Cats Are Easier to Raise Than Teenagers

[SoDesuKa]

Speaking from experience, cats are easier to raise than teenagers. They don't talk back, they don't roll their eyes, and when they're out at night you don't worry about them. They are also cheaper to feed.

All right, teenagers don't claw the furniture. I'll give you that.



Cats Don't Roll Their Eyes

[quakerboy]

1. Teens do claw the furniture

But they are less likely to be trained to stop and run at the sight of a squirt bottle.

2. oh cats can talk

[Crazy Dave]

3. Don't talk back?!?

Maybe store-bought cats are better behaved than my adopted ones :D

[bigwillq]

4. That's why I would rather have a cat than a teenager.

And I hate cats. :evilgrin:

5. Cats don't borrow your car and return it with an empty gas tank.

Cats don't get tattoos and weird piercings.
Cats don't form bands that rehearse loudly in your garage.
Cats don't act embarrassed to be seen in public with you.
Cats don't leave their dirty laundry on the floor.
Cats don't stand in front of an open refrigerator for ten minutes looking for something to eat, and then complain that there's nothing to eat.
Cats don't tell you that you are ruining their life when you tell them they can't go to Cancun for spring break with their dropout biker boyfriend.
Cats don't listen to music that can curdle gin and etch glass.

On the other hand, teenagers don't puke up hairballs on the rug.

6. How 'bout this: Cats don't burn a silver dollar size hole in your carpet with a hookah coal.

:mad:

7. But teenagers don't pee in your closet.

I hope.

11. They Come When They're Called

Actually, uh, it's dogs that do that. Here and there a cat has been known to do it too. And some people say that some teenagers have done it, although these reports aren't recent.

14. they come at the sound of food opening

but then so do teenagers.

[madinmaryland]

8. Teenagers don't do these things that cats do...

1. Barf on the floor when you haven't put out their can of tuna by 6:08am.

2. Leave random skid marks on the floor.

3. Sleep on your packed suitcase.

4. Take a dump in the litter box when you have company over and spend 20 minutes trying to bury it.

Does anyone know a teenager who is up at 6:08am asking to be fed? The answer to that question is no. Teenagers are lucky to be up by noon!

9. They also don't vomit in the hallway outside your bedroom

so you'll step in it with your bare feet.

[KamaAina]

16. Unless you're away for the weekend

:beer:

[rrneck]

10. Who are they going to brag to about that? nt

[ashling]

12. Teenagers do not

stand on your computer keyboard and demand a buttcheck

[soleiri]

13. There's sooo much cat drama in our house

I'm having an easier time with my teenage boys.

New kitty is an adolescent cat and the others are not happy.

[RedCloud]

15. Teenagers forget to lick their smells away.

[Taverner]

17. And chances are THIS will never happen:

[stuntcat]

20. LOLOL!!

TY, I'd totally forgot about TOONCES! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I can hear the song now. It's been yeeeears since I saw that :rofl:

[tabbycat31]

18. Do teenagers bring you dead animals as "presents?"

[kimi]

19. Teenagers don't purr

and if they do, it's likely that they've done something that will get them arrested.
