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.
Make it 5, and only one or two are screaming. The rest are nipping at my fingers or nose, throwing paws in my mouth or on my eyes, or circling around my legs. All because we want breakfast, and breakfast time is "whenever moms alarm goes off, or we wake her up".

As someone with both, I actually really appreciate that my dog forces me out on regular walks.
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.
Agreed, my dog has probably kept me significantly more physically and mentally healthy than I would be without him.
But your cat "gets" you
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
My cat would kill for me. Innocent people. Minding their own business.
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.
Did you copy paste my cat? He is an orange pirate as well

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.
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.
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?
Especially with big dogs where you're picking up fresh, steaming, human-sized turds with nothing but a few microns of plastic between it and your hand.
For big dogs, I wear boots and kick the dookie into a fine mist against my neighbors houses as a disposal method. I have warrants in 3 states.

Why don't we just train dogs to use a litter box? 🤔
Or a toilet? One of my previous cats used the toilet all on her own. If she could figure it out without help, surely training a dog should be easy enough.
I trained my dog on a litter box. She only pees in it. I'm very glad I did.
However, I'm fortunate enough to have a basement I could put it in where it's out of sight.

Nothing wakes a cat owner faster than the sound of hyuk hyuk HYUK HYUUURK on the only piece of carpet in the house.
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 wanna play pspspspstation so bad rn.
- that cat
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.

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.
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.
Aww, yeah, cats are like that. It speaks volumes of people who can earn their complete trust.
That's not my case here, as we treat them with utmost respect. I actually have all of them on my bed right now, but they just don't tolerate being cuddled that close. One of them does like kneading and sleeping on us, but It has to be on his terms or he doesn't want it.

Mine sleeps with me but will randomly start clawing at my neck while purring in the middle of night.
I think she thinks that's "petting."
That's kneading. Kittens will knead at their mother's stomach while nursing, and adult cats usually continue the behavior to a lesser or greater degree. Some do it subtly and gently, and others are made of knives.

The dog can go run out back and shit, I'll pick it up in the spring.
Having whippets, i can tell you that they would rather stop drinking and eating, that go out in weather like that (and rain too)

cats: hate rain
dogs: hate rain
me: hates rain
all of us: have fucking jobs, who the hell is lounging around in bed all damn morning
On a weekend?
Your pets have jobs?
Eliminating pests and guarding home if they are traditional. Social media influencers if they are new gen.
I'd rather not have cat poop in my houses air.
Dogs poop in the house sometimes too. Anything living will poop in your house if you let it in for long enough. It's nice they are considerate enough to go in a box and not in the floor

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