person A: Oh boy I am livid! I just got this new couch from my family and my cats have already shredded an entire side of it.
person B: Oh no_comma_ that's such an awful thing for them to do. Do your cats often ruin things in the household?
person A: No_comma_ that's what's very shocking about this! They're decent cats. I know they're animals who don't know better but I really liked this couch.
person B: Oh odd. That's a good way to look at it though; too many people get too angry with their pets over these type of things.
person A: Agreed. We forget that they're small animals. Their brains aren't that big!
