Hello, I’m Dr. Karyn! Learn my advent to be told extra about me and meet my 5 hilarious cats: Grasp, Cyril, Alex, Zelda, and Zazzles.
This is an issue that has been happening for so long as folks began holding pets. Puppy house owners being requested to select a facet, select a species, establish themselves as both cat or canine folks. Even supposing there are lots of available in the market in my place, fortunate sufficient to percentage their lives with each cats and canine, individuals who declare to not have a favourite are being as fair as folks who say they don’t have a favourite kid – come on!
You could think from the identify that I’ve declared myself a ‘cat individual’, however chances are you’ll need to wait till you’ve learn Phase Two: Why Canine Are Higher Than Cats earlier than you make a decision. And no, I’m no longer going to inform you which I’m – spoilers!
As a substitute, I provide to you a (fairly) independent argument for the affirmative workforce on why cats are higher than canine.
Cats Are Higher Than Canine As a result of…
- They’re rather self-sufficient and fairly low-maintenance
- They’re nearly born toilet-trained
- They don’t want to be taken out for walks
- They don’t bark
- They don’t soar up in your visitors
- They don’t hump your furnishings, your leg, your visitor’s leg…
- They may be able to be left by myself for lengthy sessions of time (even in a single day when you’ve got deliberate and ready correctly)

In fact, residing with cats isn’t all hugs and rainbows, and there are some negatives (or perceived negatives) to existence within the corporate of felinekind. For example:

Who Identifies As A Cat Particular person?
I’ve lengthy believed that even folks with out pets may also be classified as cat or canine folks, although there’ll at all times be exceptions and outliers. Widely talking, a cat individual has a tendency to be anyone who:
- is extra introvert than extrovert
- is cautious of strangers
- doesn’t make buddies simply, however makes them for existence
- prefers the comforts of house
- loves to re-read favourite books and re-watch favourite motion pictures and television displays

- will activate a fan or air-conditioner as a way to keep underneath a blanket
- likes (and will even have) canine, however doesn’t have a detailed affinity with them
- prefers yoga, pilates, or meditation over aerobic exercises
- loves cats

I must say that almost all, if no longer all, of the characteristics above describe me rather neatly, however with 5 cats and 5 canine, am I so simply classified? You’ll simply have to take a look at Phase Two.
