    Had a lovely walk in the rain this afternoon. I get not wanting to go out, but the love of our furry friends is so worth it. And yeah, cats love us too, but watching my pup get the zoomies in the empty park is something else

      I find both cats and dogs are fun in their own way, but dogs are definitely a bigger commitment. The fact that you do have to take walks with them is at least good for you healthwise though. :)

        It makes sense that they are, since we’ve been cohabitating with them for around 20,000 years longer. They’ve had a lot more time to become dependent on us.

          They’re also social animals by nature where cats tend to be solitary. I find my cats mostly keep to themselves, and come out to hang out for a bit here and there which is perfect for me. Kind of like having a reclusive roommate who’s really chill.
