But seriously, cats are fucking self-centered assholes, as far as pets can be. They're not like dogs that are starved for and happy to get attention whenever you want to give it. Cats are moody bastards. They come to you when they want your attention. Otherwise, fuck off, they don't want to be bothered. And if you do bother them when they don't want to be bothered, out come the claws. If they do let you pet them, don't think you're going to be doing it for very long, because when they've had enough, they've had enough. And if you try to go any further with it, out come the claws. If you pet them in any spots on their body that isn't the 2 or 3 approved spots, out come the claws. If they don't like the litter box, or the litter that you bought to put in the litter box, fuck you, they're peeing and shitting in the corner. If you try to stop them, out come the claws. If you don't want them in a certain room and you close the door, they'll howl and whine and scratch to be let in until you let them in. If you try to get them away from the room in question, out come the claws. And I swear they wait to do shit to you when you're sleeping. You can be all comfy and sleeping under the covers, and the little bastards will come and get under the covers with you. But don't move an inch and disrupt them, because if you do, out come the claws. Because they're fucking pricks.
And that's why dogs are better.
