my cats love me unconditionally.
or so you think
Go travel abroad for 2 years, come back home and see if they even remember you. Cats don't like their owner no matter what he does to them. I don't think I need to link to any resources that prove cats don't love unconditionally as dogs do because it's common knowledge by now
Dogs "love", because it's instinct.
Dogs are pack-animals that are hard-wired to show behaviors that seem like love, but aren't.
I've seen dogs randomly turn on their owners because of the same instincts.
- Whereas, if a cat shows you love - it's the real deal.
Cats aren't genetically designed to be pack-animals - they have no instincts to make them behave as dogs do.
If a cat shows affection - it's operating beyond the boundaries of its genetic design.
The cat loves you for real.
And it won't turn on you like a dog will, either.
If you don't like dogs that's fine by me I don't care, but everything you said about them is objectivley wrong
A dog acts as its owner educates it to act, it learns from his/her behaviour and immitates it, just like a child from a parent. I've literally seen dogs from a race that would be considered aggressive act really kindly and friendly and vice versa I've heard of dogs that are globally considered friendly the likes of Golden Retriever, Labrador etc. act agressively and uneasy, due to being treated harshly and neglected by their owners.
Dogs don't love their owner because it's an instinct lol. They love food (sometimes too much) because it's an instinct yes (as are some humans) but they love their owner because he/she makes them part of their family (i.e tribe/pack). Like humans dogs are pack animals but you don't need a wife and kids to survive. My dog before I adpoted her was a whole year all by herself stray and she did survive in the desert sands alone. But now she likes sleeping in my bed, licking me and showing her appreciation in all sorts of ways.
Dogs love their owners unconditionally whereas cats don't, this has been proven empirically, use goodle scholar to find sources if you don't believe me. Cats don't show empahy. It's the only animal family in nature that likes to play with its food/prey. However that doesn't mean you can't enjoy raising a cat and loving it! nor it doesn't mean that cats don't deserve a good home. It is just how our world works wherever you like it or not.
