Dogs are too big, smelly, and have big long sloppy tongues that like to lick you. Ew. They are also very loud. And they take shits on your lawn. I'm fairly particular about my "personal bubble," and dogs have a real habit of aggresively invading that space.
Coincidentally, the only dogs I like are small dogs that don't have big sloppy tongues, don't smell, and aren't loud. I realize this disqualifies 98% of dogs, but I have met a dog or two in my time that I didn't mind.
Haha!! Yeah, don't get a dog.
One thing dogs have over cats is loyalty. Cats will go where ever there is food. Cats are definitely easier to take care of. Owning a cat is a only few steps up from owning a gold fish - you feed it and it goes outside or under the bed. Oh and you have to change the aquarium...er...kitty litter.
Owning a dog is like having a special needs child. You actually have to pay attention to the dog and spend time with it.
I'm not shitting on cats, or praising dogs - they're just two different animals. They are what they are.
Halifax has just recently passed a bylaw banning cats from being allowed to freely roam outdoors. People complaining about cat shit in their gardens and what not. I think it's a stupid bylaw personally. First of all it's hardly practical - how exactly does the city intend on enforcing this bylaw?
Secondly, if you have cat shit in your garden leave it. It's part of nature and will probably do your garden good.
On a side note, I was standing outside my place having a smoke when all I heard for like 5 minutes was a huge cat fight. This was loud.
I wish I could have seen it. Sounded like one hell of a fight. lol
