    I think it’s more of a gamble with cats. Dogs are just gonna love you. Some cats are completely sweet and cuddly, and others attack your ankles everytime you try to get water.

      Depends on the dog too. Maybe you’ve only experience good dogs but there are MANY dogs out there with dangerous behavioral issues. “Dogs are just gonna love you” just isn’t true. It depends on the breed, the dog, and their history.

        As a cat person who has had several cats and never lived with a dog long term, I am surprised to learn this (though it seems so obvious). My response was based off of what so many dog people have told me! If it’s a gamble either way, why would you pick the animal who has better ability to actually kill you?
