Nothing wakes a cat owner faster than the sound of hyuk hyuk HYUK HYUUURK on the only piece of carpet in the house.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

my cat likes to fake hyuk ON THE BED and then turn and look at us like "so you're up! and my food bowl is mysteriously empty!"

I hope my cat doesn't learn that trick.

Idunno, my flatmate has a dog and he's never woken me up like that. The dog has though

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

True, but also no slop water drinking or wet dog smell. Give and take

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Lol, you got me... But my dog would die for me. It's my honor to walk her in the snow. In fact, I'm hardly even worthy.

My cat would die for me too. He's my little one-eyed one-brain-cell angel

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 11 points 1 day ago

My cat went up against a dog that was twice his size because it was fucking with our other cat. He didn't even like our other cat.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

My cat would kill for me. Innocent people. Minding their own business.

[–] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

Did you copy paste my cat? He is an orange pirate as well

This but with my cat standing on my chest screaming in my face for no reason

[–] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 55 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Lucky. Your cat faces you while standing on your chest screaming its head off. I wake up to the 'ol one eye winker.

On occasion though, that pic is accurate and so worth it.

As someone with both, I actually really appreciate that my dog forces me out on regular walks.

[–] Metostopholes@midwest.social 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yep, without my dog there are days I would not get out of bed, and feel like shit because of it. Even if it's winter, it's good for my mental health.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Agreed, my dog has probably kept me significantly more physically and mentally healthy than I would be without him.

My dog doesn't have a shit box in my house that I have to clean constantly. That makes up for the 3 months it's a little cold out.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 2 days ago (17 children)

Are you saying you don't clean up after your dog? Otherwise, you're cleaning up shit daily. Litter boxes are not typically cleaned daily(constantly) and they make auto litter boxes that clean themselves.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Litter boxes are not typically cleaned daily

Your house smells like cat shit, you are simply nose blind to it. Please clean up after your cat shits.

Is scooping poo out of a box daily really any worse than bagging it up on a walk daily?

I wish my cats would nap with me like that, but it's my fault for not getting them used to it when they were kittens. They'll stay put for a minute under my arm and then dart off the bed.

[–] stray@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I was surprised my cats weren't sitting on my lap, so when they were close to two years old I started holding them captive for very short periods while petting them how they like, and now I can't keep them off me. It seemed like the only reason they weren't sitting on humans before is that they didn't think it was safe.

The dog can go run out back and shit, I'll pick it up in the spring.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

that's a long time to leave a dog outside

this is fake news. puppygirls for example do not like going out in blizzard.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (19 children)

I've owned most of the common furry pets (except guinea pigs and rats) and there's unique challenges with taking care of each of them. What is burdensome is also different for each person.

I love cats but I don't think I'd adopt another. I don't want to catproof my shelves nor my plants. I don't want to smell kitty litter either.

I love rabbits but same thing. I don't want to rabbitproof my house. I don't want to clean litter boxes. And most importantly, I don't want the hassle of finding someone to take care of them when I'm gone.

I love dogs and will probably stick to dogs. I like going on walks and sitting in the yard. I don't mind drying his paws off when it rains or walking the yard weekly to pick up his turds.

All pets are great. Animal companionship is the best.

Eliminating pests and guarding home if they are traditional. Social media influencers if they are new gen.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

On a weekend?

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You're funny. The cat woke me up for food is the reason the dog got to pee outside before the sun came up.
