Cotton has it figured out. 18-hour nap, 5-minute snack, 6 hours of judging my life choices. That's the dream.

What's YOUR retirement plan? Napping with your cat is a valid answer.

Cotton's job: professional napper, full-time judge, part-time emotional damage.

👇 How many hours did you nap with your cat today? Be honest. Let's start a support group in the comments.

Cotton pays rent in naps and judgment. I pay the mortgage.

How does your cat pay rent? Naps? Zoomies? Screaming at 3am? Tell me below 👇

Cotton said what we were all thinking.

If you survived:
✓ Streetlights as a curfew
✓ Drinking from the hose
✓ "Go play outside and don't come back"
✓ Your mom's wooden spoon as GPS
..you're Gen X. And you're our people.

My thermostat is set to "I pay the bills" and my cat pays rent in naps.

Cotton pays in 17 naps a day. No utilities included. Landlord is tired.

Welcome to my villain origin story. It starts dial-up and ends with me talking to my cat.

We went from skrrrt beep beep AOL to full arguments with our cats. Evolution.

I was raised on benign neglect and sarcasm. Now I pay a cat to judge me. 😹

Cotton's hourly rate: 3 naps, 2 treats, and unblinking judgment.

If you were raised on "go outside until the streetlights come on" and garden hose water, you're our people.

Which one raised you more — neglect or sarcasm? 👇 Be honest.

If you were raised on:

✓ "Go play outside until the streetlights come on"
✓ Garden hose water
✓ "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed"
✓ Being told you were being too sensitive
..and now your cat is your emotional support animal who doesn't support you emotionally — you're home.

Cotton sees you. Cotton judges you. Cotton loves you anyway. Maybe.
