Thankfully it's probably a lot worse on us than it is on them, since they never really know death.

That's what they tell us. Although true, does not make it any easier on us.

I thought Burt's dog had died based on the reactions. Which I learned I am not emotionally ready for.

Keep going, you little (medium-sized) shit. Outlive that prick. You know you can.

Yeah, Tuna, the cat we just had put down, was an absolutely typical cat in that he cared only for himself, in particular his tummy. He was totally food-obsessed and would whinge as loud as he could at the first inkling of a stomache rumble if he thought anyone could hear him. We called him Tupac as one pack of cat food was never enough.

Having said that, he absolutely gave my daughter a lot of love, albeit likely in at least partial trade for the lot of food she gave him. He also never wandered, never fought other cats, and was always, always, always about the house, usually on the lounge. He liked to be around people at all times.

Our other cat though is a smoocher for sure. She has taken to jumping on my lap at every opportunity, and every morning visits my wife in bed for a snuggle up snooze. She definitely does give love.

Cats are weird.

I love cats. They're silly little guys that make me laugh all the time.

Dogs are cool too. Just different. Much more of a time and energy investment. I couldn't take care of one right now

first time dog owner here

the potty training is a huge pain in the ass and very frustrating at times but i have never owned or been around a cat that gave 1/100th the affection that bogey gives day in and day out. the greetings i get when i get home work are amazing. our walks around the neighbor hood are fun filled and the fact that he follows me to bed and snuggles at my feet and throughout the night works his way up to cuddling my chest when i wake up is more than anything a cat does.

Dogs, like children, are lucky they’re cute.
