We had a bird, hamster, and several cats growing up, but my parents considered dogs too obnoxious and dirty to own as pets. In sheer contrast, American culture practically idolizes dogs, so I’m a happy neutral on dogs, but prefer cats.
I will say, I don’t like getting licked in the face, or dog slobber, which my bf’s dog takes the liberty to do. It isn’t as traumatic as the first time I got decked in the face with a large, overly slobbery dog tongue and dog breathe, but cat licks are dryer and more tolerable than over the-top dog slobber any day of the goddamn week, idc what anyone says.
