Here Are 5 Things You Are Guilty Of If You Are An Obsessed Cat Mom

In This Article:

Several months ago, I had the proud moment of becoming a cat mom. She came as a blessing during a heartbreak in the early year of 2018. I never thought that one could love an animal so deeply, but here I am. Most recently, I went out of town for the weekend to visit family. This means that my little kitty had her very first sleepover without mom. *Insert casual eye roll here.* If you're not a dedicated cat mom, then you will never understand the bond. With that being said, I discovered that my little girl has allergies when she ended up in the vent this last week without me and after taking extreme measures, it was brought to my attention that I am an extreme cat mom. If you're like me, then you are most likely guilty of doing these 5 things.

1. Your parents are referred to as "grandparents" to your cat. 

I cannot be the only one who has their parents nicknamed for their cat. I know too many cat owners who call their parents, "Nana." It could be embarrassing to the average person, but I say learn to embrace it because it does get a good to laugh out of everyone.

2. Your camera roll is stocked with paw pictures. 


It's lowkey embarrassing when I turn on my camera to show someone a specific photo and all that pops up is my cat laying on the floor looking cute. Oh, and my iPhone wallpaper? It has my cat happily displayed on there too. People are always wondering how many pictures of my cat can I get because it always looks like she is posing the same. The answer is that you can never have too many pictures of your furbaby.

3. Your furkid has an opinion about your personal problems.

I'll keep this one basic, but I cannot be the only person who walks around the house consulting my cat about lives dilemmas. I can't help it. They are the best secret keepers ever.

 4. It's not a successful day if you don't get to smother them with kisses.

They may not like all of the kisses, but nothing is more satisfying then cradling your baby and smooching on them. When their little, cold paw comes batting at your lips, you know they have had enough love. It's just so perfect!

5. Your fun fact at any meeting is that you have a cat. 

Literally, you know who you are in this situation. Everyone always knows your fun fact before you even state it. At least you are excited to state your fun fact, but maybe it's time that we all found another fun fact.

Well, now you know what it's like to be an obsessed cat mom. If this is you, then don't deny the power! Being a cat mom is by far the best thing ever. Their little life touches you daily and adds warmth to your home. Cats are often times misunderstood and not given the benefit of the doubt. Okay, maybe I am overly opinionated, but everyone gets to love their pet how they want too. There is no shame in your game, mom. Own your little kitty daughter or son and go with it! Give them the best life they deserve.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
