Cats

If I had to say one thing that makes me extremely happy in life, one of the first things that springs to mind is cats. Yes, cats. I have been labelled by a number of people as a crazy cat lady but to be honest I can't deny it because I know it's true.

When my cat died a few years ago I was utterly heartbroken. Why can't they live forever?! I've been nagging my mum ever since to get another cat but she says she doesn't want another one. BUT I DO! Ok, so I live away at university most of the time and won't be at home to look after it...but I would definitely be back every possible opportunity if we got another one. Please mum, pleaaaaaaase?

I could easily watch hour after hour of cat videos on YouTube and if you say that you've never done that then you're lying. If you don't believe me, type in cats scared of cucumbers online..I can guarantee that you'll be on the floor laughing within a few minutes.

I would definitely say that if I was an animal I'd be a cat. Cute and cuddly but also has a feisty side. I also love a good cat nap, who doesn't?!

CAT CAFES! When I first heard this idea I thought it was a joke, but it's actually a thing. As soon as I found out about them, I obviously had to go? I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences of my life and I would highly recommend it to all cat lovers (maybe not if you don't like cats). 

I'm worried my obsession may get out of hand and I'll end up as some crazy, lonely, old woman who has a house full of 50 cats instead of kids one day. Let's hope that doesn't happen, but meh I'm not totally against the idea.

Napping

Why is it that naps are so satisfying?

I find it's always the unexpected naps that are always the best too. That feeling when you wake up and have no idea how you fell asleep? Yet you feel so refreshed and alive after it, it's amazing.

There are times in the past where I have actually planned naps, especially before a night out to give me that extra energy boost. It makes such a difference!  Even if it's just 20 minutes, you feel like a totally new person when you wake up and you're ready for the night ahead.

My experience of being a student has taught me that naps always seem to get you through those stressful times. Got too much work on? Have a nap. On the verge of having a breakdown? Have a nap. It's the best solution.

Those people who fall asleep on public transport still amaze me though, I have never been able to do that. I would constantly feel like someone was watching me whilst I sleep and that's just weird...

I am aware I sound like an absolute grandma, but I literally have no shame in admitting that I love a good nap.
