Clearly, and despite
competing opinions,
a kitten is substantially preferable to a puppy. It's also,
incidentally,
obvious
that a new video card is 1.5 times as desirable as a baby.
In their favour,
babies can be made at home and offer superior
resale
value.
The kitten, however, is obviously the better option.
