....”adult cats are more autonomous”....
Thank God they are or I wouldn’t have a cat .....although when I have gone for two or three days he’s very clingy for a couple days after I return...so I can’t agree with the article.
I wouldn’t handle a dog very well...they slobber all over you...nip at your heels for attention....and simply require more time then I would care to give an animal.
Cats actually form very strong bonds of affection _ they just refuse to show it most of the time. They are, after all, the superior life form on rock 3.
