They say that in the modern age, for parental-aged millennials, "plants are the new pets and pets are the new kids". Having a plant is as demanding as having a pet in previous generations. Plants require meticulous tending and care in order to thrive in your home– like a pet. In the old days, you could just set your dog free on the ranch and hope it came back without any broken limbs. Nowadays, your pet is more important than that. Your pets no longer serve a purpose or have a job on the farm, their occupation is to enrich your life with their love and company, sort of like a human child…?
So if you're one of the classic aging millennials who refuses to have a kid in the world climate right now, then you probably have a cat that you love dearly. That cat is your obsession. That cat is your best buddy. That cat is your biological child.
