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.

Dogs are so loving and in my case have always been obedient, but the first two years they behave like a dinosaur on meth. And then cats are so calm but they just ignore me except for when they want food.
Do you try to play with your cats? If you don't try to need any of their needs other than food, water, and litter, why would they care about you beyond that? I have 3 cats and a rescue kitten I'm fostering, and all 4 of them seek me and my wife out for attention every single day. Play with your cats and respect their boundaries, and they will come to you for their emotional needs as well.
I have two cats and one of them is motivated exclusively by food and the opportunity to rip cardboard boxes apart and spread to the contents over the floor. He's not interested in anything else.
The other one is perfectly friendly.
Sometimes you just have to have the right kind of cat.
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.
What's going on here?
Stereotyping and overgeneralisation!
Hush now, I'm busy psychoanalysing people for their choice in pets.
Oh, right. My mum has a budgie and I keep an ant colony?
I think its called toxoplasmosis

Guess I'm not a straight man.... Hey honey....
I thought I was a straight male, but clearly the science has spoken. Hey honey...
I'm queer AF and I prefer dogs.
I think everybody guessed that bro.
I think it depends on your stance towards authoritarianism. Dogs follow commands, cats do not.
Cats follow rules. Your mistake is believing you are in charge.
Who knows. I'm straight and I don't care for a dog's energy at all, which is unfortunate because nearly every dog I meet really loves me. They're just not my thing. They're stiff, they're clacky, they're clumsy, and they stink. They climb up and try with all their strength to get their mouths/noses right up in my face, and I hate it.
I am nice to them, though. Don't get me wrong. They don't know that I don't like them.
We have 2 snakes. But i call my ( cornsnake ) sometimes my puppy. My partner his snake ( hognose ) we lovingly call the kitten.
So from now on i am a male and he is female. Got it. Good to find these kind off rules. Otherwise we would suffer in unknowing and make mistakes against statistics. ;)
Straight man (cis) here. I prefer cats because having a dog is like having a stupid, stubborn kid that shits everywhere and screams constantly. Doesn't even come with the benefit of being able to witness their beautiful, growing mind. They're just dumb and annoying forever.
I expect this to be my most disliked comment lol
CATS! 😻
I love cats butndigs are cool too.
Going to love me some butndigs.
What happened to white women fuckin' their dogs?
That used to be a thing among that list, so you'd think they end up on the "prefers dogs" part.
Someone spending too much time on r34 sites...
What
I didn't make that up, for a long time i saw loads of claims and insinuationz that all white women fuck their dogs.
Not me who thinks that, but those chronically online, disconnected from the real world people did.
That's the kind of claim that should never be taken seriously and you're not doing anyone any favours by spreading it
Yooo. My friend, step back and take a look.
