this on the edge of the table. Also another is a high wire (or high frame) expert!
