Curried or barbequed?
My neighbour says to me quite often, So many cats, so few recipes.
For clarity we have 2 rabbits a cat and dozens of fish, oh and a couple of newts and the occassional frog. Dogs like you, cats tolerate you, and our cat barely does that.
Dogs take more looking after, cats will cheat on the family.
Dogs will defend you to the death, cats will tear your curtains of the wall trying to run away.
Dogs will bring you an injured mouse, cats will rid the house of the mice.
On balance, each to their own, we anthropomorphise our pets anyway so a cat sucking the heat from your lap, loves you, a dog attacking a burglar loves you.
No the cat is selfish and is keeping warm and the dog has stockholm syndrome.
