What No One Tells You About Getting A Cat

Cats are one of the most joyous creatures on the face of this Earth. From their little bean pads to the twitching whiskers, any time you look at them you're instantly filled with glee.


If you have the thought of adopting one, you might not think twice about the antics that come along with it. These are the untold things that come with your new cat child.


They have different meows

From the "I don't care that it's 3 am, I'm hungry" meow to the "Why aren't you giving me the attention I'm not sure I want"meow, you get to learn them, just like a baby and its different cries.


They will knock over everything

Oh, I'm sorry, this is your favorite glass? It would be a shame if.... something were to happen to it.....

Sometimes they'll want to cuddle. Most of the time, they won't

Or they'll make it seem like they want to cuddle and suddenly they won't nothing to do with you

They can be expensive

Toys, litter, food, vet bills. Cats aren't just something to have. You need to be able to take care of them and all of their needs.

But, they'll find more joy in bottle caps or wrappers than they ever will with the toys you buy them

Save some cash, keep your caps.

Your curtains mean nothing to them

I hope you like that torn look in your curtains, or the bends in the blinds.

There's no such thing as personal space

They aren't afraid to climb right into your lap when you're sitting on the toilet.

They're the best excuse to get out of plans

Wow, I would LOVE to, but i really need to get home and feed my at.

You'll realize that you've never loved something so much

My best friend has four paws.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
