11 Things That Happen When You Become the Cat Lady

I will never be ashamed of loving my cats.

11 Things That Happen When You Become the Cat Lady
Emma Everett

I've been a cat lover my whole life. I used to dress up my two cats and put them into baby strollers when I was eight and my love for them has escalated from there. Now I'm a full-blown cat lady with two cats who I devote most of my time to loving. These are the things I noticed about myself that isn't normal for people who don't love cats.

1. Anytime you meet someone new, all you talk about is your cat.

Any conversation always goes to funny stories about my cats, I know I'm doing it and I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.

2. Most of your storage space on your phone is taken up by pictures of your cat.

I have so many pictures of my cats I had to upgrade my phone to have more storage space. There are way too many blurry pictures of them that I can't delete.

3. You create vivid stories of what your cat does when it's not with you.

I think my cats are Russian spies who travel through time to stop disasters that happened in the past, but that's just me. To be honest, they're probably just asleep someplace when they aren't with me but I have a good imagination.

4. You speak to them as if they can respond to your questions.

"Should I have toast or cereal today Fluffy?" This question usually gets me a blank stare.

5. To you, their meows are responses to whatever you're saying to them.

"Now, I think I should go with the black shoes, thoughts Fluffy?" "Meow." "You are right, the black are more versatile."

6. You can't close them out of any room because you feel so bad.

I call my boyfriend in to take them out of my room because I feel so bad about closing the door on them.

7. Anytime they sit on your lap you feel honored.

You picked me? Really me? It's such a privilege to have you purring on my lap, I want to thank all the cats for believing in me for a good head scratch.

8. Everything they do seems precious to you.

Even when my cat is laying on the back of my couch like usual, I think she is a precious, little angel that cannot possibly belong on Earth.

9. Anytime you leave for a vacation it is heartbreaking to you.

I have to find both cats who are then subjected to a teary goodbye from me, complete with multiple hugs and kisses.

10. You consider buying them a pet stroller or cat backpack everyday.

Would they like it? Definitely not but they would look so cute while I run errands with them in my backpack.

11. You love them more than your human friends.

Is it right? No, but my kitties will always be in a special place in my heart. Sorry friends.

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.
