8 Reasons Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs

Most people are obsessed with dogs and completely love them. However, I do not feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I do love running into dogs on the sidewalk and getting to pet them, however, I prefer cats and am much more excited to meet a new one. Maybe it is because I grew up with cats or maybe because of my personality, but whatever the reason, I believe cats are better and here is why.

1. They don't bark

There is nothing more annoying than a dog that won't stop barking. Whether it is a dog you meet walking down the streets or one barking the night away, the noise is extremely annoying. Cats on the other hand occasionally meow, but only when necessary. More importantly, they purr- which is the cutest noise in the world.

2. They are confident

They know they are the greatest animal to walk this planet, and they are not afraid to show it. They strut with such great confidence, as they should.

3. They were worshipped


Clearly, we can learn from the Egyptians. They worshipped cats, and I believe they were onto something. Honestly, I think we should go back to worshipping them too.

4. They are cute

I mean come on, think about Puss in Boots. He is absolutely adorable, and so are cats in general. They are furry, and many of them like to cuddle up with you. They are extra cute when you wrap them up like a little burrito and hold them in your arms.

5. They are content with being left alone

Cats don't need you to give them constant attention like dogs do. They are completely fine with being left home alone to wander the house. They will also leave you alone when you are busy. Yes, they may walk across your keyboard, but if you really need to be left alone you can push them away and they will leave, unlike dogs who keep coming back to bother you.

6. They are sassy

They can give you such an attitude. You can see it in their eyes and in their strut. I have a sassy personality, so I love having an animal that mirrors it.

7. They are easily entertained

You don't need fancy toys and squeaky balls to entertain cats. Cats are content playing with hair ties and sitting in boxes. In fact, it is best not to buy cats toys because they probably won't play with them.

8. Catnip

Sprinkle some on a toy or even on the floor for your cat, and just sit back and watch as they go crazy. It's just super fun watching them roll around on the floor.

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.
