They didn't just come inside. They also infected us with brain parasites that makes us like cats, and learnt to meow in specific frequencies that make us treat them like human babies...

They also helped keep grain stores free from vermin that would otherwise have cost countless lives throughout history. Our ancestors knew damn well why they wanted to keep them around.

I don't treat cats like human babies. I like cats way more

They're that good at it. (Also the toxoplasma help.)

Really, it's babies' fault for not staying ahead of the game. With all the germs they roll in and all the poop they produce, they should have something to show for it by now.

I'm not even a cat person and I had a baby and they're still better than babies. Cleaning a litterbox vs. cleaning a diaper? No question which I would never do again and it's not the litterbox.

Also, you don't have to teach a cat how to eat.

And yeah, they can wake you up at night, but probably not every single night, possibly several nights, over the course of months.

I dearly love my daughter, but definitely cat over baby.

My cat told me not to believe these lies spread by dogs.

Only about 11% of the US population has toxoplasmosis, and healthy people recover without treatment. It's not a life long thing.

Why do I keep seeing people spread this "toxoplasmosis makes you like cats" myth
