What Happens When You Get A Cat

Endless treats and spilled food.

What Happens When You Get A Cat
Jillian St. Pierre

A lot of people share videos on Facebook about kittens and puppies and how badly they want them, but they forget what actually goes in to owning an animal. Almost two months ago my best friend got a kitten, Brady, and I became a kitty auntie, and a lot happens when you get a kitten, good...and bad.

Kittens are hyper. They sleep a lot but when they're awake, prepare yourself. They'll bite, scratch and jump on ANYTHING, including my bunnies cage (she likes him). They love to play, even if it's at 5 a.m. and you have to be up for work in an hour. With all that hyper activity comes hunger, and kittens eat soooo much. My best friend will feed Brady and two minutes later all his food is gone and he's crying for more. Be ready to spend a lot of money on food and treats..and litter (yuck, kitten poop).

Brady gets into EVERYTHING. The Christmas tree, the bags from the groceries, Chegg boxes, your clothes, anything, and he makes sure you know. He chews and runs and tries to get your attention. It took him a good two weeks to use his scratching post instead of my grandfathers chair. But, with all that craziness comes a whole lot of love. Brady is such a love, he kisses, cuddles on your chest and sleeps in your arms. And once you get a look at that precious face, it makes all the torn bags and stressful times worth it. He may be crazy, but he's a lovebug.

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.
