Which do u prefer Cats or Dogs or Other ?

aidie

I grew up with dogs  from Cairn Terriers, hunting dogs, various mixes, and shih tzu s

my family, when i grew up always had a dog around to play with, and my cousins taught me how to use hunting dogs.

Nothing beats having a dog to hug when things went wrong.

They can also be a focus point/discussion point for low communicators

They also add some direct and close experience of another animal,  its biology, behaviours, and physiology.

My dogs where are always glad to see me especially if u go out to the shops and back u got a big welcome

My current dog, a male "blue" shih tsu, "Bacon", would dance around the house when i come home from somewhere.

But I have never really liked cats.

so which do you prefer.

which do you have

post any stories about your cat or dog

Having said all that their is a young couple who walk their ferrets on leads so if there are new companions out there mention them

  • I like cats, because I remember when I was really sad as a child, a cat just approached me and comforted me, and that made me feel better. Cats don't really like a lot of eye contact, and neither do I, and they can spend time by themselves, and don't like a lot of direct and intrusive socialization, and neither do I, so I feel like we'd get along easily. I also don't really enjoy going out too often unless I have to, so having a cat that just lounges around would be my ideal pet, because I like lounging around too. 

    I mean I like petting dogs, but they need a lot of outdoor walks and training, and they are like rockets of full of energy, and that is too much of an intense lifestyle for me to handle. I mean cats can be full of energy too, but I know that they'll just be in one place, which is my home, versus me having to take the dog here and there and make sure it knows this and that, and it's just something I know that I won't have much energy to do.
