When You Are A Serial Cat Lover

The true enlightenment of being a cat owner.

When You Are A Serial Cat Lover
Claudia Antoinette De Iorio

When you are a serial cat lover, you cannot own just one cat. No, you own at least three minimum (I have four). Even If you only have one cat, you tend to make up for only having one by spoiling them to no end. You take selfies with them, and your cat always looks way better than you for some unknown reason. Your cats will not take no for an answer. They all love you just as much as you love them and are equally as crazy as you are. If you have a dog, it is the only dog your cats will ever tolerate. Other animals, in general, are a no-no, for you and for them. You aren't really willing to share or spread the love—except to your cats and the possible one dog. That is it.

They all sleep on top of you at the same time, and you demand that they keep doing so. They eat your food when you aren't looking, or they just help themselves right there in front of you...and you're okay with it. Your animals are going to chew up your earbuds, hair ties, anything with string, or of mild interest to them (mine like to chew my shirt sleeves). One of your cats is at least slightly, probably a lot, stupider than the rest and depends on you to help it do things like put it on the counter because it kept running into the side of it. My cat, Smokey, cannot jump up on the bath tub half of the time and needs to be picked up. Another one is probably smarter than the rest but is way needier; they require you hold him/her while you are cooking, cleaning, brushing your teeth, or even changing clothes. They have probably gone as far as to either claw their way up the side of your body, jump on you while you were not wearing a shirt, or sank their claws into your shoulder causing you the ultimate pain of being a cat owner.

Another possible personality trait one of your cats may have is the constant hunger. If they do posses this hunger, then they will resort to eating just about anything; one of my cats is a kitten we recently rescued and she will literally eat anything. A week or two ago, I was eating veggies with ranch and she climbed up on top of my lap and cried until I fed her some. The funny part was she didn't just lick the dressing off of the vegetable like any of my other cats would have; she ate the whole thing - vegetable included. It was possibly one of the strangest things I have ever seen a cat do.

A part of being a true lover of the cats is carrying on normal conversations with your cat and acting like they respond, which they totally do. You ask them things like how their day was, what they want to watch, how something makes them feel, what happened with your friends, and the most important question of all, "Does this make my butt look big?" They tell you honestly too. They probably say that their day was sleep filled, and they bathed a minimum of thirty times before 10 a.m. They probably want to binge watch all 11 seasons of bones with you. Again. They probably tell you to stop talking when you ask them about their feelings, and when you ask them if your butt looks big, they will most definitely tell you that yes your butt does look big - gigantic, in fact.

No matter what, your cat, or cats, will always love you. They don't care if you work at home, are in college, or whatever. It doesn't care that you are white, black, Hispanic, or mixed. It doesn't care if you are old, young, or middle-aged. Your cat does care if you are happy or sad. It definitely cares about how much you love it, and how much love you actually give it. Your pet/pets love you and everything you do for them, so don't worry about what other people think; have as many pets as you want! Be as weird with your pets as you want. Feed them as much as they want, i.e. 24/7. Play with them all the time and remember that, without you, they wouldn't have a home, a family, or someone who loves them as much as you do.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
