Do cats secretly think they own the house?

NexionSEO · Jun 9, 2026

You do everything for them. You buy the food for the cats you pay all the bills you clean the litter box for the cats. Still the cats judge you. My cat does not want to talk to me all day. Then at 3 AM the cat decides it is the perfect time to annoy me in my sleep. The cat gets on my stomach and starts purring loudly so I wake up.

If you have a cat what is the silliest thing your cat does that makes you wonder who is really, in charge of the house the cat or you?

They own you, as the house owner, and the house is grandfathered through that. Simple.

looking eyebrow-raising-y at my 2 cats but they couldn't care less about my silent inquiry. So the answer is YES, they do own the house

They definitely know they are in charge of the house and we are the staff. The weirdest thing mine does is take over the laptop. He just lies on the laptop while I try to do work. He is so heavy that when I try to nudge him, I can't get him to move. I try to work as best as I can while he snores like a pig.

hahaah . For me, cats are the masters.

There's nothing "secret" about it. Cats used to be worshiped as gods, and my cats never forgot.

My cousin moved in to a new space, and because his cat was shy of new faces from the neighborhood who came to welcome him in the new house, while offloading, she hid in the engine of the vehicle that carried loads of books belonging to my cousin, nobody thought of it imaginable how she squeezed in there.

This is exactly why I'm a dog person.

Don't get me wrong, cats are cool in their own way, but I need something that's actually happy to see me when I get home.

I pay the mortgage on behalf of my overlords.

Fun fact, my cats participate in team meetings on a pretty regular basis.

I have also received several messages over the years from Petra's cats taking residence on her keyboard.

Mine waits until I’m deep asleep, then headbutts my face at full speed and yells for food like I’ve been starving him for weeks
