Dogs

There is only one creature on earth that has been dubbed "man's best friend", and it ain't a pussy(cat).

Dogs, by a forever margin.

Dogs. I have no serious issue with felines (although they're weird and unpredictable) my golden girl is one of my best friends. Dogs know loyalty.

I loved cats growing up, my parents had them, but if i ever get a pet, its gonna be a dog.

Walks, keep me in shape and bond with the animal. Plus, cats dont make you feel anywhere near as loved.

Dogs are great, but if I were going to get another pet it would probably be a cat. They require much less maintenance. Litter boxes are a hassle, but perhaps with one of those mechanized ones it wouldn't be too bad. The great thing about cats is that you don't have to give them baths, nor do you have to walk them or be home to let them outside. Maybe if I had a house with a doggie door and a fenced yard so the dogs could more or less take care of themselves it would be okay. I just don't like the idea of having to rush home if I'm away for too many hours because I've got to take care of my dogs. Hell with cats I could set up an automatic feeder and they'd be good for days alone. Not that I'd want to be a negligent pet owner, but I'd prefer to have that flexibility.

I have a cat but really want to get a dog.

Dogs provide so much companionship, love and affection. Having a dog these last 7 years has been the cornerstone of going my own way...with a bulldog by my side

I have both and look at this both as a utility & pet.

If it's an outdoor cat, then a cat by miles; he kills all the shit that has damaged my home or garden in the past and haven't seen since, 95% of the time shits and pisses outside so I maybe have to clean the box once a month, and can survive for a week at a time locked up with water & food dispenser when I travel.

The dog must come with me when traveling and cannot be left alonr for longer than a day. He often destroys random things in the house when left alone too long, shits and pisses occasionally on the rug despote being walked constantly & potty trained. The only thing I enjoy about the dog is the greetings at the door, the barking when strangers are nearby, and him eating/cleaning up dropped food.

I love both, but I find cats more human. Something about the relationship between people and dogs makes me weirdly uncomfortable - like the fact that what makes a dog "good" is its ability to obey orders. Unconditional love is just a strange idea. They're SO ridiculously full of affection and they just don't care if you're a dick and literally everything they do is to please you and earn your validation. People aren't like that. Humans deal in conditional love and so do cats, which is what I find most charming about them. Dogs see us as masters. Cats see us as roommates.

A dog literally has to learn to hold in its pee and poop and wait for you, begging and barking and pleading with you until you decide that you're free and it's okay to take it for a walk so it can relieve itself. And it still loves you despite that. That's crazy to me. A cat decides when it wants to go, and it just goes, just like a person would. If you tried to deny it that basic right, it would claw your fucking face off. They're just not programmed to be subservient and submissive, they prefer to be equal.

Plus, I have a really nice apartment and I have some moderately expensive art, houseplants and fucktonnes of precarious piles of books. Cats are super dainty, cautious and spatially aware. I'd love a husky or a lab retriever, but they'd cause hundreds of dollars worth of damage in one single excited tail-wag.
