Lucky little cat - good to see an instance of kindness in the world. I saw some idiotic article a few weeks ago that said dogs are a man’s pet, while cats are a woman’s pet. I’ve owned and loved both, but a cat was the perfect pet when I was a young, single guy - very low maintenance, just throw out the kitty litter once a week and keep their food and water bowls filled. If you want to go somewhere for a long weekend, the cat will be fine by itself and you won’t come back to your apartment or house trashed. Try that with a dog. Dogs are absolutely terrific, but definitely require more work and attention - better pets for when you have a family to help split the workload.

I left my mini-doxie alone in my condo for days at a time on several occasions, leaving her extra food and water. When I returned, I saw she had eaten none of the food, but as soon as she was satisfied I was back, she scarfed up the chow. Oh, and the house was never trashed.

As for cats being a woman’s pet and dogs a man’s, I mostly agree.
