Living With A Cat

It's exactly what you would think.

Living With A Cat

When it comes to living with a stubborn drama queen, life never has a dull moment. This is for all of the cat people out there who know and experience this type of lifestyle. Having a cat (or multiple) can leave someone feeling a whirlwind of emotions. These emotions can include: happiness, confusion, suspicion, fear, anger, defeat, forgiveness, and eventually love, all within the time-span of about five minutes. Regardless of how they make you feel, the cats don't care. You are inferior, while they reign supreme. Here are just a few of the all-too-real struggles.

The cat must always follow you to the bathroom.

Whether the cat wants to drink from the sink or just wants to be loved while you do your business, there is no escaping the constant attention your cat needs and demands. To them, there is no alone time. You're just going to have to get used to using the bathroom with someone is watching you.

The cat refuses to let you use your laptop.


Once the cat has made its way onto your laptop, there is no stopping it. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, the cat will find you and sit on your keyboard. I wrote several essays with the help of my cat sitting on my keyboard, adding extra letters and words. Even now as I am writing this, there is a cat trying to sit on my laptop. It is inevitable.

The cat must wake you up at 3 a.m. every single night.

It never goes without fail that your cat must wake you up every night. Most of the time, it is for no better reason then to simply be loved. You've been asleep for too long, and that is displeasing to the royal highness. You can try shutting them out of your room, but good luck with the constant meowing and scratching.

The cat will be into anything and everything you bring into your home.

Along with never having any alone time, get used to never having anything to call your own. It is your cat's personal duty to investigate and tear up every single object in the house. Curiosity killed the cat, you know. You just need to accept that your cat views your furniture, plants and priceless belongings as a jungle gym that they must defeat every day.

The cat will eat your food, then throw it up all over the house (and yes, you will step in it).

Your cat will trick you into feeding it human food, only to give it back to you on your white carpet. Don't worry about them feeling bad, because as soon as you walk around barefoot, you'll step in a fresh pile. This was probably a present to you to say sorry for the last one; how thoughtful. Despite the previous points, cats are actually great pets. I couldn't imagine my life without my two furry babies. At the end of the day, I'm always thankful for them and I know deep, down inside they love me as well. My cats are always concerned when I'm sick and they always greet me at the door. Overall, they are the best cuddle buddies (when they feel like it).

Living with a cat is definitely the best and most interesting part of my day.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
