Hah, I think I'm going cat-crazy. xD

4tuna tells me of a couple of cats who need a home. I think that perhaps this has sparked my longtime previously-under-the-surface want of a cat. You know how it is, you're a little kid and you're like PETS and your parents are like NO... so you give up. But now I want a cat again.

So, to all you cat owners... tell me about cats. What's good, what's bad? What do you have to put up with? What weird things do cats do?

If my mom doesn't let me get a cat right now, I'll probably get one when I go to uni. Yup. I've been kinda apprehensive about uni ever since I started thinking about it... independence, making your own food and doing your own laundry and actually CLEANING the pigsty you live in... it's just such a big change for a sheltered only child like me. (Yes, I'm spoiled, and aware of it.) But now I start thinking about all the things I'll have - all that freedom, the freedom to get a pet again (I've wanted birds but my parents said no after we lost our last ones, and of course the cat thing), the freedom to go out when I want (I have to tell my parents where I am if I'm taking the bus, but they usually drive me and stuff), the freedom to... date? I guess (since my parents are leery of boys, especially if they don't know them... what is the concept of going out on a date with a stranger), the freedom to... I dunno, do all the stupid teenagery stuff I've missed out on. Also the chance to live around people of my own age (assuming I'm in residence or something), because I don't know any of my neighbours anymore. I mean, I used to sort of know them, but now everyone around us seems to have moved out. Blah, I feel super sheltered.

ANYway. Cat.
