I have nothing against furless children. In fact I’ve always loved babies and figured I’d have a few by now. But I’d like to take a moment to recognize a few advantages of the furry kind.

I’m sure there are many more, so be sure to leave comments!

24 reasons cats are better than (furless) children.

Cats:

1 – Don’t become teenagers convinced you’ve ruined their lives.

2 – Don’t ask how kitties are made.

3 – Don’t require supervision when they’re in the sand box. In fact, they’d prefer you didn’t.

4 – Feed themselves.

5 – Bathe themselves.

6 – Don’t practice their drum kit loudly when you are trying to read, watch TV or just think.

7 – Don’t need you to buy them clothes (well, not usually).

8 – Are spayed or neutered by age one (or should be) so you don’t have to worry about teen pregnancies.

9 – Don’t drive drunk or text and drive.

11 – Don’t need to be chauffeured from rehearsals, play dates, practice, games, and back again.

12 – Don’t talk back. Usually.
