I will never understand the accomodations people make for a pet which gives you so little in return. If most owners were 100% honest and in private I reckon at least 50% would admit their cat is an asshole.

I mean they don't even smile like a dog. They look miserable most of the time!

It's like an abusive relationship where nothing you do will please them LOL

Yes, I'm a dog person ;)

There must be something to the toxoplasmosis theory

I recall reading that ~30% of humans have evidence of toxoplasmosis. But, it is unclear whether that is harming their intelligence. Statistically, cat owners have higher IQ than dog owners (pls do not shoot the messenger unless you want to provide further evidence of the validity of this observation).

I’m a dog person, but most cats are lower maintenance than most dogs.

> so little in return.

That's simply not true. You clearly never had a cat.
