Cats. I feel very strongly about this.

    I’m catsitting at the moment. Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of cleaning a trail of blood, listening to the deathscream of a mouse, to then listen to the cracking of bones as the cat ate the whole carcass.

    I too much prefer cats. But most cats I interact with are drawn to me, and cats I’ve owned act kinda like dogs. I’ve been called the cat whisperer many times. I like dogs too, but cats are kinda magical to me

    Got both.

    4 dogs 3 cats

    Had to choose? Keep both

    Dogs are a world ahead in terms of emotions and interactive brain. Cats are just overlords, they own the world and you exist for them.

    What not to love from both?

    I’m a sucker for just about everything non-human that moves.

    I will probably die trying to pet something I shouldn’t.

        I really want to argue against that point but you may be right lmao

        Wikipedia’s photo of them look like cute lil balloons but also says most are microscopic.

        I would totally pet a tardigrade though if there was a way to do so.

    Dogs, all day long. But have to be proper dogs, not little yappy-type dogs.

        I love looking after my sister’s dog, a big dumb lurcher, shes easy so far as dogs go, very lazy and not motivated by walks but 2 weeks was enough to verify I don’t want to own one. My two feline girls suit me just right.
