14 Reasons Cats Are Better Than Dogs
Savannah Ratay

The debate between cats and dogs has been around for way too long. Let's all be honest with ourselves, cats are a lot better.

1. The solution to any problem is probably food.

Is your cat being a little moody or meowing a lot? Give it some food and I guarantee they'll be satisfied.

2. They're the best cuddle buddies.

If you've never experienced a cuddle sesh with a cat, you're really missing out. As long as you keep petting them, they'll be your cuddle buddy for days.

3. They're just as sassy as you.

Whats better than having a pet with the same level of sass as you?? Nothing.

4. They'll sit there with their tongues out and it's the cutest.

Do they even notice their tongue is sticking out?? I freak out every time my cat does this because it's just so adorable.

5. A paper bag can be their favorite toy in the world.

Out of all the toys and treats I've ever gotten for my cat, a Publix paper bag is her favorite thing ever. Whether she's rubbing her face against it, crawling in it, or laying on top of it, it always makes her happy.

6. They won't judge you for sleeping all day

A cat would never judge you for sleeping all day. They'd be right next to you and perfectly happy.

7. Cats are quiet.

You would never be woken up or scared by random barking at nothing with a cat. They won't even move when the doorbell rings.

8. Purring is the best.

I don't know how they do it, but purring is one of the best things about a cat. It just shows you how much they love and appreciate you.

9. You'll have a pest-free house.

I've gotten "gifts" of anything from lizards to rodents from my cat. It's gross but it's the thought that counts.

10. They clean themselves.

Cats really are the easiest pet, they literally clean themselves and are never dirty. Less work for you, more time for cuddles.

11. They also LOVE any kind of container.

Here's another example of how low maintenance cats are. My cat is entertained for days with any type of object that she can sit in or on.

12. You don't have to take them outside.

All of you dog lovers out there have definitely been forced to take your dog outside in some type of hurricane, snow storm, etc, while me, my cat, and her litter box were cozy inside.

13. Cats are cheaper.

Cats eat less and they don't need expensive toys and treats to be perfectly happy. win win

14. They're just overall way cuter.

This is my cat. She's the cutest animal ever and if you disagree, you're wrong.

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.
