10 Reasons Why Life Is Better As A Cat

Your spirit animal may be a majestic dragon or some fearsome beast, but mine is most definitely a cat. I resonate with cats on a truly spiritual level, and I am fully convinced that life would be better if I had been a cat. Here's why:

1. You get to sleep all day every day.

If you want to sleep, then you sleep. If you don't want to sleep, then you play. If you don't want to sleep or play, then you eat. But mostly you get to sleep all day every day.

2. You get to sleep anywhere you want.

It's no secret that cats get the run of the house. Not only do you get to sleep all day every day if you're a cat, but you also get to sleep anywhere you want. You want to sleep on the back of the couch? Go for it. You want to sleep on your person's face? Go for it. You want to sleep on your person's computer? Go for it. You can sleep anywhere you want.

3. You get to eat as much as you want.

Cats get their food bowl filled whenever they can see the bottom of it or whenever they raise enough hell to get it refilled. If you're lucky your person gives you an automatic feeder, and you can eat and eat until the reservoir is empty.

4. You get to eat whatever you can get your paws on.

Oh, there are some leftovers on the counter? The cat has dibs. Oh, you made yourself a sandwich? Cat has dibs. If the cat can get to it, the cat can have it.

5. The fatter you are, the cuter you are.

In the human world, hearing, "Oh, you're so fat" is an insult, but in the cat world, being fat is ideal. Cuteness in cats, much like cuteness in babies, is actually measured by the amount of chub you possess. The bigger the better.

6. You can be an asshole, and no one gets mad.

If I were to go around knocking stuff off counters and tables at home, my mom would rip me a new one. But what do cat owners do when their fur babies break glasses and shove their keys under the couch? They take videos of it and post it online. If you're a cat, it doesn't matter how much of an asshole you are so long as you look cute while you do it.

7. Everything is a toy.

Cat toys are great, but everything is a toy in the cat world. Bottle caps? Toy. Hair ties? Toy. Shoelaces? Toy. Everything is a toy.

8. Literally everything.

In the cat world, the most fun things to play with are alive. If your person moves a hand or a foot, that means game on. If your person tosses her hair over her shoulder, that means game on. If the baby is crawling around on the floor, that means game on. Nothing is off limits.

9. Cats don't have to go to school.

All cat people wish that we could bring our cats to school, but most of all we envy them because they don't have to go. Cats don't have to read books or solve math problems or write 20-page essays on topics that they don't care about.

10. Or go to work.

Again, while all cat owners wish that they could bring their cats to work, more than that we just wish that we could stay home with our cats instead of going to work. Cats are great at walking all over the keyboard, but that doesn't qualify them to be filing reports and doing business.

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.
