10 Reasons Everyone Needs A Cat
Briget Sarah

I've had my cat for about five and a half years now. I have truly seen such a difference in how I've changed as a person and how I love animals. Finn has been by my side for when I need a good laugh, or when I'm sad about something and just need something to snuggle with. It also helps that he's adorable in every way.

Having a little animal worship you, be happy to see you when you get home, and love you unconditionally are such great feelings. Finn has opened my eyes to unconditional love and how I look at pets. He is more than "just a cat" to me; he's my first baby and truly a companion that will never hurt me.

So, here are 10 reasons why I think everyone needs a cat at least some point in their lives. There is so much to learn and experience when having a cat in your life.

1. You'll always have a sleeping buddy.

My cat waits for me to come home to go to sleep, and sleeps with me almost every night.

2. All cats are soft!

Who doesn't want a soft, little fur baby following you around and laying around with you all day?

3. They're just as lazy as we are!

Cats spend most of the day sleeping, so they don"t require much movement in order to be around them.

4. They're LOW maintenance animals.

Cats don't require too much work; just a litter box change a few times a week and making sure they always have food and water.

5. You'll know when they're truly happy.

Cats can't control when they purr (that vibrating noise they make), so if they do it around you, they're truly happy to be around you!

6. Sometimes, you can dress them up!

My cat isn't a fan, but some cats like being dressed up! They look super cute, too!

7. Cats are sassy.

My cat is just as sassy as I am, which means there is never a dull moment.

8. Some cats aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

My cat, Finn, isn't always the smartest. So, that keeps me pretty entertained at times.

9. Cats are always around.

They are always there.

10. They teach you unconditional love.

Finn has taught me unconditional love since I got him, and I can't wait to see him grow with me and eventually with my kids.

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.
