Plenty of straight men prefer cats too.

Obviously cats are better

Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.

Dogs are too energetic and overstimulating for me to be around. I’m fairly allergic to them as well, so I have a decent excuse for the people who insist their dog will be perfectly well-behaved and calm (they weren’t).

There are some really lazy breeds out there. Like great danes. They are giant couch potatoes. You will have to give up your couch though.

It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.

Thats why you always keep the claw trimmers around and if theyre too long you push on their toe beans a bit to expose the claw, and give it a little snip. You dont get hurt and the cat now has an objective to make them sharp again over the next few weeks

That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”

True, but that doesn’t help me espouse on the superiority of cats. How else will I gain Mittens’ approval?

You won’t. It’s a cat. Cats never approve. Cats don’t know affection.

What do bisexuals and asexuals prefer? Both or neither? And bold of you to assume straight women prefer cats. Ik way more straight women who prefer dogs than cats.

There’s a difference between a cat person and a catperson. I am definitely the latter.

Dogs are subservient. Cats are independent.

A person who prefers dogs might be someone who feels the need to exert control as a means of feeling in control themselves. OR they might simply be allergic to cats.

This isn’t a male-specific thing. Think of Karen with her purse-dwelling toy chihuahua mix with severe anxiety and multiple chronic disorders.

Dogs can’t help but like you, no matter how you treat them.

Getting a cat to like you, now, that’s something you can be proud of.

Honestly, fuck this assertion that you can somehow infer a person’s motivations and morals from what kind of pet companion they prefer. I’ve legit seen it argued that if you like dogs and don’t like cats, you’re “probably a rapist” because you “can’t understand consent.”

I enjoy cats. I don’t prefer to own one. Am I a monster because of this? How about, I just love my dog?

Then learn to clean a litter box. It’s leagues easier than the work dogs require.

Dogs are loving, cats are apathetic. People that grew up with loving parents prefer dogs as they are well equipped to provide the nurturing they themselves were given. People that were emotionally neglected as children prefer cats because that lack of bonding is familiar to them.

Wow, being pretty presumptuous there, aren’t we?

Notice how I said “might” in my comment and you didn’t?

Maybe prefering dogs causes people to lie about having a loving family growing up? Lol

i like to think of people who own pets as people incapable of being alone for even short periods of time, that or they just like having the company of them, it’s one of the two.
