Also a much more boring option. Pretty sure our cats have paid for themselves many times over in free entertainment.

  having cats is not free. and there are tons of entertainment options, the vast majority of which don't shit, smell, scratch, bite or significantly increase the chance of children or the unborn being with infected with a mind-altering brain parasite. but yes, agreed, cats can do cute things, petting is fun, and feeling them purr is great. just have to weigh the trade-offs and beware of alternatives.

    factually true comments should never be punished down to -1. HN's voting system is broken and too easily abused by people being jerks, helping to reinforce groupthink

      Your comment is not factually true, it is a matter of opinion, and it's jerkish besides. We don't need someone coming in to reel off facts in a jerkish fashion. Facts aren't that hard to find.
