Well folks, I found an IRL cat hater!

Genuinely took me off guard when she said that.

She also snarled in disgust when I showed her a picture of one of the sweet heart strays in my neighborhood.

.....Probably coming off as a fake post, but no, I'm being serious!

Dog owners have told themselves they have to put up with all the dog stuff and deep down they hate it.

Guess who never has to go out in the rain to watch their dog shit on their sidewalk? Or then have a wet fucking dog romping through the house? Me with my 3 cats who shit in a box without being trained and clean themselves multiple times a day.

I lived on a big giant farm with some dogs for a bit. Dogs rock in that scenario. Dogs are country animals

That’s very fair. Having the space to let them run off the energy is huge.

Yeah it can be annoying and frustrating. But I can tell you that my dog was on vacation with my parents for two weeks and I missed her so much. They're just worth all the annoying parts.

I don’t doubt that at all, it’s just not for me. I get the same feeling from my cats after a long work day.

Different strokes for different folks.

Not even going to lie here, you’re probably right. I might as well be having children for this amount of effort

[–] average@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That’s why I’m not having children either lol

Ideally you should never have to stand out in the rain while waiting for your child to shit on the sidewalk, but I might just not know enough about parenting

[–] ByteFoolish@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's the problem with kids these days. All of this gentle parenting stuff

Right. Back in my day we shat on the sideawalk uphill both ways, rain or shine. We didnt have “supervision”

my friend i lived with(and i had my 1 cat too) always complains about "cats shit inside!"

Guess what his pit bull does literally everytime i go over there? it pisses right on the floor. how does he clean it up? with an absolutely disgusting towel.

[–] average@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ew holy shit… that’s fucking vile.

[–] StalinsGiantSpoon@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yea its kinda tough visiting there. when i lived there i guess i was the only one keeping stuff clean(and he didnt have the piss bull then)

[–] average@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

but like... there is keeping stuff clean and then there is not letting your pets piss and shit on the floors and walls...

not only is that person not cleanly, but they are not training their dog out of the behavior that's adding to the uncleanliness.

some people just don't make sense to me.

[–] StalinsGiantSpoon@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yea he has many issues really. likes to complain about how his life sucks(and ill admit, its not great) but he does nothing at all to better himself. He doesnt want a relationship at all either, mostly because he refuses to change. its weird.

Hey we are all struggling, I’m the last one to say I’ve never let my depression spiral me into a slob phase. However, if there was a 50/50 shot I was cleaning up dog piss before I could even walk into my home, I would be losing my mind with anticipation every evening on my way home. That would just keep me in the mindset for longer.
