11 Things Cat Owners Say

If you have ever owned a cat, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.

We love our cats! They're adorable, lovable, and great to have around the house. Of course, having a cat can come at a price (and not just the one at the shelter or pet store). As someone who owns four, I know a lot of these struggles. If you own any cats, you've probably found yourself saying some of these things.


1. "Where did this hair come from?"

It doesn't matter how many times you wash it or how often you use a lint roller; there is always still fur in your clothing. You can keep telling yourself that one day it'll go away, but you might as well just begin to accept it.

2. "I promise I feed/pet them regularly!"

Having company over or a housemate come home can be a great opportunity for your cat to howl and act like you never give it the attention it deserves. We know you just fed them ten minutes ago and pet them every chance you get, but your cat makes a strong argument otherwise.

3. "Why did I even bother buying you a bed?"

If there is one thing cats love, it's sleeping everywhere and anywhere... Unless it is the pet bed that you spent a lot of time picking out on Amazon. Honestly, they'll probably just sleep in the box it came in.

4. "How did you even get there?!"

Cats are the masterminds of finding weird places to perch and sleep. Getting in the sink? Easy! Somehow getting on the neighbor's roof? Not a problem! Jumping onto the couch? Well... let's not talk about that one.

5. "Do I smell okay?"

Going out in public is always a risk. Here's to another day hoping you don't smell overwhelmingly like your cat or its litterbox.

6. "This isn't for you!"

Their food and water bowls may be freshly filled, but that food you just sat down with looks ten times better. How can you say no to that face? Sharing is caring!

7. "Looks like I'm stuck..."

Aww, how cute! Your cat fell asleep on you. Too bad you need to get up to go do something. But waking them up would be rude! You can always do it tomorrow...

8. "I'm trying to work here!"

We know you are trying to work on a project or study for that big test tomorrow, but obviously petting your cat this very second is much more important than your income or future. You can try to ignore them, but that might result in them playing with your pencil or laying across your keyboard and papers.

9. "Get your butt out of my face!"

Yes, kitty, you have a nice butt... now can you please not stick it right in my face?!

10. "Can I get a little privacy?"

When your cat wants attention, you better stop everything and do it. Part of this means never getting to close doors without hearing desperate claws on it immediately after.

11. "You're lucky I love you..."

Cats get themselves into a lot of trouble, but we still love them. Those quiet bonding moments or playtimes all make it worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
