All pets are bloody useless. Every morning I come downstairs and find a plant knocked on the floor, pot broken and soil spilled everywhere, and the culprit rolling around in it. 4 kittens is hard work, especially when they team up, but when they are being egged on by the 4 adult cats, it gets impossible.

Dogs are crappy pets too. Throw a stick away and they give it back to you. If I wanted a stick that came back I would buy a boomerang. They are supposed to be man's best friend. Bull plop. How many times have my friends said to me "my dog helped my pull this hot lady!" NEVER. If I said "Fido, fix my car" he would just bring me a goddamn stick!
