SLICE OF LIFE : Cats V.S. Dogs : The Age Old Debate Continues

I’ve recently been hassling with the realities of having two pugs in the house. You would think that adding two cute, fun-loving creatures to your household would make things more relaxing and enjoyable, right?

WRONG.

While having Buffy and Peach around has had its perks, I honestly can’t help but wonder why I didn’t buy two cats instead.

I mean, really, why be stuck with an animal that you have to potty train when you can buy a cat? Cats have been literally preprogrammed to discard their own fecal matter in convenient, out of the way places. They essentially do what I wish my pugs would do…crap discretely with stealth and skill on other peoples yards. No cleanup is necessary! 

 Cats are also very independent, something I would appreciate in my own animals. Dogs are needy, codependent and always looking to you for entertainment, which can get really annoying. Cats can entertain themselves by stalking prey or pouncing around in humorous ways.

 To sum up my point, consider the following. Cats are far more sophisticated and elegant than pugs. Trust me, there is a reason why we have words like “glamourpuss” and “sex kitten”. Felines just seem a heck of a lot sexier, sleeker and cleverer than two dogs licking themselves and snorting a the corner, will ever be. Ahem, think before you choose dog over cats.
