Sharing my genuine sentiments is a "troll job"

A lot of what you said should be reversed for dogs and cats.

Let's learn a few things about cats:

Cats are stupid animals. Contrary to popular belief, felines are pretty unintelligent and have far less mental capacity than a canine. You can't teach them shit partially because they have little to no capacity for object permanence and poor observational learning insight, and they are useless animals aside from 2 things: providing company, and chasing/catching vermin. It's something you feed, clean up after, and pet when it walks over to you. And they can be very needy - I can't tell you how many "cat moms" I've banged out and slept over where there cats would scratch at the door and whine constantly to go out/come in/get attention.


I too have experienced this with cat owning chicks. As a cat owning man I've never had that problem of neediness. It's more a reflection on the owner than the pet.



Also, there is nothing about owning and caring for a cat that translates to game.

Excuse me but, if I, as a cat owner, have found there to be similarities between cats and women, and used this somewhat loose analogy to learn lessons and have successfully used it to improve my game in real life, then who are you to tell me otherwise? Your attempt to simply invalidate my experience in this matter doesn't wash.



Dogs on the other hand are highly intelligent animals that can be trained, and in the act of training a dog this translates very well to game. Learning how to assert dominance, positive/negative reinforcement, frame control, etc. Dogs are also very utilitarian animals. They can be taught to hunt, herd, guard, attack, carry/pull weight, rescue, navigate, the list goes on and on.

Yeah well, that doesn't make them any less loud or annoying.


The only dogs that are loud, unruly, and smelly are dogs that are poorly taken care of. The bit about dogs being for "lonely people" implying that cats are not is simply ludicrous, especially considering how much we rag on lonely cat ladies here on the forum. Cats are the quintessential lonely-person's pet. Reason being you can be a sour depressed recluse and it will matter 0% to a cat's wellbeing so long as you still feed it and clean it's shit up.


There's plenty of obnoxious breeds of dogs, some are more tamable then others. It's an issue of genetics AND training. Here's what I've observed...most PEOPLE suck at being pet owners, period. A dog needs more discipline / attention than a cat so given that the average person is an irresponsible idiot, this results in more dogs annoying me than cats.
