This made me pretty angry....my roommate's boyfriend was checking out Otis, and when I told him they get about 5 feet on average, he actually asked me if I would get rid of him when he got that big!!! Apparently according to him "a lot of people do that".....Argh! I just told him that I bought Otis for FOREVER, and that doing that is just very irresponsible...I really didn't want to be mean or anything...but that kind of stuff just really peeves me soooo much......
