I Treat My Cat As An Actual Person — It's OK You Can Judge Me

He has intensely watched "How to Get Away With Murder" with me, but don't worry I don't think he will take what he has learned and apply it.

I Treat My Cat As An Actual Person — It's OK You Can Judge Me
Casey Whoolery-Pratt

Y'all can judge me all you want, but my cat is my best friend. If anyone understands my struggles and when I'm sad it's him. He doesn't even need to say anything to make me feel better. So, yes, I consider my cat to be a human alongside me and I'm not embarrassed. There are just a few activities that he and I do together that makes us the best team in town, here they are:

He and I love to eat popcorn, chips, cheese, and french fries together after a long day of stress. Before all you animal fanatics hop on here and say anything bad about feeding my cat human food, yall can take a chill pill because he only gets a small fraction of the piece I am eating.

He loves binging Netflix shows until the early morning hours on a weekday with me, too. The best part is, he won't (can't) yell at me that sleep is more important. He has intensely watched How to Get Away With Murder from start to finish, but don't worry I don't think he will take what he has learned and apply it.

He is a great personal alarm clock. It will be 6 in the morning and he will come to lay on my face to suffocate me in order to get me up. Is it frustrating? Yes. Do I care that he does this? Yes. Does he care that he does this? Clearly not.

He is the best kind of friendship to have too because I can talk about my problems and he will just listen and not tell me that I am wrong. I love this part. He may be judging me, but he doesn't tell me he is.

Needless to say, this post makes me seem like a crazy cat lady, but in reality, I just appreciate having a cat because he is the only one that puts up with my venting. Quite honestly, I am 100% okay with that.

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.
