Why I Killed My Cat - There are so many reasons. First, he kept peeing in my daughter's bed. By Emily Yoffe

This article is sad and hilarious. It hurts to have a pet that pisses you off by being the anti-pet. People have pets to make them happy, to be companiions, to relieve stress etc. Admittedly, these are selfish reasons. However, in exchange these pets get warm homes, a person to love and pet them and Eukanuba food with loads of vitamins. Decent pet owners deal with the hassle of veterinarian visits, vomiting (hair balls), white fur on the favorite pair of black jeans and other annoyances because that comes with the pet-owning territory. Unfortunately, some animals who seem to hail from Pet Semetary and make life torture by peeing on ones bed (repeatedly), make other animal's lives hell and making an owner regret the decision to own that particular pet. This article, while unfortunate, details what happens (or should happen) when a pet becomes a demon and there is no turning back. http://slate.msn.com/id/2126249/nav/tap1/
