When a pet dies, do you get a new one or wait a while?

I can put out extra food leave the cats alone for a weekend. Try that with a dog. Coming in and filling up a food bowl or taking five minutes to scoop out a litterbox is one thing. Taking care of a dog is an entirely different thing. You've got to get somebody to show up to walk them multiple times a day, and I don't know anybody in my area who'll do that - at least not for free. I don't want to be a slave to my pet - I know people who plan their lives around how to care for dogs. It's crazy.

But the bottom line is, to each their own. I don't care your pet is a dog or a cat or a 20 foot snake, it's your business. I just get tired of people going all CoMo****tard every time somebody mentions cats. If my cats were shitty to me, I wouldn't have them as pets. Doesn't matter if they're affectionate to other people or not.

Amen Frazod. Didn't mean to be a dick. I'd never harm a cat, I just don't have much use for them personally.

I've got a cat as well. Well....it's more my wife's cat than mine. It pretty much stays outside. But, when I sit out on my front porch to read, my cat will come up and lay on my lap. I don't necessarily mind cats, but I won't have another one. My crazy ass neighbor with their 5 cats put an end to that.

You really shouldn't let your crazy ass neighbor have that sort of sway over you.

Well, it's more the cats then those dumbass people. Their cats roam free - like mine - but they spend the nights apparently sleeping in our flowers....which pisses me off.

Can't really blame the pet for irresponsible owners. Same with a nasty, biting dog.
