Being a cat mom to my kitty kid has made my life so much better. Dogs are okay, but I will always choose cats over them. (Except the cats without hair, because that's just weird.) Don't get me wrong, it's not that I hate people, I just don't like dealing with most of them. Coming home to a fur-ever friend makes it all worthwhile.

1) He doesn't talk.

Aside from the typical meowing, we don't chat too much. That means I don't have to hear ignorant/annoying/rude comments. Voting for Hillary or Trump? Neither, because he can't vote! It's beautiful.

2) He's always down for naps.

Being a college student means that naps are my life. What could be better than climbing into your bed and cuddling up with a fuzzy little ball of warmth? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

3) He's an independent white kitty who doesn't need a (hu)man.

My cat isn't going to hang around you if he doesn't like you. He'll walk away carelessly or go outside to harass the neighborhood squirrels. We know we can leave him alone for hours at a time and he'll entertain himself.

4) I can use Snapchat filters on his face without being called out.

You can't just go up to a random person and take pictures of their face, even if you know them. The person will definitely think you're insane and might actually tell you that. My cat doesn't really care. He has no girl cat to impress since I got him fixed.

5) He's literally the cutest.

One of my favorite things is watching him sleep, because his mouth does the little kitty smile thing and it melts my ice-cold heart.

6) He lets me dress him up... sometimes.

When someone says they don't like cats, I just wonder to myself if they've ever seen a cat dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Also, you're welcome.

7) He likes food as much as I do.

I will never be judged by my cat for eating at one in the morning, as long as I break off pieces for him too. So basically, he's helping me avoid weight gain by portion control.
