"And what’s more, she has no children, no cats."

This is the description one guys says about a woman who he introduces to Al Pacino in the film "Sea of Love."

After watching this 1989 film the other day, the sentence still sticks in my head. It’s interesting to see how cats are placed with equal significance as children within a family structure. However, this "significance" sort of works in a negative sense, for both "no children" and "no cats" would equally boost the woman’s value.
