Let's talk about cats

I have been going back and forth for years on deciding whether or not I should get a cat. Let’s look at the pros and cons.

Pros:
I am at work a lot, and cats like to be on their own
They do not need to be walked
They are fairly quiet

Cons:
I have heard they can take on some of the personality traits of their owner. If the cat I get is anything like me, I will have one cranky cat!
I have been told that I need to have a decent amount of cash on hand in case anything is to happen health-wise to the cat.
I do not think I could handle the cat getting worms. Well, not so much the cat getting the worms, but me seeing them.
Additional $800 deposit at my apartments and $25 a month in “pet rent”, because they take up soooo much space.
I honestly would rather have a bear cub, but I don’t think that would fly.

Okay people, convince me one way or another. If it does happen, it will not be for a few months.
