This reminds me, they now sell these collapsible litter boxes so that when they're full you just toss the whole thing out. Talk about lazy shit, as if cats weren't already a lazy man's pet.
lol, yeah ok. Cats generally don’t do anything for you no matter what, so cat owners have to do everything for themselves and the cat, but dog owners can train their dogs to go get the morning paper, open the fridge to get a beer, etc etc etc, where they can sit back in the recliner and watch the dog do the work. Maybe have a seat there guy.
As a man who owns cats and dogs…
Yeah, no.
I never trained my cat. I got the thing and it shit in the box automatically.
My dogs. Goodbye furniture, goodbye toys, goodbye shoes, hello giant pile of shit I’m about to step in first thing in the morning because my kid figured out how to open the lock on the overnight crate.
They’re good now, but holy shit the work it took to get there.
If I don’t pet my dogs they sit and cry about it. If I pet my cat when she don’t feel like it she bites me.
I have never had to walk my cat through a blizzard so it can shit. I’ve never had to bring my cat to work with me so it doesn’t destroy my house due to separation anxiety. I’ve never had tell my cat to stop making so much noise.
A cat is a lazy man’s pet. A cat is the perfect pet for me.
A lazy man can’t take the time to train the dog to fetch beer and papers. Mine can sit, stay, lay down, and come. Anything more than that I just don’t have the energy to make it happen.
I’ve owned many of both as well, and there’s no clear line. You can have cats that are into everything, mine demands to go for short walks and long hikes with a leash and harness. And you can have a dog that’s a distant friend, but only that, otherwise take care of your own shit, and this outdoor stuff is for the birds. You just never know, which is why generalizations are funny.
I can’t argue with that. :p
Have a good one bud.
