Also because my cat is the cutest
On the whole, there was little evidence that T. gondii was related to increased risk of psychiatric disorder, poor impulse control, personality aberrations, or neurocognitive impairment.
I've had both over my life. Both have pros and cons.
As others have said, cats overall require less attention; both in interaction and maintenance. Our cats are really good about keeping house bugs to a minimum with their natural hunter instincts. Flies,moths and other critters don't last long. Also litter boxes are something I wish dogs could figure out lol.
Dogs are more social, so they'll need more from you. They need frequent outside time to run and exercise/bathroom. Most dogs don't care about catching bugs and critters like cats. However, if treated right, will defend the house to the death from intruders.
In my current situation, cats are better. If I had a much bigger, we'll fenced yard, I'd love to have a dog again.
Cats are independent and dogs are dependent. That's why I like cats better. I also don't want to deal with the death of a dog that I'd probably consider my best friend. No thanks.
He is asking why insanely much! I know a woman who has like 20 cats she doesn't even have time to spend with them and taking care of all them. But just because she loves cats she can have that many
They can be friendly if you treat them right and they're mostly low commitment.
Dogs need cuddles and pets daily. Cats can take care of themselves on a day-to-day basis.
With cats it feels like they just deal with you out of convenience. Dogs 100% love you and would die for you.
My cat actually acts a bit like a dog : follows me, wants pets, fiercely protective.
In short, they're like our siblings, minus the sibling rivalries.
