10 REASONS HAVING A CAT IS BETTER THAN HAVING CHILDREN


1.\tTHEY ARE ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE YOU, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ONLY BEEN GONE 2 MINUTES.
2.\tTHEY DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T TALK BACK NOR ROLL THEIR EYES.
3.\tTHEY DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T HAVE TO BE POTTY TRAINED.
4.\tTHEY DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T ASK FOR IPODS, IPHONES, LAPTOPS, WII, EXPENSIVE CLOTHES, OR THE LATEST CELL PHONE.
5.\tTHEY DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T CARE THAT YOU DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T KNOW WHO “ADAM LAMBERT OR LADY GAGA†IS.
6.\tYOU DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T CONSTANTLY HAVE TO TELL THEM TO CLEAN THEIR ROOM.
7.\tTHEY DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T CARE THAT YOU STILL TALK “BABY TALK†TO THEM AND THEY THINK YOUR CORNY JOKES ARE REALLY FUNNY.
8.\tYOU DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T HAVE TO TELL THEM TO STOP TEXTING AND DO THEIR HOME WORK.
9.\tYOU DONâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]T HAVE TO SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS TO SEND THEM TO COLLEGE.
10.\tAND THE BEST REASON – IF THEY HAVE BABIES – YOU CAN GIVE THEM AWAY.

11. 99.9% of the time you can turn your back on them without worrying they will burn the house down.

12. They dont throw wild parties and trash the house in your absence.

13. They only are a teenager for 1 yr instead of what feels like a million.

14. They may think they are smarter than you but dont voice the fact that they think they are smarter.

15. THEY CANT STEAL YOUR CAR!!!!!!

very good, i loved those as well

Not quite so funny are those that never had children and cannot have children so they have cats. That probably applies to me since I have no children (I have a fully grown stepdaughter) and I honestly think of Persi as my son. I really don't think a human son would have brought me more brightness in my life as Persi has done.

I always tell people that I enjoy having cats because:

I can leave them home alone all day and I won't get arrested.

Also, one week of a pet sitter costs me $150, instead of the $400 a week people pay for daycare.

 

[mai_kitties]

You don't have to pay someone $25+ and let them eat all your food to watch your cats when go out for dinner and a movie.

 

[nurseangel]

They stay little and cute and sweet forever.

16. One day I might get lucky and they will eat the dog!!!!!!!

**Franklin is being more annoying than usual today and Im about ready to wing his stupid ball into the wood stove!!! LOL....**

I'm going to have to disagree with #2 though. Xander talks back all the time when he's in trouble and I would swear that Riley rolls his eyes at me quite often

No kidding!!

 

[3catsn1dog]

The worst addiction they can have is to cat nip.

They may steal your food but they wont eat you out of house and home.

You wont have to worry about buying them clothes for 18 yrs because they come fully dressed already that grows with them.. )

The wont take control of the remote.

They will NEVER utter the words "I hate you"
((not the greatest feeling in the world when that happens. My 5 yr just learned this and uses it often. I try not to take offense but it still stings)

 

[taryn]

They will never spit in your face.(my now 7 year old did this all of once when he was 3. He didn't like the punishment for that and never tried it again.)

They don't use 4-letter words in front of friends or family members, and they don't scream them in public.

They don't want a car at 16.

They come potty trained.

They don't have tantrums in public.

I can top that, Mira does both at the same time.

Me: "Mira, get off the counter! I know you know better!"
Mira: *eye roll* "But moooooooom..."
Me: "Mira, get down, now!"
Mira: *eye roll, sigh* "Fine..." *jumps down while cursing under her breath*

This is a daily occurence. I'm not lying. She even has this one meow she uses when she's talking back that sounds very distinctly like the word 'no'.

 

[3catsn1dog]

They dont use toilet paper so you never have to worry about them not replacing the roll.

They wont stuff toys down the toilet

They wont get into your makeup and ruin all the brand new stuff you just got

They will never raid your liqour cabinet..(probably because theyd rather get in the fridge..lol)

They will never resent the fact that you spend your time on the computer on TCS talking about them.
