I Think He Is Having an Existential Crisis.

Is My Cat Having an Existential Crisis?

Every cat owner knows that look. The thousand-yard stare out the window. The sudden pause mid-grooming as if questioning the very nature of tongue baths. The way they dramatically flop onto their side after realizing the red dot can never be caught. These may be signs your feline friend is grappling with life’s big questions.

While we can’t know exactly what goes on in those fuzzy little heads, we can offer comfort. Extra chin scratches, premium treats, and new cardboard boxes to contemplate in might help. Remember, even if your cat seems to be doubting their place in the universe, their place in your heart is certain. The next time you catch your kitty gazing pensively at a wall, just know they’re probably working through some profound feline philosophy between naps.
