Do your Teens remind you of your cats??

Of Teenagers And Cats

For all of you with teenagers or who have had teenagers, you
may want to know why they really have a lot in common with
cats:

1. Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call
them by name.

2. No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed,
all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the
privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.

3. You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an
adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager
in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his
or her parents.

4. Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno, neither your
cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile.

5. No cat or teenager shares you taste in music.

6. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for
hours on end without moving, barely breathing.

7. Cats have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did.

8. Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner,
communicating that ultimate human ecstasy -- a sense of
complete and utter boredom.

9. Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone's furniture.

10. Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been
known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead
animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are not above that sort of
behavior.

Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of
advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is
also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand at
all times. And remember, above all else, put out the food
and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When
they make up their minds, they will finally come to you
for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant
moment for all concerned.
