People who don't work with plants don't realize this, even some who do don't realize it, but plants are some of the most spiritual creatures around. The energy and love you give them, they'll give it back ten-fold. If you're patient enough to see it, plants can be every bit as emotive as cats and dogs. Just because you've never taken the time to try and understand a plant, doesn't mean that it has nothing of value to offer you.Ragsnstitches said:

They might be boring, but I need less tension in my life; not an animal that wants to play all the time or eat all of my food on sight.

The reason why I don't like cats can be summed up in the litter box. I can pretty much always smell it, and the smell makes me want to vomit on the few occasions where I've had to clean one. That works IF the cat bothers to use the litterbox, I had a cat who would sit in the litterbox and poop outside it just to spite us. Worstly, litter boxes tend to have these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasmosis. They reprogram your brain to like the smell of cat urine.
Want to let your cat outside, unsupervised? Be prepared to deal with a whole other set of parasites and diseases. Also, your cat will contribute to the decline of songbird populations.
I guess you can always walk your cat on a leash, though... for what that's worth. http://cats.about.com/cs/behavioralissues/ht/leashtrain.htm
I'd honestly rather go pet free. Presented with an either or, but not neither scenario, I'll pick the dog. Dog poop is less gross because they don't need as much animal matter, and you can get a breed that house trains well.
Just a reminder, clean your cat box DAILY, and provide one box per cat per level of your house.

Yeah thats what im saying, duh. Dogs are a lot like people, you can actually DO things with them. Cats are just a chore. They come home, whine, you feed them. They come and whine some more, so you open the door, then they change their minds like little bastards and walk away.Amy Sorel said:Mcface said:
Good luck with that... Not all dogs are a fighting machine.
I have enough of those from my own species, i don't need a dog to be entertained like that.
Also, a boyfriend doesn't HAVE be taken out for a walk twice a day, and i also don't have to watch him take a dump. At least cats can take a dump in private.
Humans have their own police and military, using animals for our own protection is just lazy. I'll give you drug dogs because their nose is better then ours.
And military dogs sniff out explosives. Also, we had a dog that was in Afghanistan who stopped a suicide bomber from entering a barracks. The dog knew he wasn't supposed to be there, and went after the guys throat. The guy panicked and blew himself up too early. The dog died a few days later from injuries, but he saved the lives of a dozen soldiers. Now that's a damn fine animal.
Also, i don't consider those little shits to be dogs. And unlike my girlfriend, my dog dosen't ***** and nag, or ask me to watch 16 and pregnant.
Dogs. I don't like the thought of cats jumping up and putting their nasty feet and butts on every surface in the house. My dogs are pretty well trained, not allowed on the furniture unless invited and a gate keeps them out of the kitchen and dining room.
I prefer dogs. I am of the belief that, as a rule, cats should not be kept as pets and that people who insist otherwise are suffering from some sort of awful black magic.
Cats punish the body directly (five of six ends of a cat are pointy), and indirectly (they tend to be most active during the time I'm trying to sleep). They're hilariously picky. They are incredibly difficult to train. They only accept contact on their terms. As far as I'm concerned, a cat is best enjoyed when photographed on the rare instances where they are not engaged in destroying lives and spreading misery.
My dog on the other hand will faithfully accompany me on any adventure no matter my mood. Were I to charge into the very gates of hell, I'm quite certain she would be more than happy to make the journey with me. Plus, she doesn't cause severe allergic reactions simply by virtue of existing, though I could do without the fact that she loves rolling around on my black wool coat seemingly for the sole purpose of adding extra insulation in the form of fur.

That still doesn't explain why i would want to do all those things with a smelly creature like a dog when i can do all that and more with humans. I don't need a pet for any of that.Mcface said:
Plus, my friends don't walk around sniffing eachothers butts, they don't bark at strangers, or worse, thinking every random person on the street = friend, and smelling, jumping up and licking them for no reason.
Please, don't go explaining what cats are like when you obviously only look at them in negative. As if dogs don't whine at every oppertunity.
A damn fine animal. And there's enough examples of dogs who the owner thought was a fine animal too who never hurt anybody, but suddenly thought the kid from next door also 'wasn't supposed to be there', and went after the kid's throat.
Tell me how many housecats have ever killed an innocent human being?
Then marry your dog.
Dogs. Definatly dogs. Granted, I love all animals, but the four dogs sleeping in the kennel outside kinda speak for themselves =P
Only partly joking. I really do not care for cats. Some people do. Since I dislike cats so much, the easiest way of rectifying these things in my brain is to assume black magic is involved.Amy Sorel said:
I mean, cats have often been associated with the craft, so at least my theory has a bunch of backward crackpot ideas to support it.
I'm more of a general animal person myself. I have 2 cats, but no dogs since my mom has a general dislike for them. I have friends who have awesome dogs, though.
