'Cats are for lazy people': Boyfriend insists that dogs are easier pets than cats despite never wanting to leave the house, girlfriend calls out his hypocrisy in the comments

Why do dog-lovers always feel the need to come for cat people? This boyfriend insisted to his girlfriend that dogs are better pets and lazy people choose cats over dogs. But then she pointed out how lazy he was, and all the dominoes started to fall.

We don't care what kind of animals you like as long as you're kind to them. We're not a huge fan of birds, but we're not going to spend our day dragging bird-lovers through the mud just because we think they're loud (the birds, not their owners). And yet, dog people love do this very thing to cat lovers. They are so vocal about their disdain for cats that they will go out of their way to make us feel like we're weirdos for preferring cats.

We're also not here to get into an argument over which one is better. They're both great, we just like cats because they fit our lifestyle better, and we think they're the cutest things in the world. It doesn't mean we think dogs are ugly, far from it! Puppies are pawsitively squeal-worthy, and some doggos are meowtrageously cute, but we still love cats more.

Well, when this boyfriend confessed to his girlfriend that he thought only lazy people liked cats, then she felt he crossed a line. She pointed out that there are some days when he never leaves the house, and said, "It's gonna be a hard adjustment having to take your dog outside to walk and play every day". She's not wrong, and she continued to call out his hypocrisy below. It's purrfectly satisfying, and a win for all of us cat-lovers everywhere.

There's nothing more that we love more than our quiet nights home with our cats. One makes biscuits on our legs while the other loafs on our chests, all while we're reading a good book or catching up on Love is Blind (or whatever Netflix show we're currently binging). The thought of having to get up and take a dog for a walk before bed when we're all comfy and sleepy sounds purrfectly awful. For all you dog lovers who do that every night, we salute your dedication. We simply don't want to.

Just because cats are more self-sufficient doesn't mean they're necessarily “easier” pets. Cats come with their own troubles, like waking you up with zoomies in the middle of the night, climbing anything that could pawssibly be climbed, scratching your furniture, and escaping with no way to get home. Dogs require a lot more training, bark a lot, and need to be taught to use the bathroom outside, but they generally like everyone and want to be loved all the time. Doesn't sound much easier to us.
