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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
