Well folks, I found an IRL cat hater!

Genuinely took me off guard when she said that.

She also snarled in disgust when I showed her a picture of one of the sweet heart strays in my neighborhood.

.....Probably coming off as a fake post, but no, I'm being serious!

dog owners are 100x more annoying than cat owners, esp indoor cats. Cats don't bark incessantly. And after seeing a pit bull latch onto a border collies face, im good on the violent breeds. cat haters lack the emotional maturity to deal with a cat, they need the automatic loyalty of a dog. nvm the fact i can't leave the house longer than 8 hours. my friend with the pit bull has to have his parents walk the dogs at lunch. also dog houses tend to smell because their stink gets everywhere. my friend ripped out his old carpet and when i walked in his house last week, i could tell the air was fresher. he's also just a filthy person though. having a dog is too close to having a child.

    The correlation sure isn't pretty, the causation is significantly less clear

    nah it's pretty clear. Many kinds of dogs bite, people like to always mention chihuahuas bite the most, but im pretty sure nobody has died or been mangled by a chihuahua. i know someone who took in a cane corso from a shelter, he has a huge scar on his arm. i knew someone recently decided(stupidly) to get a pit bull when they have two cats. The pit bull was chasing the cats, so they got rid of it. Pit bulls are great if you dont have kids or other pets.

    I was ready to get in a fight with you but even I have to admit

    It can be worse than having a child because children grow and can speak. Having a puppy is like having a rapid baby that can piss and shit everywhere on command, with teeth that can chew through furniture

    That's why you get a cat tree or something. They need to scratch their nails on stuff.

    Ah yes. Some cats will prefer furniture, regardless. It's like they have their own minds or preferences.

    I love cats. I like dogs well enough, if they come with responsible and conscientious care-givers. I don't want another, I prefer the freedom of coming and going as I please, without the cost and time obligations. I don't want to have to choose between crating, to protect against accidents and misbehavior, should I be delayed, for unavoidable incidences, which punishes the dog and leads to further disregulation and misbehavior. Let a neighbor feed the cats or have a gravity feeder and water station, and they're good on their own for a day or two.

    I've been looking after a neighbor's cats, while they were out of town. Good on them to ask me, since there was a medical emergency that delayed their return, by several days.

    honestly I dont think cats should be alone for 8 hours or longer... recently went to grab some mail for someone as a favor and they went out of town for a few days and left their cat. Poor guy was crying and was so happy to see me 😭 I felt so bad that I had to leave him alone.

    Dog owners have told themselves they have to put up with all the dog stuff and deep down they hate it.

    Guess who never has to go out in the rain to watch their dog shit on their sidewalk? Or then have a wet fucking dog romping through the house? Me with my 3 cats who shit in a box without being trained and clean themselves multiple times a day.

    Yeah it can be annoying and frustrating. But I can tell you that my dog was on vacation with my parents for two weeks and I missed her so much. They're just worth all the annoying parts.

    Not even going to lie here, you’re probably right. I might as well be having children for this amount of effort

    Ideally you should never have to stand out in the rain while waiting for your child to shit on the sidewalk, but I might just not know enough about parenting

    but like... there is keeping stuff clean and then there is not letting your pets piss and shit on the floors and walls...

    not only is that person not cleanly, but they are not training their dog out of the behavior that's adding to the uncleanliness.

    some people just don't make sense to me.

    yea he has many issues really. likes to complain about how his life sucks(and ill admit, its not great) but he does nothing at all to better himself. He doesnt want a relationship at all either, mostly because he refuses to change. its weird.

    Hey we are all struggling, I’m the last one to say I’ve never let my depression spiral me into a slob phase. However, if there was a 50/50 shot I was cleaning up dog piss before I could even walk into my home, I would be losing my mind with anticipation every evening on my way home. That would just keep me in the mindset for longer.
