[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the reasons above are why we got cats instead. They don’t need walks, you don’t have to potty train them, they are not needy, technology has made it so you can get self cleaning litter boxes, and you can leave them for a few days by themselves, or longer if you can find someone to check on them once a day. Ours don’t meow or make noise and they cuddle and play with our kids. They do sometimes scratch the furniture (even with scratch pads) but we don’t care about that. Ultimately, to be a pet owner, you have to understand it’s an undertaking and there will be sacrifices to your home, and potentially your sleep, and more. I think dogs are more work than cats (depending on the personality of the pet). I love dogs but I understood I wouldn’t be the best dog owner considering we have busy lives and kids and cats made more sense for us. For some of us, the downsides of a pet are totally worth it, but you have to know if it is worth it to you.[/quote]
