18 Times You Wished You Were a Cat

Updated on 10/23/2014 at 6:00 AM

What's better than being a cat? We can't think of anything. Fresh Step agrees, which is why we partnered on this post.

Oh, the fluffiness of cats. It's hard not to get caught up in the soft, purring cuteness — and become slightly jealous of a cat's ability to get away with anything. Kitties everywhere have blinded us with adorableness, leaving many unable to get frustrated by their uncanny knack for taking over our furniture, spending hours lounging in the sun (instead of paying attention to us), and acting so nonchalantly toward toys. But then the furry wins, and we can't stop ourselves from loving the feline. Here are 18 times you totally wished you were a cat. Source: Shutterstock

All-Day Snuggles

And there's a blanket involved. How many times during the day you wish you could do this? Thousands.

Looking Cute When Confused

Because when I look confused I just look clueless, definitely not cute like this little kitty.

String Is the Ultimate Toy

Just think how your world would be different if string were the best thing ever. So much money saved.

THIS.

There are no words.

Lots of Love

You get licks just because you're the cutest.

You Could Do This For One Hour

Bliss.

Naps

Everyone deserves a catnap just like this one. I'm totally jealous right now.

You Get the Whole Couch

No one moves you when you're this adorable.

You Get to Chase Ladybugs

Because what day isn't complete without a stroll while chasing a ladybug? If I did this during my lunch break, I'd get some interesting looks.

Fluff on Fluff

No one gets angry with you for burrowing into the softest thing you can find whenever you feel like it.

The Whole Bed

Sure, you've told your cat so many times to get off the bed and to stop sleeping on your pillows, but we all know she's not listening.

Rolling in the Grass

Yep, just an indulgent roll in the grass. When's the last time you did that?

Working It

This is work for a cat.

Bonus Flower Crowns

We only get to wear flower crowns during festival season. Cats can rock them all year long because they are cats.

You Can Hide Anywhere

Don't feel like going to a meeting? Cats turn a paper bag into a secret hiding spot. We can't sneak under our desk and pretend we aren't there. Darn cats.

Sleeping Is Totally Acceptable

Not interested? Cats just fall asleep — and it's totally acceptable.

Just Walk Away

And once a cat loses interest in something, she just gets up and walks away. Totally jealous of that.

The Best Pets

OK, we actually really do love our cats and indulge them with lots of petting. And that makes us feel pretty good too. So it's a win-win, right?
