Lol, you got me... But my dog would die for me. It's my honor to walk her in the snow. In fact, I'm hardly even worthy.

My cat would die for me too. He's my little one-eyed one-brain-cell angel
You're funny. The cat woke me up for food is the reason the dog got to pee outside before the sun came up.
I wish my cats would nap with me like that, but it's my fault for not getting them used to it when they were kittens. They'll stay put for a minute under my arm and then dart off the bed.
Mine sleeps with me but will randomly start clawing at my neck while purring in the middle of night.
I think she thinks that's "petting."
The dog can go run out back and shit, I'll pick it up in the spring.
that's a long time to leave a dog outside
You clearly have never tried to get a Bernese Mountain Dog out of fresh fallen snow.
cats: hate rain
dogs: hate rain
me: hates rain
all of us: have fucking jobs, who the hell is lounging around in bed all damn morning
Your pets have jobs?
On a weekend?
I wish, as soon as the sun comes up that little fucker is punching me in the face to fill up his food bowl.
I'd rather not have cat poop in my houses air.
Dogs poop in the house sometimes too. Anything living will poop in your house if you let it in for long enough. It's nice they are considerate enough to go in a box and not in the floor
But human poop is perfectly fine? You saw that one Mythbusters episode, right? Feces is everywhere.
Cat flap in a door solves this, but you do need a vented room to keep their litter box that's not a garage because those usually need a fire rated door.
One time someone was like “Like boxes of shit in your house? Get a cat” first I was miffed but then I was like “well…” 😂
i have a cat and a dog and they both want to go out in weather like that. they love being outside.
neither of them want to cuddle in bed, either.
Maybe it's you...
I've owned most of the common furry pets (except guinea pigs and rats) and there's unique challenges with taking care of each of them. What is burdensome is also different for each person.
I love cats but I don't think I'd adopt another. I don't want to catproof my shelves nor my plants. I don't want to smell kitty litter either.
I love rabbits but same thing. I don't want to rabbitproof my house. I don't want to clean litter boxes. And most importantly, I don't want the hassle of finding someone to take care of them when I'm gone.
I love dogs and will probably stick to dogs. I like going on walks and sitting in the yard. I don't mind drying his paws off when it rains or walking the yard weekly to pick up his turds.
All pets are great. Animal companionship is the best.
Cats aren’t necessarily little bastards. Mine has never knocked anything over, doesn’t climb onto anything other than the couch and bed, and ignores all of my houseplants.
Also, kitty litter is awful. Pelletized horse bedding is a much better option. Cheaper, lighter, easier to clean up, compostable. It smells like pine trees instead of piss-soaked clay.

You’re not buying the right kitty litter.
Recommendation?
We use tidy cats stone pellets with the pee pads liner.
Not environmentally friendly, but it's the first time I've actually not minded dealing with the box.
We never used normal litter, it's terrible. We used to use the tidy cats brand scoop able stuff. And that worked... Fine. Solids came out easy enough. But urine was either too gummy if you tried scooping it too soon. Or it broke up into stinky little bits too small for the scoop, if you waited too long. And God forbid the cat dig to the bottom before peeing, so the clay glues itself to the bottom of the bin, amplifying the goo/break problem.
And eventually, no matter how well you scoop, the little bits of urine build up and start to stink like ammonia, until you have to throw all the litter away and wash the box. Which is extra unpleasant if it's winter.
But the stone pellets and pad? The solids are easily scooped. And the urine is trapped in the pad, locked in, never smell it.
And no matter what you do, cats will track litter around the house. But the stones are so big and heavy that they almost all fall off the paw before they make it 5 feet from the box, so the area to clean is much smaller. And the stones are surprisingly less annoying to step on.
My friend has the cedar pellets, and it's better than litter, yes, in some ways. But I still smell the ammonia.
I will say we've never tried the crystal cat litter, and some of our other friends swear by it.
Yeah, we buy an amazing blend of sand. Leaves no odors, no dust, and has great clumping.
I’ve met many people that were confident their house did not smell like cat urine. Fewer that were correct.

This but with my cat standing on my chest screaming in my face for no reason
or thier butt on your face after using the litterbox.
Lucky. Your cat faces you while standing on your chest screaming its head off. I wake up to the 'ol one eye winker.
On occasion though, that pic is accurate and so worth it.

As someone with both, I actually really appreciate that my dog forces me out on regular walks.
Yep, without my dog there are days I would not get out of bed, and feel like shit because of it. Even if it's winter, it's good for my mental health.
Agreed, my dog has probably kept me significantly more physically and mentally healthy than I would be without him.
But your cat "gets" you
My dog happily jumps into my bed to cuddle as soon as he realizes I'm awake. Only when we're both sufficiently cuddled, we go on our merry way.
Having whippets, i can tell you that they would rather stop drinking and eating, that go out in weather like that (and rain too)
So do you have an indoors toilet for them?
That lower image is fake. The cat isn't checking to see if it's ok to start trying to eat its owner's owner's eyeballs yet.
My dog doesn't have a shit box in my house that I have to clean constantly. That makes up for the 3 months it's a little cold out.
Are you saying you don't clean up after your dog? Otherwise, you're cleaning up shit daily. Litter boxes are not typically cleaned daily(constantly) and they make auto litter boxes that clean themselves.

Your house smells like cat shit, you are simply nose blind to it. Please clean up after your cat shits.
