A Dedication To My Cats

Call me a cat lady.

A Dedication To My Cats

I apologize if this is too much for you dog lovers out there.

These precious little fluff balls that we all love to cuddle aren’t just pets. We quickly fall in love with them, as they shortly become part of the family. They are remarkable loving creatures; so smart and empathetic. As caregivers, we work hard for their approval, so it’s just as rewarding when they show their love back to us.

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE CATS. There is a possibility if I am single by the age of 40, I will become a cat lady and be a mother to several adorable furry kittens. It’s not very surprising that I take a huge liking to these felines as I’ve been born into a cat owning family.

I’ve only owned two cats in my entire life and one of them, Henley, has been with me since birth. My other cat, Fritz, came later to the family after she gave birth to a litter of kittens and mothered them.

Sadly this year, both Henley and Fritz passed away, as they lived to be 19 and 21! To remind others that cats are incredible creatures, there doesn’t have to be a competition over which animal is better: cats or

dogs? Because all animals are amazing and love off of love. Below are the wonderful memories of what my cats shared to me, as my final goodbye to them

When Your Cats Troll Your Living Space

Ignore how my room happens to be messy in both photos, at different times. Even though these furry monsters happen to hog the most important areas of my room, it's hard to get mad at these adorable faces.

When Your Cat Is Your Childhood Dress Up Doll

To the seasonal Santa hat to the bunny ears, these cats been through it all. I don't even know what my cat is supposed to be on the top. But this cat was a trooper! He never put up a fight and always had a smile that said "why me" in every photo I took.

When You Question Your Cat Is Even A Cat

Every cat has their quirks. Mine happen to be going to the bathroom standing up and sticking out her tongue whenever her back gets scratched. These were some of the most unique and humanistic cats I've ever experienced.

They Never Seize To Amaze Me


I never understood why my cat enjoyed drinking from the waterfall than the bowl or how my cat was able to sneak by me while prepping for Easter and make a bed for herself in the basket. Cats are truly smart creatures.

I will forever miss these little guys but I'm happy to say I have no regrets with them; they lived long and happy lives. For anyone who is thinking about getting a cat, DO IT! They are the best furry companions you will ever have.

Rest In Peace, Henley and Fritz.

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.
