Better question is why people don’t like cats.
Some people are better with consent than others.
My cats are the perfect balance of affection, entertainment, and low maintenance.
Dogs are great, but I can leave my cats alone for a long weekend and when I get home, the house is just as I left it.
As someone with dogs, I envy this so fucking much.
I have both dogs and cats and cats are indeed very low maintenance.
Because I can actually observe my adopted cat loving me more with every passing month. We’re learning each other, he communicates with me and gets closer and closer. For the first year he didn’t even think about cuddling but now he’s on my laps everyday. It’s really nice to feel him liking me more and more so I like him back as well. It’s a very positive circle of affection.

Also because my cat is the cutest
What the hell does toxoplasmosis have to do with liking cats?
Apparently it is a popular American myth.
On the whole, there was little evidence that T. gondii was related to increased risk of psychiatric disorder, poor impulse control, personality aberrations, or neurocognitive impairment.
Cause they are cute and mimic babies.
And they infect your brain with a cat loving infection.
I’ve had cats and dogs, and in my sample, cats have been better at navigating boundaries. Also, the beans. Also, the everything.
My dog is terrific at navigating boundaries. He knows to cross them when he can’t see my eyeballs.
I’ve had both over my life. Both have pros and cons.
As others have said, cats overall require less attention; both in interaction and maintenance. Our cats are really good about keeping house bugs to a minimum with their natural hunter instincts. Flies,moths and other critters don’t last long. Also litter boxes are something I wish dogs could figure out lol.
Dogs are more social, so they’ll need more from you. They need frequent outside time to run and exercise/bathroom. Most dogs don’t care about catching bugs and critters like cats. However, if treated right, will defend the house to the death from intruders.
In my current situation, cats are better. If I had a much bigger, we’ll fenced yard, I’d love to have a dog again.
Cats are independent and dogs are dependent. That’s why I like cats better. I also don’t want to deal with the death of a dog that I’d probably consider my best friend. No thanks.
It’s not like the death of cat is any less traumatic, cat’s show appreciation in different ways that is all.
So you end up missing the little crazy cunts anyway :-(
Found the auzzie
Not auzzie, felt right that is all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Having had both kinds of animals of pets multiple times, it isn’t any easier unless you simply just don’t interact with the animal and thus don’t have a connection with it.
Because they do. This is like asking why some people like movies.
I have a friend with FIVE CATS. I worry about her sometimes… Paula Poundstone has…12? 13? 14? I worry about her, too.
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.
There are more pressing reasons to worry about Paula Poundstone.
In short, they’re like our siblings, minus the sibling rivalries.
Toxocutiosis.
Toxoplasmosis.
Doesn’t affect humans in this way.
I grew up with dogs and cats, the cats never tried to kill me, the cats never killed someone I was close to. The cats were loving and cute.
