I agree with you 100%. I have two kittens and a puppy. I don't have kids but I do have my eye on this 18 year old Korean girl but thats another story!
I wanted to get a puppy but the dogs or coyotes at the ranch would kill it, so I opted for my kitties.
Now, as far as that 18 year old Korean girl goes, you better be careful. Her bite might be worse than a dog or cat's bite would be. LOL
