I have four cats and a dog. I love both dogs and cats.
I used to be a “dog person,” until I fostered about 150-170 kittens (I lost count). My reasoning? If I give them up to adoption homes as kittens, I just get infinite kittens, which is undebatable cuteness with none of the “adult cat” tendencies.
Of course, then I realized that cats, while much-maligned, are really fairly incredible creatures, are extremely different from one another, and have extremely distinct personalities.
So sure, while they may create havoc for small rodents, birds, spiders and the like… they can be exceptionally loving and peaceful animals to their humans and other animals. My dog and cats cuddle together, except for one cat that refuses to accept the dog.
I agreed with fostering too because we could have infinite kittens! What could go wrong? We’ve taken care of at least as many bottle fed kittens. It’s worthwhile but not always fun.
