The Cookout

[eclipsed]

Most people I know are dog people. I like dogs but only certain breeds and I am fussy with them. Like I tend to only like my own. I have a German Shepherd. A friend of mine breeds them so he sold me a pup a few years ago for half price. He is a good dog. I have actually been partial to cats believe it or not. I do have those as well. Three of them. All males. I always liked the big wild cats but you can't own them for obvious reasons or I'd have a tiger. lol

What do you prefer when it comes to pets?

Dogs are great, but I found I'm more of a cat person. First thing, they're just so much easier to take care of, clean themselves, dont' require I take them out to use the bathroom and so on. Yeah I gotta deal with a litter box, but that's fine. Dogs are way tougher to train. Had a dog for a week and my mom couldn't handle it so we gave him to a neighbor friend.

But yeah, cats for me, for sure.

I like cats more, they are more of a roommate where a dog is co-dependent ball of hyper activity and joy. You walk in the door and a cat Is like:

“What’s for dinner?”

You walk in the door with a dog and it’s like:

So true haha

I've always been more of a dog person. I've never owned cats so I don't have that to compare it to but I love the companionship a dog brings.

I really like fish too. Not so much as a companion but more as a hobby. I always thought the science behind keeping the water balanced was pretty interesting and something I'd like to get into when I have the room for it.

Dog. I’ve always wanted a Boston Terrier or something.

We had a cat in the house for a few years, and she was straight up weird. She’d beg for your attention, then after you play with her for 30 seconds, she’s ready to attack you.

Sounds like it's time for you to build an aquascape.

Haha sounds like one of my exes. maybe yall wasn't understanding what she was trying to convey...she wasn't trying to play..she was telling yo ass to get up and cook.

She was letting you play with her in hopes you had the Whiskas on deck, once she saw that you didn’t she wanted you to kick rocks.

I didn't have any pets until I got older and now that I have a cat, I'm hooked. I don't think I'll have any other type of pet now lol

 

[Storm]

No pets here. I've had phases where I though about getting one but I like having a clean house so I snapped out of it real quick lol

 

[Deleted member 1946]

I don't have a pet, but I am seriously thinking about getting a puppy. I had a dog years ago. I couldn't afford to take care of him so I gave him to my aunt. The dog got loose, got ran over and got killed.

The ending hit me in the feels.

I've had cats and dogs. The kind of dog I wanted as a kid wouldn't the dog I would want now. The size, temperament and care of a dog has to fit not just you but your home.

I want a dog that will protect me or at least won't run away like some of these small toy dogs. A dog that is comfortable around water. Not too big though. There is a dog called Chesapeake Bay Retriever I wouldn't mind getting. The water part isn't as important but I intend to live near water hopefully when I retire one day or prior to.

I may just end up with a rescue from a shelter. And not care about the other things I want in a dog.

 

[Deleted member 1475]

I'm torn between cats or dogs. I don't really have to worry about feeding cats as much and cats just chill but I'd like to own a big dog for protection and company.

 

[sourgrapes]

I like all sorts for different reasons but the older I get, I realize I am a cat person. I like that they are independent but affectionate. They are clean, quiet, and mind their own business most of the time. They are also super smart. Best land hunters in the world too. Dogs are good for protection but they are more to manage. My boyfriend got his daughter a puppy for Christmas. It has been... something lol

I feel the same way with most of what you are saying. A dog is supposed to protect you. And not bite the owner when the owner did not deserve it.

I can't see myself with a cat. I have thought about it over and over again. I dont see it working for me. As long as you are happy, then it is fine.

BUNNIES.

I had lizards, an Iguana, a dog, fishies. Not all at the same time, but at different points.

I had fish as well. But mine died. And I sold the aquarium and the fish food. I never thought of owning a lizard or an iguana.

Bunnies?????? Do they make a good snuggle buddy? I see a lot of dog owners hugging dogs.

They aren't for everyone but you can't knock em till you spend time with them. Most people that don't like cats just haven't been around them enough.

I tried, but I don't like them jumping on my curtains or counters, so no.
The only cat I loved was Gino, my orange cat.
One of the elderly ladies on my bus route lost hers. She was so upset & distraught, I gave her Gino. I saw how happy they both were. She had more time & love to give him than we did.

If they really like you, yes. It's a prey animal, so you can't approach it like a dog or a cat.

I had 2 as a child. Quiet, loveable, soft & fun. ❤️
My Father was a cross country trucker & he'd always bring me something back from different states.
