I’m thinking about getting a cat. I’ve always been a dog person but don’t have the time for a dog. I feel like it would be nice to have it to pet and hear it purr. Am I fooling myself? Too much work?

I have a gray and white cat that looks so similar to yours!

No, cats are wonderful if they like you, but mostly self-sufficient enough to hang out by themselves. They do need attention still though!

I have two cats and a dog. Cats are definitely less work - you don’t have to take off work early to let them out - but they do need attention, and can get lonely if left along for a long time. Counterintuitively, sometimes two cats are easier than one, since they can keep each other company and play while you are away.

Agree if you get two cats together they’ll usually hang out and play with each other

I got one in the last year and it has been great. The perfect pet for someone in public accounting, I think.

To be fair, so do dog pee and human pee.

I have a cat and I think it’s a great pet for someone in a busy job. I don’t feel guilty going to a happy hour right after work either, it’s not like you need to let them out every few hours

All I’m saying is don’t settle. If you love dogs and get a cat, you will probably be disappointed. Unless you’ve realigned your expectations. Maybe just wait until you can take care of a dog since it’s a 15 year commitment and you should have what you really want :) I used to think about getting a cat for the same reason, but I waited until life slowed down a little and just got a new puppy. Absolutely no regrets. But again, this may not be the case for you.

Realize this is a very old post, but I adopted a cat and couldn’t be happier. I’m now officially a cat person rather than a dog person.

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
