A vet's point of view. WHY KITTENS ARE BETTER THAN BABIES, Top 10 reasons why kittens are better than babies: 10. Veterinarians have evening hours. 9. Your kitten won't be able to disturb the whole movie theater with its crying. In fact, you don't even have to take the kitten with you, and if you don't you don't even have to worry about whether or not the sitter is available tonight. 8. Your kitten won't grow out of those cute but expensive clothes within three months. 7. Kittens look cute even if they haven't had a bath this month. 6. You probably don't have to lie awake nights wondering how you are going to finance your kitten's college education. 5. No one will accuse you of being an unfit mother if you don't want to breastfeed your kitten. 4. No one will accuse you of perversion or sexual abuse if you fondle your kitten. 3. No one will accuse you of destroying the moral fabric of the country if you aren't married to the father of your kitten. In fact, nobody will ever ask you if you know who the father is. 2. No one will question your abilities to function normally at your job when they hear you just got a kitten. And the Number 1 reason: You only have to change a litter box once a day! |

I've known a number
of people who told me that they were really eager to have babies. Having
a spouse or good job would be ok, too, but what they were really after
was the babies. I never understood the attraction for a long time, but
then it hit me. They must want babies like I wanted a cat. (Until recently
I lived in a dormitory, where people of the furry persuasion are the
subject of intense discrimination). Though I now understand the feelings
of those who have the unfulfilled cravings of the existence of another
living creature in the house, I feel it my duty to point out the flaws
in their reasoning.
