I like the independent nature of cats.
My cat is very affectionate.
I don’t have to walk her.
Having a dog is like having a child that never grows up.”
That’s how I feel about cats. Being self-employed, I have never wanted to have the neediness of a dog waiting for me to come home. I have had several cats over the years, and they appreciate me returning but were not overly anxious. Although the one I have now is pretty clingy when I am home.
My sister has a dog and is filled with anxiety when she leaves it alone for any extended time, such as when she goes to work.
