Are You A Cat Or Dog Person?

throughout my life i have always had cats as pets and i'm very grateful for that because cats are the best and i will forever have them as my pets. Cats are the greatest because they are independent which means it doesn't matter what your job is or how little you are at home, they can fend for themselves unlike dogs which need extra care and attention. If you don't have the time or can't put in the time to look after a dog then don't have one because they need someone they can rely on most of the time. As well as being independent cats also want loving but only on their terms so as long as you show them that they have the upper hand and you let them come to you then they will love you more for it and will always come to you for loving. 

People may prefer dogs because they might want a pet they can really connect with and who will rely on them and really appreciate them however just because cats don't necessarily rely on you doesn't mean they don't appreciate you they are just less willing to show their appreciation. Like my cat he likes company and being around people but he does it in an extremely subtle way such as being in the same room as you but sitting in the window sill or hiding somewhere so you can't tell he's there, he doesn't demand you to see his presence. Whereas dogs are very much in your face and constantly seeking attention by wanting you to play with them or getting up to mischief or simply barking. 

Whenever i dog sit for people whether it's just for a day or a few days you instantly connect with them and it gives you such a great feeling when dogs look up to you and do as they're told, you can get attached to dogs very quickly which is great if you've got the time and dedication to look after a dog full time. Because they rely on you so much it's like having a baby and the things they do for you like protecting you and comforting you when you're upset is so heart warming and worth the dedication and hard work, it's hard to resist not having a dog. But the fact that no one's at home at lunchtime everyday means that if we did have a dog we couldn't give it the love and attention it deserves that is why we have had always had cats. 

It's very true when people say cats choose their owners and dogs don't because half the cats we have had haven't even been ours in the first place. There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of a cat purring because when you hear that sound you know you've done good. 

What i want to know is are you a cat or dog person or do you love both? 

Sorry it's been so long since my last blog post, hope you enjoyed :)
