Second CIS, cat loving man here.
Dogs are cool, too; I like dogs. But I prefer cats. Pound for pound, cats are twice as bad-ass as a dog, which is why dogs can only really compete by forming into packs. Which, when they do, is a huge force multiplier, but still. Iβm not having a pack of dogs in my house, so to maximize local bad-ass-ness in my house, I have cats.
I like how your choice of pet is purely based on how powerful the aura of the animal is lol.
Third. Cat person from a family of mostly dog people. Dogs just seem too pushy, like the annoying kids in the playground who wonβt leave you alone, or the vapid extroverts talking cocaine-infused bullshit at parties.
Also, they (like most animals) stink; as far as cats go, thereβs something to be said for domesticating solitary ambush predators that spent their entire evolutionary history hunting by stealth and subsisting off prey with a strong sense of smell.
