I'm having an uninspired day so I asked Google to give me something to write about. It turns out that if you do that, you'll get link after link to articles and lists of topics to write on many of them geared at English majors. So, here's me picking the first doable one I saw: Dogs or Cats? Why?
The answer for me right now is Cats. They are small generally affectionate and moderately independent. Until the great feline revolution they need us to open cans, fill bowls, and operate faucets but other than that they can spend a day on their own if they have to without destroying the house or peeing everywhere. That isn't to say that they don't miss us when we are away more than they are used to, but the destruction tends to be less.
Beyond practical concerns though, I've always got on with cats. There's nothing better than cuddling up with a cat and a book. They'll cuddle up for hours. I love it when they mutter in their sleep or their paws twitch while they dream. Cats don't try to drag me outside to play or go for walk they a just happy to be near by.
Also, cats purr. There's nothing more comforting than a purring cat and dogs don't do anything like it.
I like dogs too though. Dogs just need more. They need to go outside a lot and they need us to be happy in a way cats don't. A dog is more responsibility. At this point in my life, I work long days and evenings and weekends are busy. I couldn't do right by a dog. May though, later in life when I'm home more, a dog might be nice. They need us more but I think sometimes they love us more too.
