Indoor cats are hosed. I like cats but not indoor cats, they're annoying and crazy and neurotic not unlike a caged animal.

my two cats are sisters and were born inside and are deathly afraid of what lies beyond the front door, much like myself

Cats are almost all cute while dogs are almost all really ugly. Not saying all dogs are ugly but way too many of the common pet dogs look like poo poo. Luckily the dog my mom plans to adopt in the future is one of the cute ones.

Maybe we're all looking at this study the wrong way. Maybe it's saying that cat furries are smarter than dog furries.

It's a bit ironic that the only place cats are actually useful is in the country, but it's people in tiny apartments that are lonely that always get cats.

take a look overhead
My cat could go outside if she wanted, but she fears everything outside the condo, including the hallway. She has chosen to stay inside. She is happy inside, it's where the easy food and gas fireplace are. Outside is scary, full of cars and children. The only time she was relaxed outdoors was after a vet visit that shot her up with good drugs. That's another thing, cats appreciate drugs. They will eat cannabis plants and bask in pot smoke. As well they make great company during opiate trips, as they can lay near and be chill for hours at a time. Your dogs do that?

my gf likes rats and i was weirded out at first but they're actually pretty smart and enjoy human company. plus you can teach them tricks which automatically places them at least one tier higher than cats

Dogs are cool if you're retired and can afford to spend most of your days walking them around.

If you're gainfully employed and get a dog just so that you can leave it alone in your tiny lovely apartment just so that it whines and barks all day long, you're a hosed-up shitlord. Don't get a dog if you can't take care of it. Get a hamster in a cage or something.

Cats are cool if you live in the countryside.

If you live in a urban area and get a cat just so that it becomes neurotic from being cooped up all the time or let it go outside just so that it gets squished by traffic or poisoned by your creepy neighbors, you're a hosed-up shitlord. Don't get a cat if you can't give it a good place to live. Get a hamster in a cage or something.

There are dog breeds that don't need much activity and these breeds, usually smaller dogs to begin with, don't get depressive about spending time inside while you're at work either. I had a dog in my last apartment and she was cool with hanging out at home alone while I was at work. She never displayed any signs of stress like going to the bathroom in the house, destroying furniture, or anything like that... because I knew I needed to get a breed with low activity requirements.

Uggghhh... pretty much all animals respond favorably to drugs if they encounter them. Even dumb animals can get addicted to alcohol if they eat fermented fruit. But yeah, there are dogs that like getting high too.

we got a new dog from the shelter and hes big and loving lazy as poo poo. he goes into his crate when we put the 2 year old down for bed and doesn't come out until morning. then when he does, he takes his sweet rear end time and stretches and poo poo before he goes outside to pee. i left them outside today not realizing it was gonna rain i hope the screened porch door is propped open...

You find me a dog that can hotbox as well as my cat, and lay next to me for 10 to 12 hours at a stretch while i drift on oxy and I'll adopt/buy that fucker right now
I like dogs but i live in Condo, and hate small dogs. A dog living with me better be super loving cool to make up for that fact that I would have to take them out for walks and pick up their poo poo or be fined by the city.

My ex had a sheep dog that really liked weed. Whenever we smoked at her place it would always put its head in her lap and whine for hits. And most dogs are cool with laying around for 10 or 12 hours. And dogs that aren't will still do it if you trained them. That's the cool thing about dogs, you can train them to do almost anything. You can train dogs to use toilets or litterboxes(most dog breeds don't instinctively bury their poo poo though, so you'd probably need to change it everyday pretty much).

I'm not crazy about them and some of the toy breeds are hyper-neurotic(chihuahuas, beagles). A Labrador can deal with being alone in the day just fine. I've had two over the last ~20 years and neither was stressed out about being alone at home during the day.
