Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! I want you all to know how very much I appreciate your visits and kind comments! It really means a lot to me! Thank you so much!
In response to my last post, some of you had commented that you were surprised that cats are more popular than dogs. I wanted to stress that I think this may be because some landlords will allow cats more readily than dogs, because cats, if they are going to "destroy" anything, it will be our furniture and not the property itself, whereas dogs can sometimes destroy the property (the larger dogs).
Not only that, but I think as well that cats are generally quieter, so landlords who own apartment buildings, especially ones that are not soundproof, are more likely to accept cats, as sometimes dogs can bark or whine. Cats are generally more independent than dogs, so they don't usually have the same separation anxiety when the owners are not at home.
This is what I think, and this has been what some landlords have told me, so I am just mentioning this to give some food for thought. It isn't that dogs are less liked than cats, (in some cases they are), but are less accepted for the above reasons I mentioned. One last thing is that dogs need to be taken for a walk on a leash at least a few times a day. This is not easy for people with less mobility. Cats, they take care of this themselves as long as they have a clean litterbox.
