Hello, college students. As I sit here, perched on in front of the keyboard, I am thinking of your futures. I imagine that some of you will graduate and get a place of your own sometime soon, or at least move into a parent’s empty garage. Remember that any abode is not complete without a furry companion.
But what kind of companion, you ask? I have provided some mice advice below:
Why cats are better than dogs:
The joys of feline friendship:
Cats are intellectually superior to all mortal beings. Just ask the Egyptians. They have extra senses, and dabble in philosophy and ichthyology (the study of fish).
Cats clean themselves. Who has time to wash a dog and a car?
Smaller bodies mean fewer fleas. Most cats will grant you the privilege of removing the ones that they do get though.
No funeral expenses. Don’t worry about a thing when you give up the ghost; any good cat will ceremoniously devour and dispose of you.
The sale of catnip is very lucrative. You need someone who knows the good stuff when they smell it.
Nasty rodents in the attic? Nuisance rabbits in the garden? A cat can help with that, and take care of that chubby-cheeked pellet-munching prisoner on your dresser too.
Cats enjoy watching musicals. Well, one musical. Isn’t Alexander Lloyd Webber just great?
It wouldn’t be fair to provide the above list without a counterargument. After all, dogs are too stupid to make one themselves.
Want a (doggedly) loyal, mindless servant who likes to stick a wet nose into everything? You might like a canine.
You don’t have to share your chocolate with them.
That’s about it! getacatgetacatgetacat.
