OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder

It's a cat lover thing ... you wouldn't understand.

OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder

Personally, I know I have a problem. OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder. Whether it is cuddling up to your feline friend or trying to establish a relationship where you wear the pants, not them, cats have a wonderful way of snuggling their way into our hearts. Some people (ahem, dog people), do not understand why we as cat people obsess over our little companions. So, here is a list of why we obsess over our little fur babies (because I do what I want, that's why).

1. They are adorable.

They are furry and they are just so lazy. Whether they are fat or small, they can steal your heart in a minute without you even realizing it. And that combination makes them just plain adorable.

2. They are great at snuggling.

Because they are so lazy, they sleep a lot. Which is great because they love to cuddle up next to you after a long day at work or while you are trying to fall asleep. Plus, their main goal is to keep you warm even if they are so small.

3. They go through everything with us for years.

Whether it is happy times or sad times, events or memories, cats are there. Cats can usually pick up on how you are feeling and know how to handle you as their owner. This makes them perfect in every way. Cats know when you are sad and can comfort you. They know when you are too cheery, and they will annoy you. Either way, you love every second of it because in the end your cat loves you just as much as you love them.

4. They are so amused by the simplest things (i.e. string and boxes)

Cats will be amused with anything. You could buy a whole thing of toys, and the cat would still choose the bag that the toys came in. You could put their toys in a box, and they will take their toys out of the box just to play with said box. They will find anyway to get a piece of string to play with from clothing, bags, crafts, and anything they can get their paws on. But hey, cats just wanna have fun!

5. They are incredibly fun to face swap with.

This is my fur niece. She loves taking pictures ... well, sort of.

6. There is an entire musical dedicated to cats

It teaches how the pyramid of feline hierarchy works. And on top of that, there are some pretty fierce dance numbers in it as well.

7. They are so dang photogenic

Whether it is beauty or it is hilarious, cats take awesome pictures.

8. They are seriously just so fun to chill with.

I mean, putting things on their head while they just sit there is considered entertainment, right?

9. Cats are incredibly intelligent!

Cats seriously know certain words. They know times and schedules and how to follow them without being trained. Talk about impressive!

So, whether you have a cat or don't, at some point you may find yourself suffering from OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder. It is a common ailment, so don't fret! I'm positive that after a snuggle or two, you will be more than OK with it!

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.
