Leave em at your house for a week and come back to your couch shredded. You have to buy them way more excessories so they don't destroy your freakin house. 11 different toys cause they get bored with all of em, a scratching board so they don't claw up on all your furniture. A dog you just give em one bone and they'll chew it till it's completely gone and a litter box smells worse than any dog I've ever had plus no dog of mine has ever brought a dead animal into my house (not that dogs don't I'm sure they do). Seems like everyone here likes cats not because they're better companions or more loving pets but because they require no responsibility. Shitty reason if you ask me. Just tie the dog outside give him a big bowl a water and a big bowl a dog food. They aren't as big a responsibility as you guys are making them out to be.

I have two cats and they don't cause any of the trouble you talk about. When we go on vacation the cats are left in with clean water and lots of food. A friend comes by every couple of days and checks in on them. They've been fixed so all they do is sleep and eat and don't cause any destruction. The only reason we have a dog is because my daughter would "die" if she couldn't have a dog and a hamster and a rabbit and a cat and on and on. She's hinting at a horse now! She takes care of the dog but jesus, that dog cost more to take care of than her! He's a Golden Retriever which are suseptable to allergies so I have to take the stupid thing to the vet every six weeks for an allergy shot and those heart worm pills are like $5 each. Also the vet acts like the mutts my baby which drives me nuts because he never acts like that when I take one of the cats in.
I don't know. I just think that if you don't have kids but want to know what it's like...get a dog.
Another thing, my cats are very enjoyable. They're very friendly and love attention. They actually race the dog to the door when I come home.
