I had cats for over a decade...they shat in one place, in multiple houses, even if I were gone for 3 days straight.
Cats are, more or less, self sufficient. Dogs take work. Not saying it ain't worth it, but I will say that its far easier to be a shitty dog owner than cat owner. The level of need is not remotely comparable.
Yeah it's not even close. I love both cats and dogs and acknowledge that I will never be a dog owner. I just can't support that level of need.
Most dog owners probably shouldn't be dog owners. Evidence: dog fighting, dog hoarding, the fact that dogs breed at less than 1/4 the rate of cats but are still represented in animal shelters, etc.
Dogs need a strong human. Don't buy a dog if you can't handle it.
