Anyone who owns a cat knows that the cat is basically the one who runs the house. If you think that you’re in charge of your cat, think again – as researchers have found that cats purr and meow in a special way to manipulate us into giving them what they want. And there was us just thinking they were being cute! In fact, cats always seem to be finding ways to show us exactly what they want, and they’re without a doubt the most spoiled member of the household. To prove this, let’s take a look at 40+ spoiled cats that know they’re the ones who run the house.
1. Miniature bedroom, cat edition
We don’t even own a dresser, but meanwhile, this cat has a whole matching set. We have to admit, sometimes cat beds aren’t the most stylish of things, and let’s face it, our cat prefers the human bed (or the couch, or a cardboard box, or basically anything) over their purposely bought bed. So is a miniature human bed the perfect solution for getting our cat to sleep on their own bed? We’re very tempted.
2. A cat bridge
The great thing about this super cool bridge is that it also doubles up as a hammock when your cat is getting sleepy. What is it about cats and their determination to use objects in unconventional ways? Ah well, he seems to be enjoying it.
3. Castle for a king
It wasn’t until we saw the size of the cat that we realized the sheer scale of this thing- it’s huge! This homemade castle will be perfect from kittenhood right into adulthood, and we’re pretty obsessed with how it looks. Would our cat choose this magnificent building over a cardboard box? We’d like to think so.
4. Spoiled kitty has his own leather couch
Tiny couch, or giant cat? This kitty looks like he’s putting his feet up after a long day at work, and it doesn’t get more luxurious than being able to relax on his own miniature leather couch. Where do you even buy these things?
5. If I Fits I Sits [Fancy Edition]
To be honest, we have no idea what you would put in such a fancy bowl like this anyway, so we’re not mad that the cat chose it as his designated napping spot. Though if that was our cat, the crystal ware would be all over the floor, because- well, because he can. This must be one fancy aristocrat.
6. Fine dining
This kitty likes to show off her impressive class status by eating only the finest sushi, and she wants to show you how delicately she can eat her food. Meanwhile, our own cat is perfectly happy scoffing down his biscuits that we bought on sale at Walmart. Ah, how the other half live.
7. My Friend Has A Hammock For Their Cat
The great thing about this hammock is that it may be private on the inside, but from the outside, you can see this cat living his best life through the glass window, and he seems totally unaware of the fact that he has an audience. He looks as warm as a freshly baked muffin and as cozy and content as could be. Are we tempted to buy this for our cat? Absolutely.
8. “Sometimes I wonder if I spoil the cat, seeing him with his iPad, in his yurt.”
It’s no wonder cats these days have no social skills when they spend so much time in front of screens. We remember the good old days when cats were happy simply playing with a mouse or a ball of string. What is the world coming to?
9. Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel
We can’t afford a luxury hotel for ourselves, but would we splash the cash for our cat? Of course we would. Cats were put on this earth to be spoiled.
10. Beemer’s New House
Does… does this kitty live in a miniature White House? Is this little guy the president of the cats? We need answers.
11. Luxury Hotel Room For Cat
We’re a little guilty to admit that we’ve never considered before the possibility that our cats might enjoy a little getaway every now and then. After all, all they do is eat, sleep and chase birds, so their lives aren’t too stressful in the grand scheme of things. But the more of these luxury cat hotels we see, the more we’re being sold into the idea that our spoiled babies deserve a vacation. They’ve earned it.
12. Private jet life
We didn’t think it was possible to be jealous of a cat until now, but here we are. Our cat hates the five minute car journey to the vets, so we can’t even begin to imagine what he would be like on a plane. Since private jets aren’t an available option right now, we don’t think we’ll be finding out anytime soon.
13. Ahi Tuna Sushi For The Cats And Steak For Dogs
This owner is on a mission to put all of us other pet owners to shame. In fact, we kind of wish that we could be adopted by them. We love how the cheeky dog looks as if he’s debating the cat’s meal, as well as his own.
14. A continental breakfast
If you squint hard, this breakfast doesn’t look too different from that delicious fry up that your cat begs you to share every weekend. Maybe a meal this exciting would encourage our kitty to keep his nose in his own plate! The fancy plate that looks as if it’s made for humans would definitely encourage our cat to eat from it as well.
15. Just a cat eating his lobster
In our house, lobster is known for being a ridiculously expensive, once-a-year-on-special-occasions kind of treat. So it’s a little alarming to know that in some households, lobster is such a common treat that even the kitties get their share! Jealous, us?
16. Nilay And Her Time And Relative Dimension In Scratch …
What do you do when you love Doctor Who so much but have no one to share your obsession with? Build a TARDIS for your cat, of course! This amazing mini replica is made of two old IKEA shelves- not that you’d know by looking at it. Forget the cats, we want one!
17. Kitty Condo
Despite the sheer skill that went into building this thing, the cat appears to be quite an unhappy customer. “Excuse me, ma’am, I asked for six floors, not five!” Some people are never happy.
18. Christmas Dinner For Our Three Cats And One Dog
Now this is a tradition that we can get behind. It shouldn’t just be us humans who get to enjoy a mouth-wateringly delicious Christmas dinner! And with the whole house smelling good from the roasting turkey, it’s only fair to let the pets have a bite or two. The gold plates are just an added bonus.
19. Marcelka And Her Table
This cat has observed her humans sitting at the dinner table, and she doesn’t see why she shouldn’t be able to, either. The super smart cat has even grabbed the best seat in the house, though we can’t help feeling a little sad that she’s eating alone. She needs some dinner table companions!
20. Cultured kitty
We still haven’t quite mastered the art of eating with chopsticks, but to this spoiled kitty, it’s quickly become second nature. He now refuses to eat from a bowl, and will only be hand-fed by his humans. Oh what a life to live.
21. Enjoying the view
We know that cats like to spend a lot of their days staring out of the window (or if they’re outside, staring in through the window), so it helps when you have a view as gorgeous as this one to gaze at. We bet there’s a whole host of seagulls to chase, too!
22. A Table For Your Juice? For You To Relax? In My Garden? Yeah.. Right
Anyone who owns a cat knows that what’s yours is theirs- and then a lot of the time, what’s theirs in no longer yours anymore. This pampered puss is under the impression that this table has been bought to use as his very own sun lounger, and he doesn’t like having to share it with his owner. Or the plant pot, either.
23. Dinner time
We don’t know what we love most about this picture: the fact that this cat has a restaurant-style dish served up on his very own human plate, or the fact that his owners have even tucked a little bib into his collar! We hope he enjoyed his tasty treat.
24. A cat with a music studio
While our cat may be bragging about how he has his own water fountain, this cat has taken things to the next level by getting his own music studio. We wonder what instrument he can play? Incoming The Pussycat Dolls!
25. This is what a typical mealtime looks like
This post has opened our eyes to the mind-blowing fact that there are people out there who actually feed their cats caviar. This dish is apparently made up of caviar and cheese, and would you be mad if we said it looks weirdly delicious? Some of these cats are living lives that we could never even dream of living.
26. When it’s been a bad day
Have you ever had one of those days where just about everything has gone wrong, and all you want to do is lay down and take a good, long nap? That’s exactly what this little guy decided to do- and of course, in true cat fashion, he had to be as dramatic as possible about it.
27. Our Beloved Tomcat, Sitting On The Dinner Table And Enjoying The Ipad Aquarium
There’s nothing better than a virtual aquarium for keeping your cat entertained, and despite this kitty’s slightly moody expression (no pictures, please), we think he’s having a *ahem* whale of a time. Cats have to sleep on every piece of furniture in the house, so we love how this spoiled guy had a bed on the kitchen table! Now that’s just asking for trouble.
28. Xica The Cat Waiting For Her Meal, Roasted Turkey…
We have to admit, roasted turkey is a treat that our cat doesn’t often get to experience. We use the excuse that our cat’s own kitty food has been formulated specially for him to be as healthy as possible- but in reality, we just don’t want to share. Some cats really do get it all.
29. In their bed
We’ve seen a miniature cat bed- now it’s time for an upgrade. These three cats have their very own, human sized bed, and there’s plenty of room for all. Lucky fellas!
30. Cat city
What’s with all these creative cat owners putting us regular cat owners to shame? This human actually built an entire city for their cats, and it looks so cool that we want to take a trip ourselves! We love that there’s a cat waiting patiently in the Kissing Booth. Someone put her out of her misery!
31. When the queen demands to play with the ceiling dangles, she gets to play with the ceiling dangles
This little guy has got his owners trained! Apparently, whenever Stardust the cat wants to play with the “ceiling dangles,” all he has to do is whine and look up towards the ceiling- just more proof that cats are manipulating us humans! It’s cats’ world, we just live in it.
32. “I stopped petting her and this is what I got.”
Many people (especially dog owners) seem to be under the false impression that cats don’t like to be petted- and we’ll admit it, there’s a few who don’t. But the majority of cats are actually super affectionate in their own little ways, and love nothing more than some affection from us humans. What a little attention seeker.
33. Mom: “So don’t tell dad… but [stage whisper] this pillow for Bob was €70…”
Spending 70 euros on a pillow for ourselves? Ridiculous. Splashing out the very same amount for a pillow for our cat? Take our money!
34. “DIY’ed a tower for my cats from Amazon boxes. I think they enjoy it!”
Finally, a DIY project that looks somewhat achievable. And with all of our unnecessary Amazon purchases we made during lockdown, we think we have enough boxes to make a whole city! There’s nothing, and we repeat nothing, that a cat loves more than a cardboard box or two.
35. “Spoiled cat doesn’t leave me alone until I put on her show”
Yep, the new generation of cats are now glued to their iPads just as much as us humans are- and now that there are virtual cat games and shows, things have been taken to a whole new level. We’re not completely sure if this new development is totally cool, or a little bit sad- but we’ll do whatever to keep our fur babies happy.
36. “Have you ever seen a more spoiled cat? We just moved into our new place and he has more toys than we have furniture.”
Cat: Has a room full of brand new toys, including a four way tunnel, cat tree with six different beds to choose from, and multiple balls and mice.
Also cat: Chooses to sit in the cardboard box.
37. “Wife says the cat is spoiled. I have no idea what she’s talking about.”
The cat’s face is clearly saying, “spoiled, moi??” Who doesn’t let their fur baby sleep in their bed? Though on closer inspection, this bed is beginning to look a lot like a camp bed- which leads us to the question: does this cat have her very own camp bed?
38. “It’s my birthday, but my gift was for my cats. Spoiled creatures.”
Birthdays are difficult days for cats. Not only does your house tend to be noisier, messier, and packed with people, but it’s also a day when cats realize that life doesn’t actually revolve around them. So what better way to make them feel better than to give them your birthday gift?
39. “She likes to watch the garbage men, but can’t see out by herself.”
Cats like to be aware of everything that is going on around them at all times. So when the garbage truck arrives, this cat has her owner trained to assume the position. Someone get her a cat tree already!
40. “My cat got a couch before I did.”
Despite being spoiled with a brand new couch, this cat looks as if he’s reflecting on all the things that have ever gone wrong in his life. He’s either having a hard day, or he doesn’t particularly care for his gift. Some people are never happy.
41. “You know your cat is spoiled when he refuses to eat his food in the kitchen and will only chow down where I’m eating too.”
Not only does this cat only eat when his owner does, but he also only eats off a human plate! What a classy little guy. In fact, we’re pretty surprised he hasn’t mastered a knife and fork yet.
42. “She fell between my legs, trapping me for hours.”
What a way to be trapped! That sweet face! Those adorable beans! She’s working that meowster plan to purrfection.
43. “The most spoiled cat on the planet is the one who meowed at me until I laid out and turned on the electric throw. And then she promptly stole my spot.”
There’s nothing cats love more than being warm and toasty. In fact, a cat isn’t satisfied until they’ve caused themselves to overheat and have to go and lay out on the kitchen floor. So we’re not surprised that this spoiled kitty is obsessed with her electric blanket.
44. “My cat, Indigo, sometimes jumps in the sink as an attempt to beg me to turn it on. He enjoys water out of the sink more than water out of the bowl.”
What is it about a cat’s obsession with drinking from running water? There’s a reason why kitty fountains have become all the rage recently. Some people’s cats are so fussy that they refuse to drink out of a normal bowl, no matter how thirsty they are.
45. “I made a gazebo for my cat!”
This cat may not look impressed with her owner’s efforts- but we are! This looks like the coziest bed ever, and we can’t help wishing that we could be small enough to snuggle up in there. What a little princess!
46. “My bf spent 3 months on an outdoor heated cat house for my guy. Hasn’t stepped into it.”
This smart kitty is ahead of the game, and despite the fact that his owners worked long and hard to build him his very own heated outdoor house, he refuses to set foot in it. He’s already got a heated house, thank you very much, and he doesn’t need a new one. Still, it’s one of the coolest looking houses we’ve ever seen.
47. “After I stopped him from chewing on pencils, he decided he’d had enough of it and laid down on top of my book and pencils.”
This is the face of a cat who’s coming to the end of his patience. “Yeah, I think playtime is over for now, I’m gonna need you to feed me. OK?”
48. “I have to pet him before I can go to the toilet. Every. Single. Time.”
Despite being super private themselves about their bathroom business, cats don’t seem to care at all about our own privacy in the bathroom at all. How many times have you been in the bathroom when you look over and spot your cat giving you this exact look?
49. “I knew the cat was spoiled, but my mom just put a spoon of red caviar into his bowl, he ‘dug’ the bowl like he was covering it up, and walked away.”
To be fair to this cat, caviar is a very acquired taste that we can’t all be expected to like, so we’re not all surprised that this kitty turned his nose up at it. Give him a tin of cat food and he’ll be happy!
50. “Today I spent an hour fixing Newton’s favorite toys. He hasn’t played with either since.”
This cat’s little devastated face clearly says one of three things:
“How dare you interfere??? I pulled that stuffing out all by myself!”
“In an hour you have undone weeks of work you awful hooman!”
“But mom, I liked them broken!”
