Your windowsill is a hair-collecting basin, your wrist is perma-scratched, and the bathroom has a strange odor that never fully goes away. What could possibly be the cause for this assortment of oddities? All signs point to one thing: cats. Maybe lots of cats. Whether you have one or many four-legged furballs in your home, there's no mistaking the telltale signs. And it's not just balls of catnip and claw marks on the curtains. Kitties bestow furry tails brushing against our legs, warm purrs on our laps and years of happiness in our hearts. Click through to see more of the signs you've got a feline in your life.

Still better than having dogs. Talk about stink!
The litter they have today is excellent. I have a cat door to the garage though, so I don't have dog smell or litter boxes in my house. When I did, they didn't smell because I cleaned them as required.

“....There was no destruction and no smell. It is all in how you handle the little fur-balls.”

Absolutely. We’ve had many cats, and dogs for that matter over the past 35 years we’ve been married. It’s a matter of developing a regimine for proper upkeep. It’s easy once established, and nobody could tell the place has seen as many of them as have been.

The bathroom? I've always found that with cat owners, you pretty much smell "cat" upon entering their house, and it follows you all around.

[Fawn]

It means you need some zyrtec.

[Last Dakotan]

You are just immune to the smell.

[Fawn]

No, I’m not. That’s why I change litter boxes as required. I get instantly nauseated walking in a dog persons home....so I am not immune to any smells.

"And not to forget the hairballs in one’s throat."

Dude, you're supposed to let the cats lick themselves.

My blinds really do look like this:

My kitty is a blind destroyer too.

I csn always replace blinds. I can’t replace kitties.

“What does it mean when cats make your eyes itchy and watery, you cough and your nose run a lot....”

Depends. If they are your cats it means it’s time for benadryl. If they are her cats it means it’s time to get rid of the cats.

23 signs that you're a cat person and proud of it

The biggest sign is an aversion to trailing behind an animal, picking up it's feces. I love dogs, as long as someone else takes care of them. Cats - I throw out their litter once a week, pour some more in - they're happy, I'm happy, life goes on. I like low maintenance pets, and dogs - while many other wonderful things - are not low maintenance.

AdBlock Plus (free) works a treat for solving that problem.

>> A laser pointer, 6 pack of Heineken and a Giants game and I was entertained

How exactly did the Giants game figure into that entertainment equation? The rest of it I get.

[NEMDF]

San Francisco Giants, right?

[Riley]

I’m with you, except that I could live without the 3AM Thunderpaws Invitational.

LOL! Is that anything like NASCAT?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Have you watched the Giants this season? it doesn’t get more entertaining than that. Unless of course you are a Giants fan.

Family had a male gray cat when we were kids and he acted just like a person.

Except when he went out mice hunting and would bring them back alive to toy with, then finally bite off their heads.

He used to poke my mom’s head for a snack and she finally bought a water pistal to stop that,

Brother taught him to bang on piano for food (at 6am)

Really Liked that cat

[SgtHooper]

Bingo! Cat and dog lover here, but dog-owner houses are clearly noticeable by smell.

I loved the last Giants game -— What was the score? Oh yes, Chiefs 31, Giants 7.
