Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 3255086, member: 67"] I've had both, dogs require more care (i.e. walking, exercise). I have a cat now and she fits my lifestyle. A big part of pet ownership which I failed to think about is vacationing and leaving town. There Make sure you factor in your lifestyle, particularly traveling/vacationing. If you have a pet sitter, or someone you can trust to watch your pet in your house while away, then you are free to make any choice and any size. Our cat was thrust on us by our daughter when she moved, and we are now restricted to travel plans of one week max. We won't let someone in our house to care for her. But she doesn't require a whole lot of care other than food, water, litter box and some toys scattered around when we are away. Also pet hair has become an issue, with hair on clothes, furniture and practically everywhere. Its minor but I would factor that in your decision also, meaning hairy pet or not. [/QUOTE]
