4. They die.
5. Dirt in a pot indoors is good for a cat to dig in.
6. Dirt in a pot indoors is good for a cat to pee in.
7. Dirt in a pot indoors is good for a cat to poop in.

9. They never pay for dinner.
10. Sometimes they get horrible little tiny insect infestations.
11. They cast dreadful shadows.
12. They fall off the shelves.
13. Their methods of reproduction are very confusing.
14. Most of them are poisonous.
15. Any time anything interesting happens, they attribute the cause to a magical invisible being that lives in the dirt.
16. They have all these needs (light, water) where you can’t give them too little or too much.
17. Most of them look delicious to cats.
18. They don’t know any funny jokes.
19. They don’t help with housework, and they never answer the phone.
