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.

Really? Can you fit in the AC vents to poop in there?

If they’re the type that sit on the floor, that’s amateur hour. Hard mode is the ones in the ceiling.

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.

As much as my dogs can be a nuisance, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

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.

Same here! They give me some purpose in life, in the form of chasing them down when they don’t want to snuggle. 😼 /j

My dog died between Christmas and New Year’s 2020, the two years before I got another were the darkest I’ve had in my life. I need a pet.

not feeling obligated to clean up someone else’s poo is a really enjoyable life quality.

Honestly, the cat helps me on that front. And unlike a child, I can ethically just give her some drugs and turn the TV when I don’t feel like dealing with her right that minute.

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.

I think the final goodbyes line right at the start is way too obvious, it spoils the twist

Well we will all be breaking someone’s heart with a final goodbye. Life is messy.
