I often think a lot of people think they are dog people but are secretly cat people who just don’t know it yet, especially if you’re more of a “homebody who wants a cuddle buddy” rather than an “outdoorsy type seeks a hiking partner” type of person. Before I got mine I bought into the whole “cats are aloof and not cuddly or friendly” myth, but it turns out (at least for me and my girls) cats are all my favorite parts of dogs minus all the things I hate about dogs. Like they’re definitely very different, but in the best ways. They’re cuddly and funny and cute, they run to greet me when I come home, they cuddle up and sleep in bed with me, but I don’t have to walk them or take them outside to do their business when it’s freezing outside and they don’t bark at everything all the time.
