This exactly! Cats don’t need to go for walks or be let out at regular intervals. You can even leave them home without a sitter for a week or so if you have automatic litter box and feed set up. (I have cameras and a neighbor who is available for emergencies). Cats are so low maintenance, but also I don’t do well with dogs smothering tendencies.
Cats are awesome. I love dogs too but I travel for work and have a very small house so I can’t really have a dog. But the range of cat personalities is so wide, I’ve had four girls in my life so far that are deceased and currently have four boys. Every single one is so different, I love it.
I like my dog’s energy because she motivates me to move at least a little bit each day. Of course I’m not gonna get a husky because no amount of motivation would let me keep up with them, but a good energy match in a dog is heaven to me.
I like cats too, but I feel like I just don’t “get” them as intuitively.
Huskies are weird because while they require a ton of interaction, during the time in between they act very catlike and just kinda fuck off and do their own thing.
Owning a dog is the intersection between thinking dogs are the best, and actually having the time, energy and headspace to look after one.
If dogs looked after themselves like cats do, I’d be inclined. But then they wouldn’t be dogs, I suppose.
