re: Cats are better pets than dogs

Because dogs don't have much of a brain

My dog uses a doggie door. If we are watching TV she'll hop down and she just makes her way over to it. When the door is closed she would walk all the way back and just stare at us from the end of the couch. We knew what she needed, and one of us (mainly me) would get up.

One day she was either "frick these people they know the rules, I ain't got time for this shite" (she's a bit sassy) or really had to go, and stayed by her door, barked once, and that got me up to head over to open it up for her.

Now she never walks back and just barks, unless she has to come find us somewhere in the house, and she stands at the room door entrance, barks, makes eye contact with whomever she found first and just walks off towards her door, probably cussing whomever for forgetting to open it when they got home.

Moral of the story...their brains are better than you think.

My house never smells like a litter box, nor is there cat hair on my counters.

Congrats on a having a beta husband that lets you keep cats inside.

Don't need a fence

Fences serve many more purposes than keeping a dog on property. The dog containment is just a bonus of a fence.

Unless you have a tiny little puppy that still has the bladder the size of a grape, you don't have to do this with dogs.

You haven’t met my dog. She only gets all loving when she wants me to do something heh.

Always wanted my own dog, but the breeds I like, it would be so unfair with my job and hours.

A girl I know said her cat was having a litter, I should take one. As it turns out, cats definitely pick their owners. Is she as friendly as a dog? By no means.

I’ve had her since she was a month old. Never leaves my side. I taught her to fetch. I attached three six foot dog leashes together and she runs around outside.

Dogs aren’t better than cats, cats aren’t better than dogs. It’s all about companionship. Wouldn’t trade my cat for anything.

That's another thing. If you work away from home, dogs can't be trusted for 8+ hours. Cats can be for 24 hours
