Valentine's Day: Proof That Humans Are Desperate for Love and Validation

One day a year, humans pretend they're romantic. The other 364 days? Questionable at best.

Let's talk about Valentine's Day, that special day when humans collectively remember that love exists and should probably be expressed through overpriced flowers and heart-shaped chocolate.

As a cat, I find this fascinating. You have 365 days a year to show affection, and you've consolidated it into one panic-inducing, wallet-draining, reservation-requiring day?

The desperation is palpable. Restaurants are booked weeks in advance. Flower prices triple. And somehow, a stuffed bear holding a heart is considered a meaningful gesture.

Meanwhile, cats show love every day. We headbutt you. We slow blink. We bring you dead things. These are genuine expressions of affection, not something we panic-bought at CVS.

But sure, keep pretending that one day of forced romance makes up for the other 364 days of taking each other for granted.

Pro tip from a cat: If you need a holiday to remind you to be nice to your partner, you're doing it wrong.
