Meet My Seven Rescue Cats

The most special thing about my cats is that they are all rescues!

This is Birdie, is my oldest cat. She is about 4 years old now. A family member found her and her brother in the bushes by her house. I was begging my mom for a cat, so we got her!

Buni is my cat! She is so precious. My stepdad found her on some property he was cleaning up to sell. He said she would follow him around begging for food. She was still a tiny kitten and lost her mother. He had the heart to pick her up and bring her home to me! She loves to lick my face and sit in my lap whenever she can. I have to say that she's my favorite.

Sarah is an absolute sweetheart! She loves being petted and she has the cutest little "meow" sounds when she's happy. Her mother was a stray and left her to our care. Sarah used to be as wild as a little squirrel but now we can't get her out of bed.

Pumpkin is our orange, long-haired cat! It was so cool because we actually got to see her being born! It was my sister's cat's baby. She wasn't able to keep her, and no one else wanted her, so we decided to take her. She is a little sweetheart and she loves to cuddle!

Jill is one of our younger babies. She's a tabby, and we believe she might be somehow related to Sarah. My stepdad and uncle were driving down the road in the snow and heard soft kitten cries. They stopped and brought her home. She has a similar look to Sarah, so we think maybe the mother cat had another litter in our neighborhood.

Poppy is a sweet girl. I love her precious little face. My parents have been renovating a house to sell for almost five months now! They found her there and she was starving. We took her in and we tried to find her a new home, but no one wanted her. But we love her nonetheless!

Phoebe is also from the renovated home. We believe that she is the mother of Poppy. She is a calico and she looks very similar to Buni! She was skin and bones when we first brought her home. Now she eats like there's no tomorrow! We love her golden "jewel" eyes.

I absolutely adore all seven of my kitties! I love sharing all of their stories because they mean so much to me and my family. There are so many homeless cats out there. These cats that have joined my family are some of the lucky ones.

A lot of people say, "adopt, don't shop," and I support that 100%! The very least that people can do is to have their pets spayed or neutered. There are many places that help the public pay for these services and it helps tremendously with the costs. There is also a program that allows people, at little to no cost, to trap feral cats and have them spayed, neutered, and then be re-released. Having your cats spayed neutered helps keep the homeless population down and shelters from overcrowding.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
