How Cats Can Save Your Marriage*

*only applicable if you like cats
post made out of irony, comprised of partially true thoughts

Marriage is in desperate need of cats. Cats have huge benefits to a single person let alone living in a household with their own humans. 

Here are 5 things in particular that a kitty can transform your beautiful (or rusty) marriage.


  1. Taking care of cats makes you both feel important There are lots to do when you have a cat. You change litter boxes, you play with them, you feed them, they attack you from the other side of the curtains and compare scars. You both get the sharing responsibility of having a baby cat together.                                                                                                                                         
  2.  Bonding time You can mutually bond by sharing what funny things your cats have done when one of you has been at home without the other. You can also share the funny times the bratty one tried to chew your leg off, but it's okay because everyone's up-to-date with their vaccinations! Chatting about the cats can also get things going between you two after an argument, or if something awkward happened between the two of you.                                                                                    
  3.  Traits you haven't seen before Cats can bring all sorts of interesting emotions and reactions out of you that the other person haven't seen before from you. Things like lovingly petting them, moaning at them when they don't come to you, angrily screeching at them when they've ruined your leather sofa. It's so great to see different facets of your partner.                                   
  4. Great source of company Cats provide the greatest company. They really know how to treat you like filth when they want to, but when they're in the mood for it they won't leave you alone! Especially while you're trying to make dinner, ignore a screaming baby and your partner's running around with his fingers in his ears refusing to help you.                                       
  5.  They're a great source of comfort It's really great when they've gone out for ages and then suddenly turn up in the night while you have been sat up worried about them. And they lovingly (loud as a cow) meow for your attention and cuddles (food).

I think these are all valid and great pieces of advice in favour of getting cats to improve your marriage. I don't see where you could possibly go wrong!

Do you have a cat? Why haven't you gotten them the love of their life yet? How have your cats saved you?

    1. I grew up with cats. And our family has cats. 3 right now. My son has a favorite, my daughter has a favorite, and my hubby is in love with the all black kitten we got (against his will according to him). We havea beagle too, there are great things about dogs, and awesome things about cats, can't imagine not having one or two trying to trip me when I got up in the morning! #KCACOLS

    5. I really love cats. I have had them my whole life. I agree with you. They are amazing. They are great company. Sadly we have lost our second cat not long ago and it has been really upsetting. So not sure if we will get a new cat right now but I would like to think that maybe in the future. Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I hope to see you again on Sunday, :-) x

      1. I'm so sorry for your loss! I can't imagine not having your cats around and constantly checking on them and feeding them. That must be hard. No cat can replace the original. Hope you've got lots of lovely memories and mementos to remembery him by. x

      1. You're missing out! Your daughter knows what's up, she needs a pet that mum has to clean up after so that she can get all the cuddles!
