There are two types of people in the world, dog people and cat people. There should of course be a third type, MP3 player people. For this, you’ll need to know how an MP3 compares with a cat, if you’re thinking of getting one instead of a cat of course.

So, let’s look at some of the ways that an MP3 player is better than a kitten.

MP3 players are more loyal
You’ll never come home to wonder where you’re MP3 player is, where it’s disappeared to. It’ll always be where you’ve left it, unless of course you have a wife/girlfriend/brother who might have borrowed it; but that’s not the MP3 player’s fault. Kittens and cats however have a nasty habit of finding other families to take care of them. They could be out having dinner, playing with balls of string and being petted by someone completely different.

There’s just no loyalty with kittens.

Better run time
MP3 players have varied run times based on the models you buy, but they can, if fully charged, last for hours providing you with a whole evening’s entertainment before needing a charge. Kittens on the other hand only run for a few minutes before needing a sleep. This means if you’re planning to spend the day being entertained by your kitten, you’ll need a back-up plan. Try a dog.

MP3 players don’t leave any mess
This one seems obvious, but you’ll never have to clean up after your MP3 player. Your kitten however will be a constant source of clean up jobs on your behalf.

Indeed, the only way we can see that a kitten is better than an MP3 player is on price. MP3 players start at around £10 up to a few hundred pounds, whereas kittens tend to be free. However, kittens are expensive to run from then on, whereas an MP3 player just needs the occasional charge, which costs pennies on your electric bill.

Thinking of getting a kitten? Get an MP3 player instead.
