42. Not when they do it in my crotch, no. Otherwise, generally yes. Cats are a mixed bag.

I can't live without them, but they tear up everything, think outside the litter box, steal my water glass straws, hide my glasses (yes, they hide them), steal tooth brushes, piss on important papers, scratch at things that aren't there (like on your legs while you're taking a dump), sleep on clean clothes in the laundry baskets, try to escape from wherever they shouldn't, get on the sink to piss you off, eat from pans on the stove, barf on the rug and couch, and other things that aren't pleasant. On the plus side, they DO kill mice, they purr, and they're cuddles. It's a give and take thing.
