Yeah, I don't want something that needs to be constantly loved. Cats are just cuter too.Zhukov said:Cat person reporting for duty.
Dogs are too... dependant. Cats are cool with just doing their own thing and just stopping by for a feed and a pat.
If I drop dead on the lounge room floor, a dog will (well, might) alert the neighbours with its mournful howls. A cat will eat my corpse.
I find it funny that you think that buy have the Piller men as your AvatarRabbitboy said:Most dogs I encounter on the street try to run towards me and bark at me. And I just want to kick their teeth out. I never had a problem with cats.
WHAT. I need one of these. The only reason I don't have like 12 cats right now is because my boyfriend is allergic. We don't live together, but I still refrain from getting one (or 12) so he isn't allergic to me when we're together. I think I can handle the maintenance and energy of a dog, but one thing I can't bring myself to tolerate is the smell. I'll cuddle with a cat all day and night, but dogs just have that smell that's on them all the time. I can never cuddle a dog with as much affection as a cat because of that.ron1n said:Just get a Catdog. Aka Japanese Spitz:

Cleans herself like a cat and has no odor.
Happy social personality of a dog and loves people+other animals.
Looks like some kind of fox. And foxes are clearly awesome.
You'll actually find most of the Spitz family breeds don't stink due to the nature of their double coats. Can't speak for similar breeds, but the Jap Spitz in particular has this weird coat that literally repels dirt. I thought it was a hoax when I first read about it, but it's actually true. My Kumi can get dirty as hell, and 15 minutes later when she's dried, she'll be clean, because reasons.Lilani said:But if this breed has no odor like you say...I think I may have found our future pet, lol.
Thanks a lot! I am in America and I've heard of the Japanese Spitz, but I think that's only from watching overseas dog shows. I will think about the Eskimo, thoughron1n said:You'll actually find most of the Spitz family breeds don't stink due to the nature of their double coats.

Coat is super low maintenance as a result and they are meticulous self-groomers. The ONLY major downside is they shed a fair bit so something to be aware of. Otherwise, just have to give them a brush once or twice a week and a bath maybe 2-4 times a year and they stay clean and nice smelling.
If you are in America, you may find it tricky getting a Japanese Spitz as it isn't technically a recognized breed over there. Instead you have the American Eskimo which for all intensive purposes, is the same breed. (Hence why Jap Spitz isn't recognized as it's too similar to the Eskimo)
