We can all agree that pets in general are the best when it comes to silent company. A bond which for some is just like a friendship with a person. The pets which most people have in their homes are cats and dogs. But which pet is really the best one?
What do you need?
Some people think cats are selfish and obnoxious, while dogs offer lots of love whenever you need it. Others think dogs will love just about anything and it's meaningless, while cats will give affection when they really love you. Dogs are pack animals and will suck up to you because you walk on two legs. Plus they are high maintenance. You have to walk them, let them in and out, and cannot leave them alone overnight much less a weekend. Cats are independent. When they show you attention, it is true affection. Plus they are low maintenance. They can do their thing all day and night inside, and can be left alone for the weekend if given access to enough food and water.
In the end
Of course, everyone has their preferences. One type of animal is never really going to be able to best another. We all love who and what we love because we're unique, and that's a lot better than choosing a winner if it's not a spider, because I hate spiders.
