Weird Cats You Secretly Want

Awhile back, I wrote an article called "Exotic Cats You Probably Didn't Know Existed", this is the second edition about "Weird Cats You Secretly Want." A lot of people don't realize there is an abundance of cat breeds out there besides the standard Tabby and Calico. Here is a list of all the other cats out there that are uncommon and would be considered weird an unusual to many cat owners.

Sphynx


First off on this list is of course, the infamous hairless cat. Many people have mixed feelings about these silly critters, but I think they're absolutely adorable. To many they look like alien cats.


Cornish & Devon Rex





These are 2 different cat breeds that I lumped together because they are very similar looking. They look like Sphynx cats with a little bit more hair.


Munchkin

These cute little stubby munchkin is absolutely adorable. They have short little legs and stay tiny and petite forever. These are probably the most popular weird cat.


American Curl

These cats are named after their unique ears. These cats are absolutely adorable and the curling of the ear occurs from a gene mutation.


Turkish Angora

These stunning cats are white and usually have 2 different colored eyes like pictured above. They are considered an ancient cat and are closely related to the Persian.


Manx

These cats are unique because they have little to no tail! Their lack of a tail also occurs from a gene mutation. These cats are not super common but are still extremely cute.


Scottish Fold

Another cat with adorable ears. Like their name, the ears of this cat are folded over, making them look sweet and precious constantly. Most of us have probably seen pictures of them over the Internet. These cats have a cartilage mutation that causes their ears to bend over.

Japanese Bobtail

Just like the Manx, the Japanese Bobtail is another cat with an incomplete tail, however, their tail is more pronounced than the Manx' tall. Thus, giving them the name "bobtail". Their tail is better described as a bunny tail.


Now that you've seen these adorable cats, you won't be able to un-see all their cuteness. Many of these cats you have to get from breeders, just like exotic cats. However, it's worth it. Many people would consider some of these cats ugly, but every cat needs some love.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
