What would you rather have as a pet TC: 180k YOE: 6 months
I love dogs. But the ease of owning a cat is superior. Bonus if the cat acts like a dog.
It is harder to take care of dogs vs cats. But you can take the dog with you while generally, cats hate to be outside their regular environment, meaning travel will be a problem. You can hire pet sitters but my cats get stressed if they haven’t developed a relation. A pet sitter is a stranger and they hate strangers. If you adopt a kitten, it is easier to train it. But keep in your mind that, every animal has its own character and might not be trained in the way you wanted. Dog litter training is very hard and also there are daily walks. Cat is easier for me except for travel times. And they are weird. Extremely weird which makes living with them so much fun.
