11 Things Cat Owners Say

If you have ever owned a cat, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.

We love our cats! They're adorable, lovable, and great to have around the house. Of course, having a cat can come at a price (and not just the one at the shelter or pet store). As someone who owns four, I know a lot of these struggles. If you own any cats, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.


1. "Where did this hair come from?"

It doesn't matter how many times you wash it or how often you use a lint roller; there is always still fur in your clothing. You can keep telling yourself that one day it'll go away, but you might as well just begin to accept it.

2. "I promise I feed/pet them regularly!"

Having company over or a housemate come home can be a great opportunity for your cat to howl and act like you never give it the attention it deserves. We know you just fed them ten minutes ago and pet them every chance you get, but your cat makes a strong argument otherwise.

3. "Why did I even bother buying you a bed?"

If there is one thing cats love, it's sleeping everywhere and anywhere... Unless it is the pet bed that you spent a lot of time picking out on Amazon. Honestly, they'll probably just sleep in the box it came in.

4. "How did you even get there?!"

Cats are the masterminds of finding weird places to perch and sleep. Getting in the sink? Easy! Somehow getting on the neighbor's roof? Not a problem! Jumping onto the couch? Well... let's not talk about that one.

5. "Do I smell okay?"

Going out in public is always a risk. Here's to another day hoping you don't smell overwhelmingly like your cat or its litterbox.

6. "This isn't for you!"

Their food and water bowls may be freshly filled, but that food you just sat down with looks ten times better. How can you say no to that face? Sharing is caring!

7. "Looks like I'm stuck..."

Aww, how cute! Your cat fell asleep on you. Too bad you need to get up to go do something. But waking them up would be rude! You can always do it tomorrow...

8. "I'm trying to work here!"

We know you are trying to work on a project or study for that big test tomorrow, but obviously petting your cat this very second is much more important than your income or future. You can try to ignore them, but that might result in them playing with your pencil or laying across your keyboard and papers.

9. "Get your butt out of my face!"

Yes, kitty, you have a nice butt... now can you please not stick it right in my face?!

10. "Can I get a little privacy?"

When your cat wants attention, you better stop everything and do it. Part of this means never getting to close doors without hearing desperate claws on it immediately after.

11. "You're lucky I love you..."

Cats get themselves into a lot of trouble, but we still love them. Those quiet bonding moments or playtimes all make it worth it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
