Our new pet.
Yes, that’s right… my wife and I just got a new pet!
Now, those of you that know us personally are aware that we currently have two stupid cats: Fat and Fatter, err.. Dumb and Dumber… err that’s not it… Mugsy and Hunter. Now having three pets, I have decided that it is time for me to pick a favorite. I have developed the following list of comparisons to help me do so:
Fur
Cats - Get fur all over the carpet, laminate floors and bathroom tile.
Roomba - Removes cat fur from the carpet, laminate floors and bathroom tile.
Roomba - 1pt.
Intelligence
Cats - Roam around on their own randomly, often stopping to sleep for extended periods for no reason.
Roomba - Roams around on its own intelligently but can also be controlled remotely.
Roomba - 1pt.
Vocal Abilities
Cats - MEOW! (I WANT FOOD)
Roomba - Doo doo do doooo! (Victory noise when intelligently going home on its own after a hard day’s work)
Roomba - 1pt.
Upkeep
Cats - Deposit excrement in large boxes of gritty crap for me to clean. Require expensive trips to the vet.
Roomba - Cleans up dirt and cat hair from around the house and deposits it into a easy to remove and empty bin for my convenience.
Roomba - 1pt.
Obedience
Cats - Stares at me or goes back to sleep when asked to do something.
Roomba - Cleans in normal, max, or spot mode at the push of a button.
Roomba - 1pt.
Final Score:
Cats: 0
Roomba: 5
The verdict is in! Goodbye kitty, hello Roomba! My neeeew favorite pet! r0xors!
