| pokoko said: I'm not really a fan of dogs. I don't have any real need to feel needed, so dogs are usually just a pain in the ass to me. They're like children, always needing care or wanting attention. On the other hand, the best pet I ever had was a tom cat. He was completely independent and chill, more like someone to hang out with now and then than a pet, to be honest. We liked one another, one might go over and say hello to the other, but we never pestered or annoyed one another. He'd make his rounds of the neighborhood and sometimes be gone for a day or two, come back with some scrapes and bits of fur missing, but that was cool. People tell me that dogs are for guys and cats are for girls, but I don't think those people have ever owned a real tom cat. I don't want something that slobbers all over itself for attention, I want a pet that's independent and self-sufficient. In my mind, that cat was more a guy's pet than anything you have to bathe on a regular basis because they can't do it for themselves. |
I'd say this post does a good job at summarizing my views.
