Yes, I Will Be a Crazy Cat Lady
Yes. Well, if we’re going just based on the blogger title of my article, then the answer is yes. See the thing is, whenever anyone ever asked me “Are you a dog or a cat person?” the answer would just naturally leave me as “Oh, clearly I’m a dog person!” But… I’m not. And it took me living with two obnoxious fur beasts to realize that.
My second month in New Orleans I called Mattan and was telling him about how much I love Nibbler (my brother's adorable black cat), and he responded with “I always knew you were secretly a cat person,” and I was like “What?” But it made so much sense. Dogs always want attention and need time for walks and stuff like that, but with cats it’s so much easier. Yeah, there’s play time, but it’s all on their terms. And it’s easy that way. Especially because they sleep 90% of the day. Also? Cat cuddles are ELITE! I love cat cuddles so much it’s not even funny. I would sacrifice everything for these cats. Yeah, having Nibbler jump on my throat at 2 am is pretty sucky, and she annoys me all the time in class, but she always cuddles with me when I’m stressed or sits in my lap during tests or sleeps at the edge of my bed and lets me cuddle her even though she hates it. And yeah, not all cats are like that, but she is. And I love her, so much.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love dogs. I love dogs so much. I would get a dog in college if I didn’t think I’d need a service dog in the near future (fun fact: you can’t have a pet dog if you have a service dog!!) because I love them that much. But, cats are just so much easier to take care of and as someone who’s introverted and too depressed to take care of myself most of the time, cats are far easier to take care of than dogs are. I could ramble on about this for hours and hours, but I just really love cats and I’m so happy I got to live with two little nuggets for the past year.
Are you a dog or cat person?
