Ngl I’m not huge on cats but seeing that while studying would’ve been a really nice break and would help lighten the load
Why are you not huge on cats? Have you not owned one?
They’re bad for the environment if they get out of the house, and a lot of people have made fair arguments that they’re not actually a domesticated animal.
if they get out of the house
Well, the solution is to not let them get out
But how can you proofread your manuscripts without one?
Care to elaborate on your second point? Like why/how is that an issue?
Meh, that’s nothing; J. H. Hetherington listed his cat, Chester, as a co-author on several papers (and even as the sole author of one of them).

The first pic looks like a mug shot. “Proofreading the manuscript” is pretty funny. It seems a little odd that the cats’ names aren’t also included
That’s their names: first cat, second cat… He’s a math book author after all.
