Are you pet flexible?
Last year on another website I told the story of how I got over my previously-held anti-cat prejudices and learned to love Oliver, despite the fact that he was not a dog, which would normally be pretty unforgivable.
Since then I’ve really come to understand and appreciate the little furball, who displays a level of needy affection that is on-par with any of the canines who have been a part of my life.
Which means I am now much more pet-flexible than I was before. Whereas I would have once proudly declared my eternal allegiance to dogs, now I have to admit that I am a man of two nations when it comes to animal companionship. I am bipetual. I swing both ways.
How about you? Are good with dogs & cats or are you strictly for one or the other? Do you have thoughts on other more exotic pets? Or are you one of those people who don’t understand the whole pet thing and instead choose to find your warm, soft furry cuddles from places known only as elsewhere?
Yeah, so many men dislike cats because cats will not bow down to them, worship them (the same way dogs do), be some kinda slave to the male ego and are “too independent”. The narcissism so many (mostly straight) dudes show even when talking about their fave pets is just ridiculous, hilarious and also kinda sad in the end.
The same goes with women, by the way… so many dislike women who act like cats and wish they would be like dogs lol. /Sadface, too.

if the cat was like that then yes i would have a cat with such a personality. otherwise on the average i prefer dogs
I grew up with a St Bernard and a Siamese cat so it was no big deal to have my own household filled with dogs and cats. My daughters first job was cleaning kennels at an animal clinic. She loves animals and accordingly we became recipients to a variety of pets including ferrets, a black rat and of course a variety of dogs and cats. As I’m sitting here, I’m dealing with vary rambunctious 5 month old Golden Retrievers, Archie and Larry (name from the TV show Impracticable Jokers). The cats Mojowojohowitz (Himalayan cat) , Loontye (Siamese) and Juan (black… Read more »
BTW, we are empty nesters and my wife is a stay at home zoo keeper. Archie will be moving out when my son moved into his new house.
