15 Things About My 15-year-old Cat
Angela Dow

In all of my years as a human being, I have loved cats. I believe that cats are some of the most pure creations on the earth, and have lived with one since I was a young child. Today I would like to share with you some wonderful things about my cat.

Don't get me wrong: all cats deserve love, but I happen to think that my cat is special.

Here are 15 super extraordinary things about my 15-year-old cat, accompanied by pictures to greater enrich your joy.

1. When she sleeps, it is in the formation of a perfect orb.


2. There are moments when my cat is asleep and pauses her breathing, making me think she’s dead, and then resumes breathing only to give me hope that not all good things are ending in the world.


3. When I'm sad and she walks up to me, makes a “hello” sound, and proceeds to poke me with her face- it completely brightens my life.



4. When she falls asleep right next to my face, I feel like no bad guy or intruder would stand a chance against her. She's like a ninja creature.


5. My cat is almost always down to celebrate, and loves to be the center of attention. Here she is pictured joining the celebration of my high school graduation.



6. I don't know about you, but my cat knowswhen I'm upset. I mean, my mom knows too, but my cat— she knows. and she doesn’t ask questions. She just shows up and makes me feel so much better.


7. When I'm away for a long time and arrive at home, she is the first one running at the door to welcome me- I feel special.


8. She hugs me like a human with her adorable little paws, except its even better because she isn’t a human.


9. Her name is Scratcher because my brother named her and was afraid of being scratched by her when he was four years old, but we all know she’s too kind for that. she's soft and not a scratcher.



10. Just looking at her is stress-reliving in itself. She always looks pleasant and peaceful.


11. To be truthful, i love her sometimes just for how ridiculous she looks and how much laughter she brings into my life.



12. Her paws. (I mean, really?!)



13. She is always in the mood to snuggle and she falls asleep while purring and it’s my favorite thing.


14. She is so photogenic that nearly my entire Instagram page is filled with beautiful cat pictures- I would have it no other way.


15. My cat thinks that my bed is her bed and makes sure to remind me of that whenever I happen to leave it un-made-- rather, she thinks intentionally so that she can have a happy little kitty nap.


The thing about my cat is that there are so many things about my cat- she is wonderful in many, many ways.

I hope you enjoyed this slightly humorous and potentially exaggerated declaration of my love for my cat.

I stand by my conviction that they are the best furry creatures.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
