10 Reasons Why It’s Better To Have A Cat Than A Boyfriend
Fully Feline

We've all been in relationships. Some last a few months and some last a few years. Some begin when we are young and others start when we are more mature. Regardless of the timing or duration, many of us know how it feels to have a broken heart. Each relationship teaches a new lesson and with loving comes learning. No matter how difficult the break up or how much love was lost, there is always one "person" I have counted on to help me heal; my cat. Below is a list of how my cat has continuously killed the boyfriend game.

1. "Netflix and Chill" really means "Netflix and Chill."

The most frustrating thing about dating today is the pressure to “hook up” any time you hang out with a guy. If a guy invites you over to “Netflix and Chill,” keep this in mind: there will be no Netflix and there will be no chilling. If you are actually looking for a low-key night, put on your pajamas, grab your cat, and head for the sofa. They love watching Netflix.

2. They’re the best snugglers.

If you have never felt the warm embrace of a purring cat, then you have never lived. While you may be forced to be the big spoon this time, it is definitely worth it. Mix things up a bit.

3. They don't talk back.

This is one of my favorite reasons. Imagine how amazing it would be to talk to someone without any negative response. Blissful.

4. They're never busy.

Don’t ever worry about fitting your cat into your busy schedule, because he will always be available. Rough day at work? Head home, he’s waiting. Failed a math test? Head home, he’s waiting. Broke up with your boyfriend? Adopt a cat, then head home, because he’s waiting.

5. They will always make you laugh.

If your cat doesn’t make you laugh, that’s okay. Just look up funny videos ofcats and have those make you laugh. How could you not be happy?

6. They're great listeners.

You would be surprised how rejuvenating it is to vent about your daily troubles to a sleeping blob on the couch. Even when they try to leave, just lock them in the room and keep going. 10/10 recommend as a stress reliever. Just ignore their blank stare, I swear they understand.

7. They're loyal.

Your cat will not be texting other girls if you decide not to go out. Don’t even stress it! Mr. Whiskers will climb in bed with you while you eat Chinese food out of a cardboard box and lick the tears off your face. Get ready to adopt your biggest fan.

8. They won't eat your food.

Okay now this one might be stretching it. Cats are almost as bad at begging as dogs are. But the plus for this one is that they will look ten times cuter eating your food than your ex boyfriend ever did!

9. They don't care if you haven't shaved.

Ladies, do I even need to explain this one? The most annoying thing about having a boyfriend is constantly having to be prepped, pampered, and ready to rumble at any minute of the day. The most glorious thing about a cat is that they are just as hairy as you are! Embrace your furry side with your even furrier friend.

10. They're just as cute!!!

Cats are the most adorable thing on the planet. They're warm, soft, furry, and will always make you happy.

If you haven’t agreed with any of my points yet, you must be a dog person.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
