Cats are independent and dogs are dependent. That's why I like cats better. I also don't want to deal with the death of a dog that I'd probably consider my best friend. No thanks.

It's not like the death of cat is any less traumatic, cat's show appreciation in different ways that is all.

So you end up missing the little crazy cunts anyway :-(

Having had both kinds of animals of pets multiple times, it isn't any easier unless you simply just don't interact with the animal and thus don't have a connection with it.
