Why Teenagers Are Like Cats
For all of you with teenagers or who have had teenagers, or are a
teenager, you may want to know why they really have a lot in common with
cats: Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by
name. 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. 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. Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno, neither your
cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile. - No cat or teenager shares
you taste in music. Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa
for
hours on end without moving, barely breathing. Cats have nine lives.
Teenagers carry on as if they did. Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly
the same manner, communicating that ultimate human ecstasy - a sense of
complete and utter boredom. Cats and teenagers do not improve anyones
furniture. 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.
