I see "good" dogs constantly jumping on people, scratching them, biting their fingers when they get too happy, barking at anything and everyone, and being entirely unpredictable. I personally really dislike dogs and I have never found an owner that actually keeps their dog from jumping on me.

Dogs are not inherently good and most are very dangerous.

I don't have to be cautious with my infant around cats, but I definitely do around dogs.

I’d say their owners are terrible, though. The dogs might not be well disciplined, but that really isn’t their fault.

(Unless the dog is aggressive. Then it might be. It also probably shitty owners, too.)

Bad cats are definitely an owner problem too though.

I mean I would still supervise it, I wouldn't trust an infant to not do something that would cause the cat to get stressed and scratch. Kid could easily lose an eye.

Of course, and I do. But I can at least be pretty sure the cat won't do anything unprompted. They just sit there until messed with.

Dogs are hyperactive balls of weight, teeth, and claws and they typically don't understand their own bodies and the harm they can cause.

Doggos are good, their owners suck ass. Also

Lemme just take a second to calm down, with all the stories of jealous cats literally murdering toddlers.

Edit: Also, to put more behind first part - I was a dog owner for a long time, had a big street mix doggo, lovable goofball but...when he liked someone, he worked like a bowling ball. Which with his mass actually even looked similiary if he was let free. But he wasn't let free often, because as an owner it was my job to make sure doggo doesn't bother other people - something a lot of folks apparently forget about.

"all these stories of jealous cats literally murdering toddlers" bro what.

Cats probably shouldn't be left unsupervised around babies (not should any animal, really) because they love sources of heat and could potentially cause a child to suffocate, but I found absolutely zero actual documented cases of this happening, let anyone any cases of any cat maliciously murdering a toddler.

The case of sleeping on child to death is new to me, quite interesting. But no - i literally mean cats ending children when parents start to focus more on the little one. However...I lived surrounded by this for quite a while, but I actually can't find much on the net too. I really hope this ends as some rumor.

[–] Callmesuperman 1 points 6 months ago

That is definitely not a thing that has happened.
