I will elaborate more in the replies, just be nice.
Tldr… I hate how one of the most common advice you receive as a loner without social life or a partner is to get a dog. I’m taking care of a dog for a while now as a favour, since I’m unemployed and have “nothing to do” (my brother went to his gf beach holiday house for the summer with her, his daughter, my younger siblings and my mom, couldn’t take the dog, it’s old) and I’m miserable, I HATE this. I don’t wanna have to deal with any animal after this.
You might prefer cats.
Maybe this dog is a dick.
You do you; just don’t be cruel. My dogs are a lot of work, but they’re a source of meaning and joy for me as well.
I don’t wanna clean anyone’s shit anymore.
Thats what automatic litter boxes are for
That just changes the spot you the clean the shit from.
Pretty much yeah
Lol, you’re not wrong!
That’s not a thing here? Also I don’t think that works if the animal doesn’t want to shit there
You train them thats where they go, mine was plug and play (the box AND the cats)
Honestly I think the experience of having a cat is much different than having a dog, and much better for certain personality types (like mine). Way less needy, feels more like a chill roommate than an annoying kid. Scooping cat litter is also much less of an issue than it sounds.
That being said, your feelings are 100% valid. Not everyone should have a pet, and nothing wrong with not wanting one.
Thank you, I already getting attacked here
