Poll: Are you a Cat or Dog person?

[Blindswordmaster]

I'm a dog person and frankly, I fucking hate cats.
A question to cat owners: We train dogs to shit outside, so why do you let your cat shit in a box inside of your house? Doesn't make sense to me.

Why do people who own rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, etc. let their pet poop in a box that's indoors, huh?

Anyway, I'm not really that much of a cat person anymore (I've owned and taken care of both cats and dogs with my family), I'm more of an every-animal-except-dog kind of person. I do have a cat right now as well, but most of my pets are invertebrates and I'm planning to make this the last cat I own before I switch over to birds as my "main" pets.

Edit: Correction, I sort of misread the post.

Doesn't answer my question as to why you would allow an animal shit in your house.

Because I'm an animal (Homo sapiens sapiens) and I shit in the house. Outhouses went out of style a while ago, we have toilets inside nowadays you see.

Some cats (not all) and other pets have difficulties using toilets designed for humans, therefore they have toilets specifically designed for them and they often work. The only inconvenience is that they're usually not flushable.

So your cat is better than you? Alright, I think I get it.

You had to think about that little you're vs. your question for a while before editing your post, didn't you? I haven't slept in two days and English isn't my native language, now what's your excuse?

Fuck you. I mistyped. It happens. I'm human. I make mistakes. At least I don't walk around like my shit don't stink. At least I cared enough to go back and fix it, dick.

*snrk* Cute. Really cute.

Anyway, one thing I've noticed about devout dog people is that they tend to approach every animal like a dog and declare it boring and aloof after five minutes of trying to unsuccessfully make it fetch a ball for them. I also hear about it a lot that "cats just lash out at you out of nowhere" but seriously, you don't get scratched if you actually know how a cat acts. I've known a lot of dog people who wouldn't approach a stranger's dog when it growls at them, yet don't think too much about reaching towards a cat's underside when the cat's tail is twitching or when it's licking itself. And so they get scratched. Cats, like dogs and all animals, have their own list of dos and don'ts and they show their affection and disapproval in their own way. It's really basic stuff.

And sure, there are incredibly stupid cat people as well -- I myself can't even breathe the same air as a cat breeder without getting annoyed -- but one thing that's good about cat people is that they rarely approach someone else's pet carelessly and blame it when it doesn't appreciate it.

I love how you assume that I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't know how to act around animals.

It wasn't aimed at you in particular. I have no idea what you're like around animals.

I'm sorry about that one, this whole thread has just sent a huge hair up my ass. I apologize for my earlier rudeness, I will no longer post on this thread. Thank you, and have a nice day.
