DOG! Despite knowing how much of @$$holes they are, I let the wife get a cat last year... big mistake. And this one is no different - cats do whatever they want, whenever they want, and once they realize you don't like them doing something (e.g. walking their feces paws on your eating surfaces, chewing through hundreds of dollars of wires, and/or scratching your furniture for attention) they just wait until you're not looking.
No, I'm not bitter at all.
Only saving grace is that I got my Camaro.
