I mean is it me, look at how cool some of this stuff is. You can have a dog, and well, it's a dog. OK everybody has a dog. (I don't) or you can have a cat although I don't know why anyone would have a cat. (I don't have one and never will) My Daughter has one for about a year and I don't think I ever saw the thing. I have no idea what color it is, how many legs it has, nothing, it's a cat. It's name is probably, cat. Maybe Felix, I have no idea.
But fish are so cool. How many different types of cats are there? 4, 7? Who knows, and more importantly. Who cares. It's a cat.
But fish. OMG, there are thousands, and they don't poop in a stinky litterbox, they don't spit up those disquesting hair balls or scratch the furnature (although they sometimes leak on it). When they die, you flush it and go buy another one. Even catfish are cooler than cats. Hech, amphipods are cooler than cats. OK, so I don't like cats, don't hate me. I know a lot of people have cats. I don't know why. But a lot of people don't know why I have fish. They just don't get it.
If you have a dog or cat, you give it some food and water and forget about it. But fish, have a life. Well for me they do. Yes, I know, I am weird.
But I do have multitudes of friends, some since grammar school but of course none of them have fish. They all have dogs and cats.
My wife has a cousin and quite a few years ago we went to their house for dinner and they have this big cat. It could have been a lion but they said it was just a house cat. It was on top of this high piece of furnature staring at us. Her cousin said not to make any sudden moves or the cat will attack you. I mean, Really. Would you have an animal that may attack you if you make a sudden move? I can run back and forth in front of my tank for as long as 15 minutes and not one of my clown gobies will make a move towards me.
My neighbor is going on vacation and she wants me to feed her dog. I hate that dog and I am scared to death of it. Whenever I walk up to her door, it growls, barks, jumps up and down and scratches curses in the glass door referencing me. She says he is playing. Like Duh, Playing. I get the horrors when I go there and now I have to play with this thing.
Anyway. Fish are so interesting and cool. just look at these guys. Try and get a cat that looks like this.
