9 Things My Cats Do That Make Me Feel Like The Luckiest Cat-Mom In The World

Ashley Lytle

While volunteering last spring my boyfriend and I met Maple. A five-month-old calico kitten who stole our hearts. Soon she was living in our home. After a few months, we decided she deserved a friend to keep her company when we couldn't be home and so we began visiting the local shelter that we got Maple from. Soon we met 10-week-old Juniper and we knew she was the kitten to join our family. It wasn't the easiest beginning but with a lot of patience and time, we eventually let them both roam the apartment freely. Now, they're like sisters who are best friends and we couldn't imagine our lives without both of them.

They're amazing and make me feel extremely blessed. Here are 9 examples of how they make me feel as if I am the luckiest cat mom in the world:

1. They’re always waiting for me to come home

It's like they have this sixth sense telling them when I'll be walking towards the door because they're always there waiting for me at the window. When I'm home I notice my cats always start moving to the window minutes before my boyfriend comes walking up after getting off work.

2. My youngest groomed my boyfriend’s head

My youngest kitten is five months old and she spent about 10 minutes the other night licking my boyfriends head a day after he got his new haircut. While it was definitely a bit strange it was also adorable and made me think about how lucky we are to have her in our lives.

3. Endless cuddle time

Giphy

Juniper is five months old and she LOVES to cuddle. And I can't say no. One, she wouldn't let me but also, I wouldn't want to say no to her.

4. They always make me laugh

Maple and Juniper are funny. They get in the weirdest most uncomfortable positions to sleep, flip over while running, and have all these funny characteristics about themselves that I love.

5. They can always put a smile on my face even when I’m at rock bottom

Maple and Juniper might not be able to talk but they are always there for me. They comfort me and motivate me to keep trying.

6. They cuddle together

It's one of the most adorable sites I have ever seen. There's nothing like looking over to see them snuggled together sleeping.

7. They’re always by my side

I never feel alone because my kittens never let me be. Even when I'm in the shower.

8. They keep me safe from the scariest of bugs

Giphy

I'm not a spider person or an insect of any kind person. My cats luckily not only alert me to the intruders but they also take care of them.

9. I always have something to do on a Saturday night

No plans, no problem because with cats they are your 24/7 plans. I'm pretty sure if my cats could choose I'd never leave without them. And honestly that idea sounds pretty tempting to me.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
