10 Signs You're a Concerned Cat Mom
Self

Many pet owners view their fur babies as members of their family, but some take it one step further. This article is dedicated to those owners who feel my struggle.

1. You worry when they sleep all day.

Some of us cat moms may forget our four-legged children are nocturnal, but it's only because we want to spend as much time with them as possible! "Honey, do you think she's sick?"

"No... She's just nocturnal."


2. You get separation anxiety when you have to leave them to go to class.

And nothing makes you feel like more of a bad cat mom than when you get back and they decide to give you the silent treatment.


3. You check to see if they're still breathing while they're in a deep sleep.

*INSERT PANIC HERE*

Oh wait, they're just sleeping really soundly.


4. Your cat's vet knows you by name because you're always calling them in panic.

Vet: "Oh, I see. So, lemme guess. He swallowed another button?"


5. You can't lie. You've left your cat a voicemail before.

Because we don't want our cat getting lonely, of course. We just want them to know that we're here in spirit!


6. When they look comfy, you definitely don't want to move them--even if you really need to.


7. When your cat isn't feeling well, it's all you can think about.

You just want your little baby to feel better!


8. It doesn't bother you when people call you a "crazy cat lady."

I mean, to you, they're your children.


9. Though hanging out with people is fun, you'd much rather be hanging out with your cat.

What's a Netflix binge session without a cat to lay all over your laptop?


10. Above all, no matter how much money you spend on them, whether it's on toys, food, cat treats, or vet appointments, you don't care because you would do anything for them.

Because they're the best part of your day.


Dear Reader,

If you're a crazy cat lady like me, I wish your cats a long and happy life.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
