1.  I'm admittedly one of those people that do not make use of several abbreviations when I text. Mayhaps it's because I'm a writer. It only feels wrong to shorten perfect words, you know?
2.  My teenage kids are all about reducing standard texting terms, however. My kid became my consultant in writing this one.
3.  I'm an aesthetic individual, and I frequently visualize what these abbreviations would look like if people - or in this situation, cats - were demonstrating them.
4.  Below are (actually amusing) pictures of 8 typical texting abbreviations, as shown off by cats!
5.  1. ROFL (rolling on the flooring laughing).

7.  This one is confusing because I can envision a person resting stoically on the sofa texting a "ROFL" reply. I'm pretty sure no one rolls around on the floor laughing. It's a hysterical aesthetic, though. When I ROFL'd, I made my child document it. (will not be posting pictures, though!) I looked equally as fantastically ridiculous as I would certainly imagine. As well as my son was alarmed. Cats, nevertheless, can pull off an actual ROFL.
8.  2. BRB (be right back).
9.  BRB is made use of when one texting needs to step away for a few mins. My children claim they use this one regularly. Cats get so distracted and would probably wind up identifying an insect and return to the message discussion for an hour. BRB would become BBS (Be Back Sometime).
10.  3. BTW (by the way).
11.  This is one I do make use of every so often. Why is that, I wonder? Is "by the way" truly that lengthy to type in? It's just five added characters. I imagine felines would have a smug air about them when typing that abbreviation. Like, "BTW, this food is crap."
12.  4. TYVM (thank you very much)
13.  Gratitude is a vital expression, and I use this one very often as well.
14.  Although unresponsive much of the moment, cats do appreciate a good chin rub and, of course, a few catnips spray from time to time. I want one more mug of coffee, TYVM.
15.  5. TMI (too much information).
16.  Some individuals are generous with overly personal as well as vivid information during conversations. I'm not troubled by gross details of info, so TMI isn't something I would need. It takes a whole lot to annoy me. Others end up being squeamish when such facts are presented, cover their faces with their paws, and shout TMI! Naturally, felines would require their feet to kind TMI, so they would certainly merely figuratively cover their faces as they typed.
17.  6. TBH (to be honest).
18.  My daughter says this is one she makes use of frequently. Be careful whatever comes after TBH - the truth in some cases harms. BTW, https://kittynook.com/blogs/kittynookcorner live their real-time according to the TBH approach. So the snarky face is the best demo of this acronym.
19.  7. WB (welcome back).
20.  When someone returns from a BRB, they're usually greeted with a WB. Cats like resting by doors to wait for us to return. To them, WB goes together with FM (feed me). I made that up!
21.  8. JK (just kidding!).
22.  The good old' JK! This is also accompanied by a cheesy smile, similar to the cat in the above image. You message something that might freak someone out, and after that, follow up with a light and airy "JK!" "TBH, you're getting a little chubby... JK!" JK always leaves someone questioning if the statement that preceded the abbreviation is real. JK can quickly introduce one into full-blown fear.
