10 Reasons Everyone Needs A Cat

In This Article:

I've had my cat for about five and a half years now. I have truly seen such a difference in how I've changed as a person and how I love animals. Finn has been by my side for when I need a good laugh, or when I'm sad about something and just need something to snuggle with. It also helps that he's adorable in every way.

Having a little animal worship you, be happy to see you when you get home, and love you unconditionally are such great feelings. Finn has opened my eyes to unconditional love and how I look at pets. He is more than "just a cat" to me; he's my first baby and truly a companion that will never hurt me.

So, here are 10 reasons why I think everyone needs a cat at least some point in their lives. There is so much to learn and experience when having a cat in your life.

1. You'll always have a sleeping buddy.

My cat waits for me to come home to go to sleep, and sleeps with me almost every night.

2. All cats are soft!

Who doesn't want a soft, little fur baby following you around and laying around with you all day?

3. They're just as lazy as we are!

Cats spend most of the day sleeping, so they don"t require much movement in order to be around them.

4. They're LOW maintenance animals.

Cats don't require too much work; just a litter box change a few times a week and making sure they always have food and water.

5. You'll know when they're truly happy.

Cats can't control when they purr (that vibrating noise they make), so if they do it around you, they're truly happy to be around you!

6. Sometimes, you can dress them up!

My cat isn't a fan, but some cats like being dressed up! They look super cute, too!

7. Cats are sassy.

My cat is just as sassy as I am, which means there is never a dull moment.

8. Some cats aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

My cat, Finn, isn't always the smartest. So, that keeps me pretty entertained at times.

9. Cats are always around.

They are always there.

10. They teach you unconditional love.

Finn has taught me unconditional love since I got him, and I can't wait to see him grow with me and eventually with my kids.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
