I like cats because they live outside. I don't have to pick up their poop, they require no upkeep whatsoever. They aren't retarded like dogs so you don't have to feed them 3 times a day. I refill my cat's bowl once every couple weeks with food and thats it. She just drinks out of the dog's bowl, pool, toilet, or whatever. I also feel kind of bad keeping a dog as a pet, because sitting around in a house all day not doing anything is totally unnatural for them. Cats get to do as they please, hunt, survive, etc, pretty much just like they would if they weren't domesticated.
Plus my cat is G as fuck, she's always coming home all bloody and shit after gnar fights with other cats. The other day I saw her going after seriously like the biggest fucking lizard I've ever seen (excluding in Mexico).
So yeah, cats are rad. Except inside cats. They get all weird. If I lived in a place where I couldn't have an outdoor cat I just wouldn't get one. Its cruel. I do actually live in an area where all my neighbors don't let their cats outside because apparently there are lots of coyotes. So far my cat has been fine.
