My Cat Thinks I'm A Freak

For more reasons than one.

Article Cats

At least half of the time spent with our pets is us wondering what exactly they’re thinking and why they do what they do. Let’s face it -- our pets are weird. My cat likes to chitter at the ceiling fan whenever I turn it on despite the fact she knows that it hasn’t left the ceiling every other time I’ve turned it on. Does she think it’s alive? Does she think she can somehow catch it? Is she telling it her secrets? Who knows…I sure as heck don’t.

As much as we think our pets do some weird things and we wonder what the thought process is behind it, I feel like our pets are probably just as confused at what we do. These are some of the thought I think my cat (Persephone) has about some of the things I do.

Where does mom go all day? Does she not know I’m at home waiting to play and nap with her? I think she’s living a double life. What if she has another house with another cat?! She does always come home smelling like a bunch of other cats ... She claims it’s because of work but who even knows what the truth is at this point. All I know is, if I find out she does have another cat in secret, the claws will come out so fast the furniture won’t even know what hit ‘em!

Why does my mom dig through my potty and steal my poops at the end of the day? Why does she want them? Where does she take them in that baggy?

Why does mom always want to touch my tummy? It’s just a tummy but she acts like it’s the best thing she’s ever seen! Sometimes I roll on my back just to see that silly face she makes when she sees it.

Why is mom ALWAYS watching the same stuff over and over again? I mean, the least she could do is play a couple of bird documentaries a day for me, but nope. All I ever see is SVU and Bob’s Burgers and It’s Always Sunny. The girl needs to mix things up a little! I think I’m going to go crazy if I hear the SVU theme song one more time.

Why does mom go in that scary rain machine in the bathroom? Does she not know that that’s WATER coming out?! She always comes out smelling funny so I have to rub myself on her legs so she smells a little more normal. Maybe she likes torturing herself (I mean, to each his own). What a weirdo.

Plus, I NEVER see her cleaning herself! I try to teach her by licking her face and her arms every once in awhile but she doesn’t seem to be getting it. It’s getting pretty gross, does she not care about her hygiene? Maybe she doesn’t think she needs to lick and clean herself because she doesn’t have a lot of hair to clean but still.

Mom eats really weird food, too. I don’t know if it’s that she can only afford fancy feast for one of us so she lets me have it and she eats the weird food, but I’d share if she wanted! She always lets me smell it but I never want to eat it. If it didn't come in a can, this gal isn't eating it!

So there you have it. These are just some of the things I think goes through my cat’s head on a daily basis. Until we develop animal mind reading technology, though, we may never actually know. All I know is, my cat definitely thinks I’m a total freak.

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.

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.
