Dunno how dog people do it, srs

I like dogs

I've had dogs

Cats, imo, are just way more convenient

You gotta plan your whole damn day around a dog unless you have a fenced in yard and doggy door. I don't know how apartmentcels do it.

Cats you can just leave some food and water for, and they just chit in their box and relax

How do you people do it? Dogs are such needy animals.

My personality is definitely more cat. We hang out, talk for a bit, then go our seperate ways.
I'm back, bitches!

I dunno brah. I hate cats srs.

I’ll admit I’m biased because I’m allergic, but to me they’re disgusting creatures more akin to a wild animal, while dogs are truly man’s best friend. They’re needier because they want to interact with us. They serve a purpose in guarding our homes, warning us of outside danger, working and providing emotional support through a mutual bond.

Cats are just lazy entitled phucks. They don’t work for anything. They don’t contribute anything to a family household. All they do is consume, scratch up furniture and chit in the house. Which, by the way, litter boxes are the filthiest fuking things. I would never own a cat for that reason alone. I have family members who owned cats and you’d find clumps of liter and tracks all over their carpet. The cat was pissing and chitting in the box, walking all over their waste and tracking it throughout the house. At least dogs have the courtesy and intelligence to do their business outside.

As a guy with a dog, I think about this all the time srs

Dogs need so much attention, the reality is that if you work a full time job and have a life, your dog is being under-stimulated. Dogs are social creatures and need you for absolutely everything. Most people who have dogs probably shouldn’t have dogs

Cats are pretty low maintenance-if you have a cat-flap you don't even bother having to let them in & out. They don't sit there barking all day annoying you/the neighbours, they don't need constant attention/affirmation etc.

Yeah it takes alot of effort but it's all worth it because unconditional love.

I take my dog on a good walk once per day minimum but my dog is weird and doesn't like going far away from the house. He's scared of like everything. I have a fenced in back yard so he goes out there and runs around whenever he wants.

So it's kind of nice in a sense that he's low effort, but sucks cause he's not adventurous so I don't take him on mountain hikes and stuff like I did with my old dog. He would rather be in the back yard chewing sticks otherwise he just gets stressed out.

Yeah I feel bad for my dogs all the time. When I was married, they had a stay-at-home mom. Then we get separated and I end up with the dogs (whom I love very much) and I leave them every day to go to work. Go home for lunch every day to play with them for an hour, then they get all evening and night with me. But they signed up for a stay at home parent, and its honestly the only bitter feelings I still hold toward the ex, that she abandoned the dogs.

We are collecting a puppy on sunday. On any given day, one of us is WFH, the puppy will have a 2 year old kid to grow up with and 40 acres to run around on.

The puppy is going to be just fine.
Screw nature; my body will do what I DAMN WELL tell it to do!

The only dangerous thing about an exercise is the person doing it.

They had the technology to rebuild me. They made me better, stronger, faster......

Adult dogs are pretty low maintenance, they’re good at controlling their bathroom needs especially if you have a decent routine

Walks and dog park visits are good ways to get fresh air, bit of cardio, socializing and meeting neighbours — walking dogs was the only reason we met neighbours in the last spot

Cats will absolutely murder anything smaller than them that had the audacity to be in the same domicile.

One knock I've seen against cats is they're not affectionate, but if you've had a cat since it was young, you know that isn't the case. They'll love the **** out of you, just not to an annoying degree (usually).

Cats are very affectionate-but they can turn from begging for fusses, to scratching you when they have had enough in seconds.

This.

I agree 100% Opie, I love dogs, but I really don't see myself getting a dog anytime soon, especially since we plan on minimum 2 week family vacations out of the country once per year. As much as I'd like a dog, that would make it nearly impossible to do .

They got pretty awesome boarding places these days man. Every dog I've ever had was excited to go to the place we use. Happy when we dropped them off, happy when we picked them up.

I find people who have a lot of dogs like the drunken mongoloid next door or my buddy are typically low life’s . Both have three dogs , and no life whatsoever.
I’m ok with one maybe ,but in my case I never know if I’ll find another job and have to work out of town

The driveway was a dirt road for the farms, that has since been paved and had a proper gate added. At over 1/4 mile long, with trees between us and the street, we are invisible to the rest of the world.

GSDs are major work, just be aware. Also don't plan on having any grass in your backyard.

I love my dog and we're bonded really well but she's a tremendous amount of work. You need to absolutely weave the dog into your lifestyle. If you're more of a laid back, hands off 'cat' person, then there's nothing wrong with getting a cat if you want a companion animal. I also have a cat and he doesn't do schit. He just sits around all day being fat. I can literally leave for days and he wouldn't care because he schits in a sandbox and has an automatic feeder.

Like other large working breeds, your average n00b dog owner should never get a German Shepherd. They're fantastic pooches but they need a lot of training and experience. It's also unfortunately that type of person that causes some of these large powerful dogs to do unnecessary damage.
*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

I bet when you get back home, your cat is near the door going "Hey motherfukker, what you been up to?".

Last 2 cats we had were bengal cats, (both azz holes) they would shoot diarrhea chits all over the walls, wrecked our window blinds, one also killed my wife’s Persian cat.
Wife had to stop me from killing it when I caught it wall chitting. Thing flipped out, scratched, bit, and chit all over me when I grabbed it.

So I’m standing there, with my blood and the cat’s diarrhea dripping down my arms. Had it’s neck in one hand, grabbed it’s head with the other, with the intention of pulling it off. Wife panicked grabbed my wrists begging me not to kill it.
Gave her a time frame (I forget how long) on when both had to be gone.

Our vet contacted someone who took both of them soon after.

I did have a cool cat before them for 18 yrs though. He was just a shelter cat. If I could have guarantee that a cat would be like him. I’d be ok with it. But after the 2 bengals and the Persian that we had after him. I think I’m done with cats.



Also STRONG user name to post subject.

You gotta plan your whole damn day around a dog unless you have a fenced in yard and doggy door. I don't know how apartmentcels do it.

Cats you can just leave some food and water for, and they just chit in their box and relax

How do you people do it? Dogs are such needy animals.

My personality is definitely more cat. We hang out, talk for a bit, then go our seperate ways.
I'm the exact same way. Cats are where it's at.
