Pets

How about you don't get a cat that digs in the plants and uses the bathroom in them and plays around all night with a bell around its neck, without asking me first??  All I ask for is some respect and input since we both live here!  I'd never get a pet without asking you.  See?  I have some consideration for you, but you have none for me.  That's not fair.  Just don't ask me for money to help you take care of that brat because I ain't doing that.  Never!
