It starts out innocently enough. You adopt a cat (fine, maybe two or three) because they're furry and cute and you just watched that God-forsaken ASPCA commercial for the 90th time and you couldn't help yourself. But you swear you'll never turn into one of them: a cat lady.

Brown bags and empty boxes = cat heaven. You probably have a whole cupboard designated to empty boxes and bags just for your kitties. Totally normal, don't let anyone shame you for this.
