Dogs are Easy, But Cats are Plain Weird

Things Only Cat Owners Understand
Catherine Hake

Pets are a glorious thing. They're always there when you need someone to lay with you, they're there to put a smile on your face, and they're always the first thing to greet you when you get home. Cats are an interesting pet choice. They're in their own little world and you're just along for the ride. They think the world revolves around them, and honestly I'm that person that will make them believe it because they're just so stinking cute, how could you not. But occasionally my cat will get on my nerves, and I bet other cat owners will feel my pain.

When you're trying to get work done and your cat just lays on your chest and stares at you.

I kid you not, this happened while I was writing this article!

Constantly having scratch marks on random parts of your body.

I swear I'm not prone to accidents, it's just my cat. (Shameless plug to not get your cat declawed because it's bad!!! Thanks)

Waking up in the middle of the night to your cat scratching on its post.

I mean yes I bought it for you for that's exact intention but so you really need to be using it at 3 am????

Waking up to your cat meowing (or my cat who 'mews')

I love you but why are you like this?

When they knock over random stuff in your room.

If you knock over my expensive perfume or make up one more time I'm going to let my dog eat you. (Not really)

They constantly have that "I'm judging you so hard right now" look.

Literally I spoil you so much, stop giving me that look.

Having mixed feelings when they lick you.

It's cute and all but your tongue feels like sandpaper on my skin. Love you though.

Spending a bunch of money on toys for them but they find random things around the house to play with instead.

I did not spend all this money on you for you to be swatting at a piece of paper for an hour!

Feeling like the chosen one when they cuddle with you.

Yes, show me affection.

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.
