Lesbians famously have several dogs, what?
The inability to know the difference between "one" and "on".
Who knows. I'm straight and I don't care for a dog's energy at all, which is unfortunate because nearly every dog I meet really loves me. They're just not my thing. They're stiff, they're clacky, they're clumsy, and they stink. They climb up and try with all their strength to get their mouths/noses right up in my face, and I hate it.
I am nice to them, though. Don't get me wrong. They don't know that I don't like them.
I prefer Cats
The cats are taking over, obviously
A dog is much closer to a child than a cat. A cat is closer to a goldfish than a child.
They don't really compete in my opinion, they are totally different class of animal when it comes to maintenance and effort needed to keep them happy.
I'd also argue than the bond you can develop with a dog is far greater and deeper than a cat, but that's more subjective.
Cats are not a monolith. They have a wide range of personalities and emotions. I have a cat that is very emotionally needy, not very unlike many dogs. He needs attention and pets and lap time.
As a cat person I agree. That's why I have cats, they're simply simpler. I let them outside when they want to go out, then they may come back a few minutes later or a few days later (adopted a former stray cat and she still loves longer walks when the weather is nice). I feed them and clean their litter box.
When I'm not at home for a weekend and it's not winter I put a lot of food there and they're fine (usually outside since they prefer that). When I'm away for longer, or in the winter, I ask one of my neighbours to look after them every other day. When they are gone and I'm at home I do that for them too of course.
In return I get to see how happy they are and get to cuddle them. In the evening they come in my bed, loudly purring of course. When it's cold in the winter they jump on my lap.
Comparatively low effort for a high reward :)
Yep totally fair. Both animals have their pros and cons, I just don't like people pitting them against each other.
