We know, dogs tend to get all the glory. They are man's best friend, after all! But let's have a moment of appreciation for another of our favorite domestic pets: the majestic house cat. Domestic cats may be descended from felines of the wild, but once they're in our house, there's no doubt who is boss. Cats can be cuddly, sweet, and loving, while also being super smart. Once you've picked the perfect cat name and even bought yourself some gifts for cat lovers, peruse these funny quotes that will have you appreciating your feline friend even more. Use them as Instagram captions for all of your cat photos.
Still think of cats as standoffish? Take a moment to reconsider! You're simply witnessing self sufficiency at its finest. Cats require less attention than dogs—they're perfectly content being left alone for the day. They don't require walks (although you can take them out on a leash if you—and they—so choose). And unlike dogs, cats groom themselves, so there's no need to spend extra money on a groomer or attempting at-home baths.
With our case made, read on for 25 quotes that celebrate the glory of pretty kitties!
