I grew up with mostly cats. But I had a few dogs. But I ultimately grew up to be a cat person. But I don’t hate dogs. I just don’t like them. The way they smell makes me wanna puke. Especially wet dog. *Shudders in disgust* And the slobber that comes off their tongue is beyond f****** gross, makes my skin crawl. The loud barking is also obnoxious. But I don’t mind my friends dogs, but that’s because they don’t live with me. I don’t have to be around it all day everyday. Cats contrary to popular belief can be just as loving as a dog if not more. And they don’t slobber, the don’t bark, they don’t personally smell, litter box is another story. But a well maintained litter box doesn’t emit a house clearing stench. Anything a dog touches takes on its gross a** smell. So I know it’s a preference, but Cats imo are way better than dogs.
