The new year is all about looking back on the things you've learned and looking forward at the things to come.
So now, I'm looking back at all the life lessons I've learned from my cat!
#1: Take naps.
#2: Bask in the sun.
#3: Eat food you love.
#4: You're beautiful. Anyone who disagrees are litter box scoopers.
#5: Take time to play!
#6: A good death glare will take you far in life.
#7: Size doesn't matter in life. Only how determined you are and how big your heart is.
#8: It's important to have claws and be able to use them, but its also important to know when to retract them and pad soft footed. Like when
#9: Go a little crazy sometimes.
#10: Don't be afraid to let someone know you love them.
#11: If someone is making you uncomfortable, tell them.
#12: If they touch you without permission MAKE THEM BLEED!
And all you girls out there should go check out this blog, The Cornered Cat.
Stay safe out there.

What?? You can't learn from a cat. You can only learn from a dog, obviously. XD (I'm just kidding. But for real, cats hate me...)
ReplyDeleteThat website you linked is awesome. Even though its cat themed, I bookmarked it because I've been wanting to learn more about guns and self-defense. So thanks for linking that. <3
Great post. *coughs* Dogs are better *cough* XD XD
<3

Yay! I knew some of you would like the Cornered Cat. (I really like her cat mentality toward it...)
Delete*cough* cats *cough*
*coughs* are we going to do this every time I post about cats? *cough*
*cough* cough is such a weird looking word *cough*
*cough* dogs *cough*
Delete*cough* I don't know, probably *cough*
*cough* I agree, it is weird *cough* XD
I respect some people prefer cats. To be honest, I used to be afraid of dogs. Now, I can't imagine my life without my puppy. Except, he's four, but he still acts like a puppy. XD
if you guy have a cold, you should be careful not to spread it : )
Delete*cough*you can stop now *cough*
iv been infected! save yourselves!
Too *cough* late *cough*
Delete*cough* It's just allergies *cough*
Delete*cough* to the dogs *sniff*
Delete*cough* to the cats *cough* *sneezes* *sniffles*
Delete(I'm actually really allergic to cats, so this is what usually happens. XD)
heeeheee, I loved this post, MK. I'm such a cat myself *meow meow*.
ReplyDeleteCatherine

DeleteYES!!!! Cats are awesome!!! I love all of these. They're so true, especially #6. Love it!
ReplyDelete#6 is my favorite too, though I tend to follow #2 more...
DeleteI wasn't originally a cat person (I'm a full-on Equestrian) until this scraggly, ugly cat showed up where I work. Well...he stuck around, and now I can't imagine life without him!
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't have claws, but man, can he bite!
I have a cat like that...
DeleteWe have a lot of cats, but this one stray showed up...His foot was infected, so I took care of it and fed him...and now he is the most annoying thing ever and follows me constantly.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Oooh...that's so neat that your cat taught you some things!:) I like the #12th thing your cat taught you.
ReplyDelete-Quinley
I do too.
DeleteEvery time someone refers to them by their number, I have to frantically scroll up like, what was it? Oh, yeah. Yeah that. *nods sagely*
YES. LIFE LESSONS FROM CATS ARE THE BEST.
ReplyDeleteI have four of those wonderful creatures. ❤❤❤
CAT LOVERS UNITE!
DeleteFORGET THE HATERS, CATS ARE AMAZNG. XD
DeleteNumber 6. That is so true . . . a snarky remark makes it even better when you're just trying to get them to Stop. Talking.
ReplyDeleteDogs are still better, though. ;D

Nothing like a cat based post to bring out the *sniff* dog people
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteWell, it's not the dogs' fault they're more lovable. Besides, I think I'm allergic, so it's not *sniff* cats *cough* for me.
DeleteCool post! Maybe cats are good for something after all. *cough* Maybe. I don't like cats very much. *cough* I'm with Ivie on that one, lol. xD

XD I'm very dedicated. XD
I was actually counting COMMENTERS
DeleteWell then...Time to go make a bunch of accounts and comment dogs are better. XD
DeleteI volunteer to help! XD
DeleteThat would be considered cheating...but only if you were caught.
DeleteWhich you would be unless you started the posts now, posted all the time from those accounts, came and followed my blog in six months, scrolled back to this post and THEN commented.
That sounds like far too much work. I guess we'll just have to settle for knowing dogs' superiority and hoping you'll come around. XD Or, we could just agree to disagree and stop fighting like . . . cats and dogs. *cue groans*
DeleteBrianna
Or we could all be forced to watch Cats V Dogs II and sing Why Can't We Be Friends until we get along...
DeleteThis conversation...xD
DeleteLHE! You're BACK!
Delete(Cats are better)
MK!!!! It HAS been a long time hasn't it...
Delete(*hushed tones* Cats are the best! Mine likes to stay in my room when I'm gone, acting all sad. Then when I come home, he stalks me. He's my little dragon. *scoops up the fat little puff ball*)
It has. And fat little puff ball is THE. BEST. WAY. to describe a cat
DeleteYou people and your obsession with the furry monsters that are plotting world takeovers.
DeleteMate, I'm plotting world takeover.
DeleteExactly. You don't need any competition.
DeleteAlso, they're sharp.
It is! Do you have any fat little puff balls?
DeleteThey're only sharp if they're aggravated, which we have to admit is our faults most of the time! xP
DeleteIn my experience, they poke unprovoked. Then again, I was holding its toy mouse . . .
DeleteI would consider that provoking :P
DeleteI was trying to throw it across the room for the kitten to chase.
DeleteIt was hungry for catnip *considering the mouse has catnip*
DeleteMaybe? It seemed like it just wanted to draw blood. :)
DeleteThey can be savage, I have to admit.
DeleteBuuuut, so many cats have saved little toddlers from bloodthirsty dogs. *nods*
DeleteYes LHE, I do have cats. And they are the MOST AMAZING THING EVER!
DeleteI'm sorry, MK.
DeleteI know it can be hard to deal with these bloodthirsty animals, but I know you can persevere through this. XD
DeleteI'm dying over here....y'all are hilarious. *wipes eyes*
ReplyDeleteThank you, we try. XD
