Btw did you ever had a cat?

I've adopted two from the SPCA when I was 7 and 13. For some reason after 15 I became allergic and had to give them away.

A cat rubbing itself on your knee is not affection, he/she is just doing it for its own pleasure. Once a cat realizes that you're only worth food and shelter it becomes solitary and would much rather be alone than be with you. Dogs genuinely seek human companionship, they always have for thousands of years which is why they make good pets.

It's obvious that cats are uncomfortable with domestication. They also has no manners, jumping on tables and ledges and stuff. Hit a dog once or twice and he'll never do it again, hit a cat and it will run away and never come back.

uh....k. nice to know. except you're completely wrong. there are many documented ways cats show affection (such as the way they blink or their tail movements), and the study that said they have no affection was literally ONE study out of thousands. so no, i don't buy this at all.

and clearly all dogs love humans so much, and are never solitary, ever. right.

...and you shouldn't hit your animals anyway? maybe if you want your animal to like you, you should try not being violent towards it?

actually, i consider hitting animals abuse. and by hitting your dog, it doesn't do the thing anymore because it's afraid of you, not out of affection. so what does that even have to do with affection?

Pretty sure you can't train a dog if you don't hit it a couple of times. It won't understand "no" or "stop doing that" or "bad dog!". Please don't tell me how to raise my dog, I've had 3, lol. Plus, my dogs are extremely loyal and smart.

It could have been the stress of being an SPCA cat that made them extremely difficult to deal with; however, I also got my dogs from the SPCA. My cat would sit on the window all day until I fed her. If I ever bothered to touch her without food in my hands she would hiss or bite me. When I would eat, she would come and rub on me until I gave her something from my plate. If she saw that my plate was empty, she'd just leave.

They're just not interested in people. I'm glad you love your cat but I always had a hard time with them. To this day I'll never go out of my way to touch someone's cat. Actually, I usually avoid them at all costs, allergies aside.

My cat never did those kind of stuff
He knew what time he would be fed and where he's supposed to eat.
We also had a scheduled deep cuddling and I believe he understands that

neither me nor my parents have ever hit the dogs we've had, and they've all been fine. do they just not count? and yes i will tell you to not hit other living things because i don't think that's acceptable behavior at all.

well it's sad that YOUR cat is like that, but my cat isn't. my cat is happy to let me touch him without me having food, and will actually voluntarily try to get to me to pet him. and my family has raised cats their entire lives and none of them have ever acted like you said. once again, do they just not count?

so maybe you shouldn't insinuate that something i care about doesn't like me.

p.s. I need some advice. I just went into my yard and there's a small, dead bird floating in my dog's water bowl. What should I do?

A) I don't aggressively beat my dogs. When my dog was a pup and would pee in the house I would raise my voice and yes, hit him with reasonable force so that he understood what he did was wrong. Pretty sure Mira dogs are trained the exact same way. You don't bruise or puncture skin, but a tap on the nose is enough for them to know that what they did was bad.

B) Sorry for insinuating something like that. I'm not the only person in the world who thinks cats don't really know how to show affection. http://www.popsci.com/article/scienc...isnt-your-side

Although that article plays devil advocate in my case, it's a reoccurring topic. I'm glad you could relate to cats, a lot of people can't.
