I am glad cats were left out of the controversy. Cats are cute and rule the world.

I LOVE dogs, really, but after adopting 2 cats I just think they are very hard work. Still have a dog but he needs atetion all the time, gets sad, want to go for walks etc. Cats? If you try to pet them too much they bite you. Also, litter boxes

A lot of people try to raise and interact with cats like they do with dogs, but that's not really the best way as they will react differently and everyone gets frustrated. A lot of people think that cats don't like to cuddle and just want to be left alone which is completely wrong.

There is plenty of content on YouTube which helps to better understand how they think.

The thing with cats is that they just kinda know themselves and offer you the deal of “yeah these are the three nice things I like to do and the three annoying things I like to do and if that jives with you, we’ll work. Otherwise, I guess just let me back outside and I’ll go back to eating birds and shit.” So every cat owner is like “yeah sure he vomits in my shoes every 2-3 days so I just turn them upside down when I take them off but he likes to sleep on the couch beside me when I watch TV and that’s our special time, you don’t really need to get it.”

I agree that not everyone should be a dog owner and/or parent.

But dogs are awesome and maybe the problem isn’t the dogs in the commenter’s experience, maybe that person just sucks?

I have no patience for this, which is why I'm not a parent.

I'm also not a dog owner, but that is more likely to change...

2 is correct

People who agree with 2 don't realize that they were those kids too and think that somehow there are kids somewhere that behave nicely because of perfect parenting.

Nope, most likely you just got to witness those kids on a bad day.

Save your judgement for yourself.
