Those look to be mourning doves, a very common backyard bird throughout the US. They don't get very large, but they can puff up considerably when it's cold.

I really want this:


but am aware that I would be a terrible family for a dog, so am happy with my cats. Cat know when you need company, but don't always need it from you. Dogs always want to be company because they always need it.

Exactly! When I had a cat, he'd always know when I needed someone to chill with, and he'd loaf up on the top of my computer chair, or nap with me. Other times, he'd go be an idiot chasing a piece of paper (he was not a very smart cat) on his own. That's the level of commitment on both parts I can handle. A dog I would just let down.

You're feeding them so they'll stick around, especially since it's winter - mourning doves usually migrate for the winter, but if there's food available (i.e. bird feeders) they'll tough it out much further north than normal. Also a popular game bird, they're super common and I can attest from personal experience that they can taste pretty good.

When I kept rats, and I'd introduce small baby rats to big rats, sometimes I'd see little rats fight big ones, who would roll over and go OH NO YOU GOT ME YOU ARE SO TOUGH and I never found it not hilarious and sweet.

I didn't realize I thought this about myself and dogs until now, but I have to be honest with myself. It's true. I would not be a good dog owner, and I would not be able to handle the guilt of emotionally scarring one of the most pure and loyal creatures on this planet, one whose entire existence is centered on you.

That's too much pressure, man. My relationship with my cat feels a lot more like one with a person, a level at which I am comfortable.

i learned it's # of cat boxes = number of cats + 1, and you need to clean it (number of cats) times a day.

that gets out of hand with like 2 cats, and most cat people seem to have at least 2

Dogs really shouldn't smell like that. They're probably eating cheap food, they may have some sort of food or environmental allergy that is affecting the health of their skin, or if they are particularly loose skinned dogs they may have yeast infections. But yea, healthy dogs usually don't stink.

How does 'rolled in something at the dog park' factor into your calculus.

I was raised by crazy cat people. My parents had 11 rescues at one point, although that was 10 years ago so theyre down to 4 or 5 now. People who came over would be shocked that the house didnt smell at all.

We had 3 boxes that were all cleaned 3 times a day. Not just scooped, but actually cleaned. My step father was/is OCD (in a good way?) about all things cleanliness. On top of that his cats were trained.

The cats spent most of the daytime outside until my step father did his 5:30pm dinner yodel. Each one was fed specific portions of specifc food at the exact same times every day. They each had their own bowl and would line up accordingly.

He's the only man, nay person, I know with an actual subscription to Cat Fancy magazine.

He does make me feel extraordinarily inadequate in the kitchen tho.

These are great. Earlier this year I watched the video where he bought a $1 knife and sharpened it like mad. His skills (and his cats) are really something.
