15 Ways Cats Tell You That You're Purrfect For Them

Most people think that cats are aloof creatures that show no affection but this isn't true.

Most people make out cats to be lazy creatures that just want to be left alone and don't care at all for their human family. This perception isn't the truth because cats have their own special ways of showing love. Here are some things that I've noticed my cat and many other cats do to show their trust and love towards their humans.

1. Bringing Presents

For indoor cats (like my own) this means bringing their favorite toys to you or for outdoor cats this means bringing you their hunt (possibly mice and birds).

2. Bunting

This is when cats rub their head against you in order to show that they are comfortable with you and want to claim you as their special human.

3. Slowly Blinking At You

This can also be reciprocated so try to slow blink back at your kitty when they do it to you!

4. Kneading You

5. Purring

6. Rolling On The Floor In Front Of You

This is one of the cutest ways in my opinion of how a cat shows they trust you.

7. Flicking Their Tails Up

8. Rubbing

9. Showing Their Tummy

10. Grooming You

Although most people wont be a fan of this, when a cat chooses to groom you, it comes from a place of love because they want to make sure their human is clean, or at least as clean as them.

11. Meowing At You

12. Gently Biting

13. Sleeping On You

If they choose your lap out of all of the possible comfy sleeping areas, that's saying something.

14. Following You

15. Wanting To Play With You

Taking time to actively play with your cat everyday strengthens the bond between cat and human as well as keeps them happy and in shape.

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.

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.
