Keep this one flame free guys, the last one was closed because people couldn't control themselves.
CATS, YOU SONS OF BITTTTTTT... Oh. -_-;
ROTFL - Cucumba
And the other one wasn't my fault.
Edit: Just to humor Cuc, the reasons I prefer cats to dogs is that,
Cats are cute, soft, and if you stay with them since birth (and I mean, not leaving for school, anything, etc) for the first 6 months of their life (which I was able to do because of homeschooling) then they become even more affectionate and loving than any dog.
And the downsides of dogs? You have to walk them constantly, they drool on everything, they chew everything up, many of them shed everywhere (granted, some cats do), they bark incessantly, they defecate everywhere, they jump up on houseguests, possibly making them uncomfortable..
Granted,
some of these bad things about dogs can be improved/solved with good training, but other things--there's nothing you can do.
Cats also live longer than dogs. So if you're an animal lover who always has to have a pet, you're going to have to put up with less deaths of your beloved pets, if you prefer cats. Just another perk.
