I have a bulldog and agree using the Fred/Wilma, Barney/Betty theorem.
Dogs have pupils with irises. Cats have .. slits?
Yes, diamonds in their eyes, like the reptiles that have been preying on mammals for milli.. a long time. A very long time.
OK.
Barney Rubble has no pupil irises and Wilma Flintstone has no irises in her pupils.
They have eyes like black buttons, like sharks or Raggedy Ann dolls: unblinking, soulless automatons.
Scary Halloween eyes.
And eyes are the windows to the soul.
Fred and Betty, on the other hand, have irises in their pupils. They are like doggies, cute little puppies, and the couples, the Flintstones and Rubbles, are mismatched.
Some people are mismatched with their pets. Many unfortunate feline owners have come under the spell of their calculating cats who want nothing more than to suck all their breath while they sleep!
So there it is. Dogs are like us and safe, while cats are reptilian with raptor-like brain stems—aliens, cold & calculating and they want to kill, kill, kill.
Brrrr!!! QED
I’ll take a dog too. I don’t want to die.
I have several dogs. Dogs know their names— Cats are just eating machines. They get under cars and get run over in the driveway. I had one get up in my truck engine and when I started - it shredded him in the radiator blade. He was still alive so I put him out with a 12 gauge. A dog is soo much smarter and they know their name.
