Dogs are Easy, But Cats are Plain Weird

Things Only Cat Owners Understand
Catherine Hake

Pets are a glorious thing. They're always there when you need someone to lay with you, they're there to put a smile on your face, and they're always the first thing to greet you when you get home. Cats are an interesting pet choice. They're in their own little world and you're just along for the ride. They think the world revolves around them, and honestly I'm that person that will make them believe it because they're just so stinking cute, how could you not. But occasionally my cat will get on my nerves, and I bet other cat owners will feel my pain.

When you're trying to get work done and your cat just lays on your chest and stares at you.

I kid you not, this happened while I was writing this article!

Constantly having scratch marks on random parts of your body.

I swear I'm not prone to accidents, it's just my cat. (Shameless plug to not get your cat declawed because it's bad!!! Thanks)

Waking up in the middle of the night to your cat scratching on its post.

I mean yes I bought it for you for that's exact intention but so you really need to be using it at 3 am????

Waking up to your cat meowing (or my cat who 'mews')

I love you but why are you like this?

When they knock over random stuff in your room.

If you knock over my expensive perfume or make up one more time I'm going to let my dog eat you. (Not really)

They constantly have that "I'm judging you so hard right now" look.

Literally I spoil you so much, stop giving me that look.

Having mixed feelings when they lick you.

It's cute and all but your tongue feels like sandpaper on my skin. Love you though.

Spending a bunch of money on toys for them but they find random things around the house to play with instead.

I did not spend all this money on you for you to be swatting at a piece of paper for an hour!

Feeling like the chosen one when they cuddle with you.

Yes, show me affection.

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.

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.
