11 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Have A Cat

Tiny, little balls of pure evil are no good to have.

11 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Have A Cat

Ever since humans domesticated cats thousands of years ago, it's been a downward spiral. Nothing that cute can ever be good, and it's honestly surprising how we haven't noticed by this point. Even though most of us know dogs are better, here are a few reasons why cats are just bad animals.

*Disclaimer: I actually love cats, and this is intended to be entirely comedic.

1. They have tiny feeties.

Any animal with small feet can't be up to any good. Think of all the bad things the can hide in there: like claws, baby slaps, and even love. That kind of unpredictability outweighs how cute those little footsies are.

2. They look better in sunglasses than you.

Even if you love your pet, no one wants to be shown up by them. Even worse—when you need your sunglasses back, you don't want to stop your kitty from look so cool.

3. They aren't good TV companions.

Try to watch TV with this little girl! Your cat may be cute and even give you a good laugh, but how are you supposed to finish that nature documentary? If you want one of these furry beasts, maybe stick to Netflix.

4. They don't eat their vegetables.

A healthy pet is a happy pet. In the case of cats, it's very hard to keep them healthy because they're scared of veggies. However, I understand cats for this, so maybe it's not that awful.

5. They will take your whole bed.

Sleep is necessary for life, but all the sleep you'll get with a cat won't be in the comfort of your bed any more.

6. They will take everything from you because they can.

Think about everything you own: They're all toys now. Start buying new shoelaces and shorts and getting ready to Instagram how cute these little devils are while they ruin your lives.

7. Like your cups? They'll be gone soon.

Cats are guaranteed to destroy the things you love after taking them because they don't matter to them. Glasses, artwork, candles, and more will break along with your heart when your little fluff creates chaos.

8. They can steal your man.

If you're having relationship troubles, a cat may be the last thing you need. If you're single, looking for a man, and love cats, the two might be found in the same place. So this is a plus.

9. They look better in Halloween costumes than you do.

Halloween is already hard with trying to fit in with your friends and other and to try to look good as well; this struggle isn't made any easier when your feline friend shows you up. This kitty looks so good.

10. They're better at origami than you probably are.

Just to taunt you, they'll throw their good work on the ground and swat a paw at it like it's nothing. Even if you perfect your art and give it to them as a present, they will probably do the same thing: again, everything is a toy.

11. They'll make you fall in love.

Look at that sinister grin. That cat knows the human is in their grip and can manipulate the person to do whatever. Stay away from corrupt and clever cats before you fall in love with their charming, cutesy-wootsie selves.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
