I love cats. Yes, I'm probably gonna be that "crazy cat lady" one day but that's okay. I've learned to accept it. Each cat has their own personality and I love them. Whoever said that when you talk to your cat that they don't understand you that's a lie; because I think cats do understand us. Cats are cute and cuddly and I sympathize for those people who are allergic to these kitties. Here is a list of 13 things that most cat owners have done (or maybe more specific things to me that I have done with my cats but I wanted to share anyway.)


1. Shown cats their reflection in a mirror and they think is what they see

I used to do this when I was younger, but I still do this to the one cat that will let me pick her up. The other cat I have is too big and she hates being picked up.

2. Tried to hold hands with a cat

Yep, I still do this. Constantly.

3. Lost one cat and asked the other cat where they are

Somehow one cat always finds that one good hiding place in the house and I have no idea where they are.

4. Gazed lovingly at your cats while they're asleep

They're just so cute!

5. Woken up earlier than expected with a cat staring at you

Creepiest thing ever.

6. You've taken so many pictures of your fur babies that your phone storage is almost always full and you think their selfies are hilarious

http://upgradeyourcat.com/why-do-cats-sleep-at-the-foot-of-the-bed/

I have HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of pictures of my cats on my phone.

7. You've woken up with a cat on your head before

Sometimes this happens.

8. You're okay with some love scratches and bites

https://www.catster.com/lifestyle/how-to-treat-cat-bites-puncture-wounds

Cats love to bite and scratch, I think that they think that it's a form of affection and they don't know that they're hurting you.

9. You can have cats or plants but not both

Cats love plants!

10. Turn on the sink water for your cat to drink out of

Cats love running water but won't drink water out of a bowl for some reason.

11. Feeding your cat a little bit of human food because they look so cute eating it

http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/survey-results-which-human-foods-do-veterinary-professionals-feed-their-cats

Oh how they love to beg for food that they know that they're not supposed to eat.

12. Saying "bless you" when they sneeze

https://www.buzzfeed.com/katangus/21-cats-caught-mid-sneeze-who-will-make-you-say-god-bless-yo

*Cat sneeze

13. Putting catnip on everything to your cats go crazy

https://scienceline.org/2018/03/cats-get-high-off-catnip-cant/

Me: Look what I got for you! It's catnip! You love catnip! *opens bag

Cat: MEOW!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
