Top 5 Things All Cat Owners Know

As an avid feline lover, there are very few downsides to owning a cat. With the endless love and care we give and receive from our feline friends, here are 5 things all cat lovers know…

1. The shedding is disgusting

After recently brushing my cat out in the back yard, I was mortified at how much extra fur she really has. After 10 minutes, which seemed like forever, I had enough fur in my hard to create an entirely new cat.

2. Hairballs

On the topic of grooming, the ‘self’ clean method that all cats are known for isn’t always the most pleasant thing. After 5 minutes of hacking and coughing, they leave you with a little present, at exactly the worst times.

3. Cuddles

Cats are infamously known for their cuddles. Nothing in the world is more comforting to a cat lover than the sound of a gentle purr as your feline friend cuddles up with you in bed.

4. Litter Boxes

Cleaning the litter box twice a week at times could seem excessive to some… until you skip a day and are forced to deal with the seemingly endless scooping.

5. Endless Love

Every cat owner will tell you they have the best cat in the world. Regardless of age, gender, or color every cat will give back the love they receive. It is important to keep in mind that you frline will always be there when you are a little upset and just need a pick-me-up because at the end of the day what’s one more cat nap?

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
