    I don’t get this angle of cats vs dogs at all. Jokes on dog owners for, properly taking care of their dogs and ensuring they get their required exercise and enrichment no matter the weather, I guess? Kind of a tasteless thing to make fun of someone over.

        IDK about anyone else but I enjoy walking my dog no matter the weather, because the enjoyment comes from seeing my dog happy and playful and not from the walk itself. I feel like if something like this is a deal breaker for you, you’re probably not a dog person to begin with and would indeed be more happy with a cat. No judgement in that case, but the notion that most dog owners hate walking their dog is kind of silly.

        More than anything, I submit that we should just love our own pets instead of trying to make fun of others for theirs. There are advantages and disadvantages to both cats and dogs, and this kind of rhetoric really isn’t helpful to either of them.

          You seem to be taking this joke rather personally. If you enjoy walking your dog no matter the weather, then good for you. Not sure why you’re so upset over a comic to be honest.

            I guess I am. Probably not the healthiest thing for me to do, but I was just reminded of my experiences with really venomous cat vs dog debates that I’ve witnessed.

              I find both are good pets and fit different people better. I don’t know why people get so worked up over these things to be honest. Was really meant as light humor and nothing more.
