PROS:
- a constant companion
- probable weight loss
- happiness
- a cuddle/snuggle buddy
- having somebody to blame for every unfortunate thing happening to me (and then receiving an “I don’t care” look afterwards)
- having something I can finally name Dr. Tibbles :D
- having something I can annoy to death
- having something who looks and acts weirder than I do
- proof to establish my “crazy cat lover” status
- having something remotely interesting to post on Facebook (lol)
- conversation starter
- a third alarm clock
- saving hundreds of $$$ which I would have spent on shopping instead
- lap warmer
- free massage XD
CONS:
- having to clean a stinky litter box (forever the #1 con in owning a cat)
- the $200 deposit for having a pet in the apartment
- the monthly expenditures of owning a cat (which pales in comparison to the hundreds of $$$ I would have saved—see PROS)
- having to bathe it (not exactly a con, but oh well)
- probable vet expenses
- a third alarm clock
- probable emotional distress if it becomes sick/dies (crap, I feel sad just thinking about it)
Feel free to add more, world.

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things…The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”

Scientists claim to have invented their own version of Doctor Who’s famous sonic screwdriver.
The Dundee University researchers have created a machine which uses ultrasound to lift and rotate a rubber disc floating in a cylinder of water.
It is said to be the first time ultrasound waves have been used to turn objects rather than simply push them.
The study could help make surgery using ultrasound techniques more precise, the physicists said.
Ultrasound waves could already be made to push objects and scientists believed they could also turn them - but the Dundee University team claims to have now proved it.
They used energy from an ultrasound array to form a beam that can both carry momentum to push away an object in its path and, by using a beam shaped like a helix or vortex, cause the object to rotate.
The results of the sonic screwdriver experiment will be published in the American Physical Society’s journal Physical Review Letters.
I will be waiting, world. I will be waiting.

And Dancing With the Stars was on the TV. I suddenly heard “fezes are cool” from one of the members of Rascal Flatts. I became so giddy and excited that my patient gave me a strange look while I skedaddled out the room. :D
