10 Reasons Cats Are The Best Type Of Pet

Emily Motta

Cats are perhaps the best pets to own, though I may be just slightly biased. After all, I do have three gorgeous calicos: Patches, Mittzy, and Callie. I don't really get why they don't get as much love as dogs. I mean, they're just as loving and full of personality.While I don't really have any issues with dogs, I just definitely prefer cats to dogs. I think it's because dogs are too hyperactive for me. Cats, on the other hand, are much calmer.

Still, cats deserve to be loved just as much as dogs. And they definitely don't deserve to be treated cruelly, like the one time someone told me he just shot them just for fun when I told him about mine (btw, that kind of unnecessary cruelty to animals is a sign of being a sociopath). If you say you don't like cats, then you're either lying to yourself or you've never even owned one. Here are just 10 of the reasons that cats are the best type of pets.

1. They’re super cute (and photogenic)

Emily Motta

I mean, just look at Mittzy. Isn’t that the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen? If you said “No,” then you’re lying to yourself.

2. They’re full of personality

Emily Motta

You can clearly see Callie's playful personality shining through this pic.

3. They let you know what they like and what they don’t

Emily Motta

Mittzy is clearly letting me know how she feels about spoons.

4. They guard your house

Emily Motta

Who needs a guard dog when there’s Patches laying in front of the door. Obviously going to stop every robber in their tracks.

5. They like trying new things (sometimes)

Emily Motta

Yoplait yogurt is Callie’s favorite thing in the entire world. She comes running every time she sees it and will sit and beg for it.

6. They’re always down for a nap.

Emily Motta

Doesn’t it just make you want to lay down and take a nap with them?

7. They take after you in so many ways

Emily Motta

Laying down while eating? That’s totally something I would do.

8. They’re super smart

Olivia Motta

How many cats do you know that can figure out how to play with a fidget spinner. (She also knows how to “work” an old sewing machine by pressing down on the pedal).

9. They help you clean

Emily Motta

And by help you clean, I mean lay down on the thing you literally just cleaned and look at you innocently.

10. Literally, everything they do is adorable and you love them so much

Emily Motta

I mean, a cat wearing an FFA scarf? Admit it, that’s adorable.

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
