Me and Beri rn
This is rage bait for sure. My dogs will happily snore cuddled in bed all day. My cat is demanding food at all hours even though he gets fed at exactly 8am and 5pm every day. We call the noise he makes machine gun meows because they are fast, loud, and relentless. The spray bottle lives on my bedside so I can get some sleep.
The vitamin D?
The vitamin D, right? 🙁
I’m a cat person who appreciates dogs, and this is spot on. Cats may demand food, but you can wait out a tantrum.
The fear of having to potentially clean up an accidental means I’m up no matter what if the dogs are waking me up. I don’t like cleaning up these messes, and the dogs actively look like they feel bad watching me do it. We’re all having a bad time.
I’d much rather have a sleepy, half-hearted argument with my cats than worry I’m depriving one of the dogs of going outside if they’re having an emergency. Apples to oranges.
“I appreciate dogs BUT I’ve imagined the worst dog and an idealized cat for my examples”
If I don’t wake up at 6 to let my dog out, he just…waits. If I’m stuck at work an extra couple hours, I don’t fear finding crap on the floor because dogs can hold it
