Also I have 2 cats, the one is short haired, the other one is a fluffy something with pretty long hairs. Also the thing with the peeing is wrong. Sure maybe the first few weeks it might happen, but then it should change. You should more worry about that your cats could bring dead mice or at least parts of them like only the head or the body. Also you'll learn how a mouse looks inside and stuff. So you can tell your moms, that the peeing problem is the smallest problem.
Cats acquire hygiene habits in less than a month(you just need to point them to the place and make sure the door to it is always open), at least from my experience.

I've had a lot of pets in the past -
  • A female cat when I was 2-3 years old(sadly it was an aggressive siamese, and one time when it was laying on top of me and I started petting it, it damn near blinded my right eye - leading to my father throwing it out of the door despite my protests ... my only memory from that time, since I was so young),
  • A male cat(We got him a few weeks after the siamese attempted to blind me. It was during winter, his mother had died and we found him wandering a field near the house of family friends, so we took him in). In my language his name meant "the one who purs; purring one). He was the closest creature I've ever had, he was awesome and I owe him the best memories of my childhood. However since life is a b*tch we put him to sleep on January 30th 2008. A brain tumor had formed in his brain and he couldn't see, wounds were opening on his body and it was a horrible way to go, so I made the decision after tending to him every day for a week and a half. This was no life and there was no need to prolong his suffering. That story probably has a lot to do with why I find reality unjust and pathetic, since this was one creature that really did not need to go like that.
  • 2 hamsters when I was about 5-6 - one white and one black. One of them bit the male cat one time, other than that nothing memorable about them.
  • Two turtles from between 8-10, they are alive and well today. We gave them to a relative, since just watching them in an aquarium didn't seem too great an idea.
  • A guinea pig from 2009 to until recently. It was a birthday gift(even though I made it clear I didn't want a caged animal), so I couldn't refuse to take him. Sadly this was no life and I'm pretty sure he died of obesity(I was living with other family members when we got him, and I moved out 2-3 months ago)
I would like to get a cat again, but in order to do that I need the money to support it. However I am finally working a good job and it should be possible soon. If I ever get a dog, I'd like a Siberian Husky - now that is a dog. I can't bring myself to consider tiny decorative breeds actual dogs.

Okey switching subject here. About that job thing, what do you work with? What does everyone else work with, what is your favorite class in school? I like art most of all.
change in subject already?
That was quick O_o
inb4switch: Hyenas are more closer related to cats then dogs.

I don't really know too much about jobs and what not, but I'm about to get my first job in a week or so working at the zoo. I'm not going to be able to work with the animals or anything, but I'll be working one of the concession stands.
Hopefully after I get a little older, I'll be able to become a mortition or participate in crime scene cleanups. Only for a little while though, because the jobs don't have a very good salary.
I liked the pet subject
Oh yea, one other pet I forgot to mention before was my pet Cockatoo, I was about 7 years old when me and my parents were in a pet shop, I was browsing for a bird, after we had to put my first cat to sleep. I came across the biggest bird I had seen in my life(at my age at the time). We had to by a licence for this particular bird, because if you put your fingers inside the cage, it would think it's a worm or insect, and try to bit it off. we didn't have it for to long, as it was so loud that neighbors complained to the local council for the bird to be removed from were we lived. The council came and ordered that they take it to the animal pound.

About jobs, In Australia, you have to be at the age of 14 years and 9 months old to start work, but 18 years and over is when you are permitted to start construction work, eg; Mechanic, builder, carpenter, painter and most hands-on work. Guess i'll have to wait another 9 months till I can get a minimum amount of pay. :/
Lynx, my sister works ) but where 14 years and 9 months ;') cause my birthday is in June <3 and she didnt even have to applie because my mum is friends with the hairdresser like ful on friends like they go out and shit for cofee and shit and to clubs :PP and yeah so then her co-worker was cutting me and my sisters hair and she said "Emily your so pretty, do you want a job here, you can try out on saturday?" and emily was like "FYEAH!" xD

I'm going to work as tech support to a large web hosting company(based in the USA). I have a lot of experience in maintaining personal computers and networks, but this kind of tech support is something else entirely. I'll have to learn about servers and databases, but I'm all for it. I prefer to learn while doing stuff, and if I get to be paid for that, awesome. I hope they don't kick me out of the university while I'm at work training, though.

Dream jobs for me would be video game designer(or something similar involving computers and creativity), martial arts instructor, motion capture artist, voice-acting or something connected to wild animals(I have zero interest in livestock). Get a job you like and you won't have to work a single day ;) There are lots of things worth doing in life, but these would be some of my favorites. IMO working is better than education, as from my experience education is way too overrated. A diploma does not prove skill and vice-versa. If I was hiring people, I couldn't care less about how much papers they have - if they are not stupid, can do what I ask of them and learn quickly, they would be in.

WOW

@1TheV:
The older you become, the more you want to write. It's because of the bigger wisdom you gain. But no, we don't have grey beards yet .

Also you should realize that patience is the key. As soon as we think that it is time to promote you to a higher rank, we will do it.



Also, about the job stuff:

When I've finished the current school, I'll visit a private gaming university, in which you can learn programming, level design, etc. After that well who knows, maybe I'll create an epic game in the future :O.
