The pros and cons of owning a cat..(Updated version)

Pros:

1. Petting a cat is relaxing and therapeutic.
2. You don't have to walk them.
3. Their fur smells good, especially when sprayed with perfume by your six year old.

Cons:

1. Taking them to get their shots and getting them fixed costs a small fortune.
2. You have to board them while on vacation because they are sneaky and might burn the house down.
3. They want your food and scavenge for crumbs constantly.
4. They wait until you aren't looking and jump up on the counters and table.
5. They are sneaky, finicky, and moody.
6. They don't sleep all night, so they pounce on your head at 3am.
7. The litter box stinks up the entire floor of your home.
8. They chew on your husbands shoe.
9. They claw up your couch and climb up the curtains.
10. They lick your face right after cleaning their own rear end.
11. They climb on your bookcases and knock things over.
12. They fall in the bathtub when you are in it trying to take a bath. ( just Daniel, he's retarded)
13. They stare at you when you are in the shower like you are nuts.
14. They think that your bra hanging from the doorknob is a fun toy.
15. They follow you around, and you constantly trip over them.
16. When you call them to pet them, they may decide that you are not worthy enough at the time to pet the king and queen cat, so they just stare at you.
17. They know when you want to put them away for the night, so they hide from you and you have to drag them out from under the couch.
18. They love your garage, probably cause it smells like rotten food, and try to dart in there every time you open the door.
19. Your toddler tries to kill them by picking them up by the neck.
20. You are scared half to death while lounging on the couch watching TV, when they pounce on you with no warning.
21. They shed fur all over the place and it gets in your food.
22. Half of your family will be deathly allergic to cats.
23. They are not obedient. They scoff at your rules.

I agree about the darting into the garage thing. What's up with that? I'll bet yours doesn't barf on the rug or poop on it...ours does. Anyone want our cat? We tried giving it away seriously already.

When I told mom we were moving this weekend, one of her first questions was are we getting a cat. Why does everybody expect us to have a pet..HAHA

So if I find a cat hair in my food while eating at your house...I don't know what I'm going to do....

ok, cat/dog hair in food is totally (in Noelle's words) DISGUSTING.

Bethany, you need a pet bc it feels more like "your" house and there is no one telling you that you have to pay a fee or that you can't have one. I give it less than 2 years (bc of the new baby) and you will have a pet of some sort. but get that little dog that you had on your blog a long time ago.
