If you haven't brought a cat into your home and heart yet then I've got news for you: everything you think you know is almost surely wrong. Just throw all those preconceived notions out the window where they belong. Owning a cat is a special experience and most of us cat owners know that cats own us way more than we know them. OK, you probably knew that little gem, but everything else on this list? These are the facts of life we've come to accept as cat owners and they are "truths" only we can understand. 

So, if you own a cat, then you'll understand every image on this list with enthusiasm. If you don't own a cat, buckle up for the ride and learn a thing or two about why cats are the best.

1. Second breakfast...

Or, "if you let my bowl deplete of any amount of food I will not leave you alone until you fill it." However many breakfasts that is.
