An Open Letter To The Family, Love The Cat

All you hear is meows, but it means so much more than that.

To the humans I call family,

When you all adopted me I was so excited to get out of that little foster bathroom. I know it took me a bit to get familiar with the other kitties you had and it was a bit of a rocky start because I still loved to be in the bathroom (even when you were going potty) but I couldn't ask for a better family to call my own. With that being said, I'd like to remind you of a couple of things.

Though you may think this is your humble abode, I have declared myself the alpha cat, therefore this is my house. My rules, got it? I like to sleep with you, and when you keep the doors shut I can't do that. So, I will scratch at the door and meow as loud as I can. Until you let me in of course. Unless I am hungry, then you get a few more meows.

I like pats. You know that. When you pat me don't stop even when I "army crawl" away. Whatever that means.

Let me be outside. I like outside. Open a door and let me outside. I will come back, I promise. I mean, I like food (A LOT) and you feed me. Of course I would come back.

When I sit with you, you need to move so I can fit. I will not move, I just like your warmth.

Did I mention I like food? So give me snacks. I like snacks.

I like to sleep, so do not touch me when I'm sleeping. I need my sleep.

You know I like to lay in the sun, I would greatly appreciate it if you left some of the windows open by the cat trees so I can be up high and rest in the sun.

On second thought, you can touch me when I sleep. I like the attention and pats.

It's not too fun to vomit all the time. Maybe if you would brush me more I wouldn't throw up as often and you won't have to clean it up as much.

I do not enjoy it when you bring out my worst enemy... Mr. Vacuum. Please tell him to keep the dust around. I like the mess, and I prefer it with the youngest human's clothes on the ground. I like her smells.

Lastly and most importantly, love me. I know I am not perfect, and you humans are most certainly not perfect either. I love you with all my heart and soul. I am happy to live my life here with you four humans and my older sister. With all of the rules I have for you humans, love is the biggest, most important thing in the whole entire world.

I may find more rules later on, but I am sure you will hear me meowing "I want" every once and a while and will know what to do.

Love, Cat

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.
