15 Things You Know To Be True When You're A Cat Mom
Heaven Nash

Those who aren't cat people will never understand our obsession with our kitties. Until you have a pet of your own, you won't know the feeling of having someone greet you at the door, endless cuddles, and a packed camera-roll of your fur-baby. 10/10 recommend having a pet, they'll change your life.

1. Plants? Nope. Chargers on the floor? Absolutely not. Blinds? Forget it. 

Everyone talks about the chore of child-proofing a home. Let let me tell ya, it's just as difficult to KITTY-PROOF a home, even if it's a one-bedroom apartment.

2. Fur has become an accessory you've added to your daily wardrobe. 

After a few months of having a cat, you give up trying to lint-roll and pick off each individual piece of fur.. rock that kitty fluff sister.

3. So... what is this camera roll storage you speak of?

Napping kitty? Captured

Playing kitty? Captured

Eating kitty? Got it

Walking kitty? Yup

Breathing kitty? OH yes

4. "Yeah.. if you don't like cats, our friendship has expired, sorry!!" 

Cats > Humans, enough said.

5. Alllllllll the toys. 

TREAT YO KITTY. Your favorite go-to snack at the grocery store can wait, that cat toy is a must.

6. Just kidding, to them, the best toys are free.  

Bobby pins... bottle caps... empty cups... Q-tips...everything that isn't theirs.

7. Your cat is your therapist.. 24/7

Homework, boys, latest drama, stress, excitement, everything under the sun, you chat about with your kitty-child. She knows exactly what you're saying!!!

8. People actually have to use an alarm clock?

Top of the morning, you have beautiful sounding meows coming into your ears. Those meows translate to "Mom, wake up. I've torn up the house all night and need recharged, feed me.. now."

9. You've accepted that you're going to be a crazy cat lady for the rest of your life

Husband and children... maybe. 100 cats.. oh yes.

10. "Sorry I can't go out tonight, my cat actually wants to spend time with me". 

These times are few and far between, everything gets cancelled on these days. Am I right or....

11. Nothing in happening at 4a.m. in your home except for.. olympic stair racing

Up. Down. Up again. Roll down... again. Half way up... stumble back down. On your belly... on your back... on your head... one paw up in the air... it never ends, until the sun comes up and it's time to go to sleep since your human is at school.

12. ...Would I be judged if I walked my cat on a leash on campus?

This question crosses our mind at least once a week... the answer is do it.

13. Purrs are your absolute favorite sound 

You would bend over backward and drop anything in the world in order to make your cat purr. No better sound than your cat saying "I love you too, mom."

14. If you could have a t-shirt with your cat's mugshot on it, you would. 

Cups, socks, shirts, car decals, bedding, picture frames, etc... anything with a cat on it? You need it.

15. You wouldn't be the same without them 

No matter how many times they knock down your favorite plant, wake you up in the middle of the night, and lay on your computer when you are trying to be productive for once... you couldn't imagine life without your fur-baby.

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.
