Having pets better than having kids?

I am a regular follower of PassiveAggressive. In a post called So…I’m guessing you don’t get many visitors in your neck of the woods, a note written by a pet lover on why having dogs and cats are better than having kids:

TO ALL PETS OWNER WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

1. They live here. You don’t.
2. If you don’t want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That’s why they call it ‘fur’-niture
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don’t speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less
2. Don’t ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don’t hang out with drug-using people
7. Don’t smoke or drink
8. Don’t want to wear your clothes
9. Don’t have to buy the latest fashions
10. Don’t need a gazillion dollars for college
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
