If You Give A Girl A Cat...

You'll regret it immediately.

If You Give A Girl A Cat...
Tabby Hushon

If you give a girl a cat…

She’ll want to name it something cute (or something so ridiculous you cringe but you'll have to smile anyways).

Once she thinks of the name she will want to get a collar & a name tag so everyone knows where its home is.

She will then realize that the cat has nothing to do at home so she will buy unnecessary amounts of toys and treats that the cat won’t ever touch.

Then on the way home she will take 100 pictures of the cat & with the cat.

She will look at the photos and decide that none of them were in good enough lighting. So she will insist that you need to get her home faster so she can get the perfect Instagram picture.

When she gets home with the cat she will let the him “explore on it’s own” meanwhile following it everywhere while talking to the cat in a ridiculously high pitched voice.

She will leave the cat alone for 30 seconds and come back to find it scratching on the carpet. So she will make you go back out with her and buy a large scratching post that the cat will use twice.

While you are out shopping she will see another cat that she can’t resist holding.

Before you know it you are picking out supplies for cat number two and heading home to introduce the new “brothers” even though they aren’t actually related.

When she's back home, one of the cats will knock off a vase so she gets on Amazon to order a new one.

Once she is on Amazon she will see a cat blanket in her "suggested" box. Suddenly she will get the urge to completely redo all of the home decor.

When the UPS drops off boxes and boxes later a few days later you fear what might be in store for your future.

You’ll notice that cat pictures have now replaced all pictures of you two. Her next man crush Monday has already been dedicated to her cats instead of you.

She no longer tweets about the cute things you do for her but updates everyone on the adventures of her cats.

On twitter she will notice there's a new cat shirt at the mall so she'll ask you to take her there.

Once she's at the mall she will see that there's a sale on Vans that have cat faces all over them so she'll have to buy them.

While at the mall you tell her how starving you are so you head to the food court.

But on the way to the food court she will see a picture of a cat which reminds her how much she misses hers. She'll make you take her home immediately to see them.

On the way home she'll notice that you're increasingly grumpy and irritable but doesn't believe you when you try and tell her the cats are taking over her life.

By the time she's done telling you how great her cats are and how wrong you are, she will have broken up with you before you even had the chance to say thank you.

A few years later you might hear a lady arguing with the store owner that he should allow all types of pets in the store.

You peer around the corner and see your ex standing there in a sweater covered in cat hair holding leashes with a handful of cats on the end of them.

She'll see you and wave while saying "see I told you I wouldn't ever become a crazy cat lady".

As she walks away you see her peering into an adoption window cooing at the kittens playing. And if you give a girl a cat... well you know how the rest goes.

Special shoutout to all the fellow cat people out there like me. There's nothing wrong with being in love with cats. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Here's a few of the MANY photos I have of my cats. Proud crazy cat lady in the making (:

Mannie (Machado) is quite the snuggler

Joey really knows how to make himself at home.

But he's also really weird.

(Derek) Jeter tolerates my love for him.

And Nittany (Lion) is just really creepy. (No not my dog, there's actually a cat creeping over my shoulder.)

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.
