- Well do you agree or are you a dog person?
“Completely agree.” (That cats are better than dogs.) What do you think of this opinion? Let’s see what everyone else said.
“They don’t belong in an apartment cooped up” No, these would be dogs, that you need to take outside twice a day for half an hour at least and can’t leave unattended or they freak. I’ve raised many cats with no street access and they were absolutely fine and lived long, healthy lives. It’s ok to know nothing about cats if you’re a dog person, just letting you know that’s not the case. In my country of origin you won’t even be allowed to adopt a cat if you intend to let it out of the house (they can get run over, poisoned, lost or beaten/killed by a-holes).”
Agree 100%. They think cats are better than dogs.
Dogs exist to love you, cats exist for you to love them
I’ve had both. Couldn’t wrestle with my cats like I do with my big German shepherd. I tried walking my cats they hated it. Cats would sit and watch me be home invaded and killed. Probably lay on my face of my dead body.
Cats not instantly loving you is the best part because you have to earn their love. You have to care for it, respect its boundaries, and bond with the cat. Once it accepts you as it’s owner it will love you and you’ll share a connection with it that you could never with a dog.
Meh, matter of lifestyle. I have two dogs. Eldest is 8, his sister 7. They gave transformed my life. I’m sure I’d say the same thing about a cat. Only problem with cats, they are night time predators. They don’t belong in your apartment cooped up, but if you unleash them outside they destroy song bird populations. My dogs? They protect me on walks, hikes, in my home. They cuddle with me endlessly, sit by my side. I appreciate cats, but they don’t suit my lifestyle. I need a companion, not a friend.
It’s not either/or, Karen! I can love them both equally if I want to. Besides, ever try taking a cat on a camping trip? Or a road trip of any kind? Also litter boxes blow.
Cats, like dogs, are individuals and behave differently from one another. My cat was super chill and very cuddly. He never seemed particularly interested in going outside, and wouldn’t ever hurt a fly.
Course cats can and often are “nighttime hunters” but I feel like saying this is how all cats are just gives dog people reason to say cats are mean and too much of a handful.
Animals are only as friendly as you train and nurture them to be. If you ignore or abuse your cat or dog then they’re going to be a shitty animal. All these people complaining about cats scratching shit and bitting are the same people who treat them poorly in the first place. AND YES, I am aware that some animals are beyond help, so save the “BuT tHe CaT/dOg CaMe Up AnD bIt ME”.
Low maintenance, debatable, cuter, subjective, cuddlier, you can do that with small dogs too, and most of the time they hate being picked up
Definitely a cat person myself. The way I look at it is, dogs definitely have a higher ceiling as a pet, but the average cat is better than the average dog.
How is this an unpopular opinion? And a counter, “Are you
actually serious? Are you blind to the sheer vastness of dog-worshiping that goes on both on the internet and in real life? I actually can’t believe you think this is a popular opinion.”
