    Dogs are so overrated that people who cannot take care of a dog think they should get a dog and then the dog has a sad life. I totally agree, even though I love dogs.

      Yeah, I love dogs too but I just refuse to get one until I have 1. a garden (if it ever happens) and 2. enough free time to go on long walks with him daily.

        Same here. I hear that some dogs do well in apartments but I want my dog to have the garden option as well.

    lol When shit hits the fan, they don't send in the rescue cats.

    And another thing: I haven't locked my front door in 20 years. Why should I? I have the best home security system money can't buy. And these two are pretty great to hang out with when they're not terrorizing potential perpetrators who knock on my door.

    Dogs are the best. Dog haters gonna hate. I get it. You're probably mad because you were denied the love of having a dog growing up, or whatever malady has caused you to hate on dogs and dog owners.

    Also, keep pretending your lesser pets are somehow better or make excuses to yourself as one does when they have these weird inferiority complexes (example: "I own a cat but he's just like a dog." lol no, he's not).

    Anyhow, go to the pound and get yourself a dog. You'll be a better person for it.

      I haven’t seen such a passionate take on cats vs dogs since I was in elementary school

        They hate staring in the face of the truth. It's cool. Their canine-fueled disdain tastes like candy to me. It's probably all the fumes they breathe in from changing litter boxes. They keep hoping it'll pay off and that the feral animal they share company with will one day show an ounce of loyalty - but that day never does come. And then their stuck telling themselves its cool because Mittens can sometimes do human-like shit with her claws.

        Yawn.

        I'll take an animal who loves my family so much, it'll do everything, including committing the ultimate sacrifice, in order to ensure all of our safety. Speaking of, I have a friend who previously worked in the coroner's office in her town. Ask her what's the difference between dogs and cats and she'll tell you: dogs remain loyal to the end and beyond while cats won't waste any time in retooling their owner into Fancy Feast.

      My current dog is the least smartest one I've both ever had and ever known. She has really weird ticks sometimes that are impossible for me to control, but when she wants to be a lovebug she is great at it. She is a rescue dog and we don't know her past, all I can do is comfort and console her when she gets worked up over seemingly nothing. It's rough but I love her, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body but she definitely has some issues.

    It's weird to me how dogs are so obsessed with their owners. Like, get a life, dogs.

    A cat has its own agenda, which i can respect a lot more. It will come find you when it wants affection, but it's otherwise happy to do its own thing.

    Cats are domesticated, but not cucked. A dog has had cuckoldry bred into its DNA.

    they fucking are. they're often nice & i know lots i like, but I'm relatively certain they're outnumbered by shit dogs & shit owners.

    unironically the qualification for dog ownership should be high as fuck (free tho) if you're not willing to train your dog to not bite passerby & harass mail carriers you shouldn't fucking have one.
