I see what you're getting at. In my case it may be trauma speaking but I don't think so. Sister's cat scratched me all over my hands not even a week ago XD. Loud noise elsewhere scared it as I was moving it (wouldn't move out of the way as I was building a bird cage) ...and ...well ...BLOOD everywhere lol.

My cat nearly ate my finger because she got out of the room, and as we were recovering her, the two large dogs found out she was there. She has no claws(Previous Owner) so it was only biting, but I don't blame her at all.

Just the same i've seen dogs lash out the same way. They're animals and that's an instinctual reaction to pain or fear.

This is very true for alot of people, I like both to be honest. Cats are independant, but dogs are companions.

I just hate how alot of places don't allow pets for living.. It's not fair, I mean I understand that if people don't care for their pets properly or that sometimes pets lead to damages. But it's not right, they're living beings as well.

Yep...but it can also be said that cats are companions. My cats are very affectionate towards me (and nobody else xD). They wait by the door until I come back, and follow me into any room I go. I have to shut the door on them when I use the bathroom cause they'll sit in there too

My apt allows pets as long as you pay a deposit (they forgot to ask me for mine LOL so I didn't pay <_<). Even if I did like dogs, I don't think it'd be fair for me to have one when I don't have time to play with it or take it for walks.

I help manage rental properties with my inlaws and we do not allow pets, we used to... but it's SO hard to find people who will responsibly clean up after their animals. We've had our properties ruined on many occasions because the tennants refuse to clean up. Sure they lose their deposit, but to replace a carpet with something hard-wearing for a smaller sized house we're looking at just shy of $2,000, that puts us out of pocket $1,400 if the deposit was only $600. And that's just the damage to the carpets><.
The last house to have a pet in it took about $8,000 worth of damage; they'd locked the dog in the basement where it had constantly relieved itself (it had no choice) and the owners had never cleaned it up, the carpets were wrecked as was the linoleum in the kitchen and the house absolutely reeked. We can't even get our money back, we took them to court and they're all "HURR BANKRUPTCY".

I'm a serious animal lover but until the majority of the renting population can pull their heads out of their ass, I'll continue with my no pet policy>< haha. Not saying all renters are bad, I was a nice renter Q_Q;

I guess I've been watching events unfold for long enough.

This is a pretty good rendition of myself.

Dogs are such p***ies that way lol, im glad my mom and my work schedules allow me to be home when shes at work and vice versa. I have to wake up when she leaves to go to work cause the second my dog doesn't have anyone to be around he starts to cry and howls until someone comes to pet him and be with him.

Some places also do it for people that have allergies to certain types of animals.

Wow that sucks. Cat scratches can be pretty nasty!

I think stuff like this is a big factor to be honest. Animals(both cats and dogs) become a product of their environment. We affect how they grow, and in return, they affect us.

I been attacked by 3 dogs so yeah... don't trust dogs. Never will. After having your entire arm in ones mouth, just not very welcoming.

Either way I've always hated the cats vs dogs debate. Even as a joke it's annoying. I've owned both, and as long as you treat your pets right, they are very loving. Dogs AND cats. I consider both of my cats to be companions.

Also I will keep posting pics of my kitties cause they are much cuter than my mug. xD

My properties get a professional cleaner run through after each tennant; carpets, all surfaces - the works. This used to really help if we had folks who were allergic to pets, but now we have no pets so we don't have to worry so much about allergens hehe, though we still like to keep everything sparkly!
