14 Reasons Cats Are Better Than Dogs
Savannah Ratay

The debate between cats and dogs has been around for way too long. Let's all be honest with ourselves, cats are a lot better.

1. The solution to any problem is probably food.

Is your cat being a little moody or meowing a lot? Give it some food and I guarantee they'll be satisfied.

2. They're the best cuddle buddies.

If you've never experienced a cuddle sesh with a cat, you're really missing out. As long as you keep petting them, they'll be your cuddle buddy for days.

3. They're just as sassy as you.

Whats better than having a pet with the same level of sass as you?? Nothing.

4. They'll sit there with their tongues out and it's the cutest.

Do they even notice their tongue is sticking out?? I freak out every time my cat does this because it's just so adorable.

5. A paper bag can be their favorite toy in the world.

Out of all the toys and treats I've ever gotten for my cat, a Publix paper bag is her favorite thing ever. Whether she's rubbing her face against it, crawling in it, or laying on top of it, it always makes her happy.

6. They won't judge you for sleeping all day

A cat would never judge you for sleeping all day. They'd be right next to you and perfectly happy.

7. Cats are quiet.

You would never be woken up or scared by random barking at nothing with a cat. They won't even move when the doorbell rings.

8. Purring is the best.

I don't know how they do it, but purring is one of the best things about a cat. It just shows you how much they love and appreciate you.

9. You'll have a pest-free house.

I've gotten "gifts" of anything from lizards to rodents from my cat. It's gross but it's the thought that counts.

10. They clean themselves.

Cats really are the easiest pet, they literally clean themselves and are never dirty. Less work for you, more time for cuddles.

11. They also LOVE any kind of container.

Here's another example of how low maintenance cats are. My cat is entertained for days with any type of object that she can sit in or on.

12. You don't have to take them outside.

All of you dog lovers out there have definitely been forced to take your dog outside in some type of hurricane, snow storm, etc, while me, my cat, and her litter box were cozy inside.

13. Cats are cheaper.

Cats eat less and they don't need expensive toys and treats to be perfectly happy. win win

14. They're just overall way cuter.

This is my cat. She's the cutest animal ever and if you disagree, you're wrong.

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.
