Absurd Quote of the Day

Overheard during lunch this afternoon at Wise’s Drugstore:

“I just think that cats are more demanding than dogs.”

MoggieYeah, my demanding cat who I can leave for days at a time with no worries – what a burden! When she lies next to me and purrs contentedly, it’s such a hassle. And the other one that lives outside, who drinks from a fountain and takes care of her own kitty business, is so troublesome.

Look, I understand some people don’t like cats. But be reasonable. Dogs require a tremendous amount of care. Cats are, by and large, very low maintenance. If I wanted to, I could get the automatic litterbox–PoopBot, if you will–one of those water dishes with a screw-on two-liter bottle, tear open a bag of MeowMix, and leave Moggie for a month. As long a twister didn’t carry our house away, she’d be sitting quietly in the windowsill when we returned. To quote our neighbor, “Cats is where it’s at”.
