11 Reasons Why Cats Are Awesome
Jamie Corbett

The world's greatest debate:cats or dogs? Being the lover of animals I am, this is a particularly hard question, but growing up with a cat as amazing as mine I have evolved into a Cat Lady. Here are a few reasons why I think cats are awesome.

1. They pick you.

Sure, you can adopt a dog and of course they're going to love you. But you don't adopt a cat. I mean technically you can, but there's a good chance they can hate you. Cats are actually adopting us, and if you don't understand what I mean, then well, you must not own a cat yet.

2. Toe beans!

Have you seen their feet? Their toes look like jelly beans, and they're so cute, and I can't explain so just look at this giph.

3. Soft and furry.

Petting a cat is like petting a cloud or a silk blanket. They're so soft and cozy, and cat cuddles are probably one of the best things in the world.

4. Always down for a nap.

Don't like napping alone? Worry no more! Cats sleep 12-16 hours a day, so they're always down for a good snooze.

5. Cat memes.

Some of the best memes are cats. Grumpy Cat, the Pusheen Cat (okay yeah I know, not a meme but still).

6. Cat Cuddles.

My favorite past time is cuddling with my cat. Nothing says love and companionship better than a lovely cat cuddle.

7. Head butts.

Some people don't like when dogs lick them, well no worries because cats just head butt you to give you a 'kiss'.

8. Laser Chasing.

Okay, seriously, what is cuter than a furry kitty chasing around the dot of a laser pointer? Nothing. Nothing at all.

9. Halloween Everyday.

Owning a black cat makes it feel like Halloween everyday, considering majority of witches own black cats. I mean seriously, who doesn't love Halloween?

10. Kittens.

Okay cats are great, and wonderful and cute, but baby cats are even more so. The furry little balls of energy are the best at playing games and are the cutest things to watch take naps, eat, stretch, basically anything really.

11. Purring.

An actual way you can tell if your cat is happy, but also one of the most magical things that can happen to a cat owner. I love the feeling and sound of a roaring purr, because the more they purr the happier they are and the happier they are the more they love you.

12. Feet pounding.

I love being used as a bed for my cat, especially when she does the adorable foot pounding thing to get comfortable.

Just as Stuart McMillan said, "A meow massages the heart." Cats are intelligent, independent, affectionate, funny, caring, and adorable creatures.

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.
