Be your own pet***
Betta: Can we have a new cat? I'm going to call it Gandalf.
Parent (in word-of-god voice): No.
Betta: Oh, why not?
Parent: You're leaving soon and I'll be the one looking after it.
Betta (peevishly): You would come to love it in the end.
Debated wisdom/viability of hiding aforementioned cat in room. Decided that such actions (as well as above conversation) do not reflect mature adulthood, although this household sorely needs the cool aloofness of a haughty independent feline to balance the slavish dependecy of two geriatric dogs.

I don't think you should get a cat. Remember your previous one? Satan? That was... you know... enough cats for ten lifetimes
hey hey someone in jakarta has internet! Glory be :)
Um, someone should tell you the only reason I would only get a cat is to vex and torture you.
Come home soon - we'll wear tight dresses and go out.
I think as a general rule of thumb, adults don't have to ask their parents for permission.
No wearing tight dresses. Only very loose frocks and jeans. Triple layer. Thanks.

Duh, this is Ma-layyy-sia!!! People living with their parents until they are approaching 40 is normal! (I personally have the acquaintence of such a person. He's strangely well-adjusted)
Me and zilla' keep our hijabs in the closet. We know there are people out there who dig that look.
lol :)
maybe "normal" is too strong of a word? :)
i mean, "hi mom, i brought this cute chick home, i'm going to be doing the freaky in my home, that is, if its okay with you..?" is abnormal.
but, "hi mom, i want a cat" is?
