Which cat affirmation fits your feline today? These nine playful lines, drawn from Sarah Thornton’s March 25, 2022, Respect Your Cat Day feature for Best Friends Animal Society, give a humorous voice to the individual cats behind them. They’re for fun, not behavior or veterinary advice—and a good reminder that respecting a cat means noticing what that particular cat enjoys, including how and when they like to be petted.
The original feature was published ahead of Respect Your Cat Day, which it identifies as March 28. Choose the line that sounds most like your cat—or the one you’d like them to say.

9. “My charm is legendary, like my modesty.”
Belle sits in a box, and the joke is to imagine she chose it with full awareness of the impression she’d make.
Keep the joke; respect the cat
These affirmations are affectionate anthropomorphism, not claims about what every cat thinks or needs. Let your cat’s own preferences guide petting and interaction: notice what they welcome, and give them room to disengage. The original feature invites readers to land on the affirmation that speaks to them; its source page notes that the feature is best viewed on a phone and that desktop viewers can pause the video.
