I like cats, especially long haired persians. I've owned two. However, unless I live on a farm where they can be outside cats I'll NEVER own another cat again. Having a litter box in the house is the nastiest thing. Also I don't care what anyone says cat's will piss on somethign eventually, be it your carpet, a towel or shirt you left out on accident and their box was too full so they decided to piss on it instead. And cat piss is the nastiest, hardest shit to clean out of anything. I had my two cats with my gf before getting my two dogs we have now. I absolutely love dogs. But I'll never own a Husky type dog inside the house. I.e. any long haired dog that sheds. that is just nasty. I have a Boxer and a shitzu and they are both the cleanest dogs I've ever seen. I've been to people's houses that have husky type dogs and they stink and get their hair over everything, cars, couches, etc. It's disgusting. But what's even worse is the people that own cats and you walk into the house and you can smell the cat piss everywhere. After having owned cats I can spot a cat piss house everytime I walk into it.
