reasons for a 20-something to have a cat

Most twenty-somethings without pets claim that having a cat is lame. I find that especially dudes tend to argue that, if you have a cat, you are basically on your way to being a cat lady.

However, I think there are some very good reasons for twenty-somethings to get a cat. Such as:

1) You can't afford to pay for heat

2) You need to renovate your apartment

3) You want to be better with kids
See this post.

However, the reason that guys should keep in mind when their lady-friends wish to acquire a feline is this:

A cat will turn nearby men into firemen.

Like fires, cats cannot be easily controlled. Like fires, an unruly cat is controlled by applying water.

And in the most basic sense, your boyfriend will be like a fireman because he will retrieve your kitty from high places, like firemen always do in movies and cartoons.

In other words...

Turn your boyfriend and other friends into a firemen with a cat!
