5 Realities of Being a Dog-Cat Person
Daily Kitten

Why chose one, when you can have both? There are awesome things about dogs and cats that just don't ever seem to overlap leaving a hole in the heart of a dog-cat person if they were forced to just stick to one or the other. So here are 5 realities that hold true for all dog-cat lovers.

1. You need a pet that will cuddle you.

Let's face it; a cat just won't be willing to cuddle with you whenever you feel like it - you have to wait for them to be in the mood. Dogs, however, are always down to cuddle. This is especially nice when you are having a rough day or are feeling lonely/ lazy.

2. You also need a pet that will totally freak out over things like lasers, feathers, streamers, and any other fun cat toy.

Need entertainment? There is something about the way that cats totally spaz out over the simplest things that is too funny. If you enjoy this "spazzing out" you get it, if not, then you never will.

3. A good cat video can brighten the darkest of days

Sort of an extension of number 2. on this list. There just aren't as many great dog videos out there as there are for cats. You probably have a list of your top favorites and might even have some saved to your computer/phone. The only thing better than watching funny cat videos is making them. ;)

4. You can't walk a cat, but dogs...

Since we are making comparisons, Dogs are definitely the more adventurous of the two. You can take them hiking, running, or for just a nice short walk. Cats just don't do well on leashes or with the whole "walking with you" thing.

5. Playing dress up with them

Honestly, both cats and dogs are fantastic dress up buddies. There is nothing cuter than an animal wearing a tutu.

6. Sometimes you get lazy and that litter box is your best friend.

As a bonus, on the nights when it's cold out and you really don't want to leave your couch, cats go in a litter box and that is probably a gross thing to be grateful for, but I really don't care.


* All dogs (except the one in the tutu and the first one) are all up for adoption! You can click on the image and it will take you to their adoption page with more info.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
