Maybe it's just the time frame of my life, but I don't see the usefulness of pets in general. Between my various work, family life and everything associated with it I hardly have lesuire time with the kids let alone the headache associated with a pet. The wife and kids have rabbits. They love them, I just find them a nuisance;-) My opinion on pets will probably change when I get old and have too much free time.
BTW T-bone saying yuo own cats is probably destroying some people's image in here about Republicans. You should tell them something like "Oh yeah I only keep cats for target practice at NRA meetings" :lol:
