Beautiful painted rocks! Cats are even easier to take care of than other pets like hamsters or goldfish!

@@Thejoyofcats Love of cats must be the secret! 😍

[@Spikypotato.]

I regret not getting cats earlier in life. Cats are AMAZING, they are loving, funny, calming, just balm for the soul… I wouldn’t be able to care for a dog now due to my chronic illness (severe M.E. and postural intolerance😵‍💫). I like dogs, but I really do prefer cats due to their hygeine😅 Cats are my company all day long ❤

cats are best friends!

Lifelong cat lover. Had to care for 2 dogs. NEVER AGAIN! Dogs smell, eliminate everywhere, jump, bark, lick, are often violent...I could go on and on. CATS are beautiful, clean quietish, soft, warm, intuitive, empathetic, loyal and loving...I could go on and on. Cats RULE. Those (other things)? NO THANKS!

[@Thejoyofcats]

Those are definitely some of the downsides to dogs. Cats are the best!

Where do you buy your cat t-shirts? ❤😍

[@Thejoyofcats]

The shirt I am wearing in this video was a gift from my sister. She got it at a thrift store. In other videos, the shirts are ones that I designed, for example, "Introvert Will Talk About Cats," which is available on Redbubble. I tried doing Print on Demand a couple of years ago: www.redbubble.com/people/catladyjoy/shop?asc=u There are also a few on Amazon. www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A7141123011%2Cp_4%3AThe+Joy+of+Cats&ref=bl_sl_s_ap_web_7141123011 I also have a lot cat shirts that were gifts and I have no idea where they came from.

[@WomenBlazingTrails]

I'm definitely a dog person but I do own a cat now though i never really wanted one. She gave me no choice 😂

[@Thejoyofcats]

@@WomenBlazingTrails that’s how it starts with cats sometimes. And then you might became a cat lady 💜
