You are missing out on opportunities to have poop in interesting locations of your house.
You mean poop in interesting unknown locations I, an adult, can poop in locations way more interesting than any animal or child.
Pets are a lot for sure, and you shouldn’t have them if you don’t have the capacity or bandwidth to care for them. That being said, my pets have drastically helped my mental health. I can’t imagine what going through the quarantine would have been like without them.
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and althougb they are indeed work I can not live without them. That being said I used to be a dog person until I got a cat! I LOOOOVE dogs but man cats are so so much easier! They are chill, fun, loving and just overall easy!
Having cats is like having teens and dogs are like toddlers.
I was only 19 when I got my cat, I severely underestimated the care and cost involved. I wouldn’t have it any other way, but damn a rash decision based on cuteness changed my life drastically. Vet bills come out of nowhere, it has limited what kind of jobs I have taken, and more. Cats are low maintenance too comparatively. Love this lil demon, may we have many more years together.
not feeling obligated to clean up someone else’s poo is a really enjoyable life quality.
Look, I can barely take care of myself some days.
I get it, I really do. And come time to say final goodbyes, the pain is almost unbearable. But man, waking up to finding out you’re in the middle of a furry sleepstack with warm, fuzzy friends who purr and cozily nuzzle up to you on a cold winter’s night is something else entirely. Wouldn’t want to miss it for anything.
Oh, and kids are allright, I guess.
