They say that there has been a decrease in interest for young people having children. Whatever the reason— cost of living, rising population, or just general disliking of screaming toddlers — young people have not turned completely away from their maternal instinct. Instead of rearing human children, folks today are raising their pets, their fur babies, with the same love and affection that they would give to an actual baby. Maybe even more.
The 30-something generation has basically turned PetsMart into the new Babies-R-Us.
So if you're obsessed with your cat, who is also obviously your biological child now, then you probably have had that awkward conversation with your parents regarding your paternity. Sorry Mom, you're not going to be the grandparent of a child, but look at this cat that I have and tell me that's not way better? It takes 9months to make a baby, but it only takes 20 minutes to fill out a pet adoption form at the humane society. Adopt don't shop.
