Cat or dog? Deciding on a cat or dog involves essentially different considerations. These two domestic pets have completely different natural life styles. As a descendant of the wolf, the dog seeks a genuine attachment and wants to fit in, in a way akin to its antecedent’s subordination to the hierarchy of the wolfpack. In the majority of cases, the dogs needs a task; the goal in training most breeds was and remains directed towards achievable objectives, whether of watching, guarding, hunting, sniffing out scent, ratting, etc. Dogs require a great deal of exercise, movement and occupation in the company of their master. The cat on the other hand is predominantly a solitary animal, and does not seek subordination, for the most part loving peace and calm, and being petted and stroked – but only when it feels like it. A cat in the house tends to create an atmosphere of calm and well-being around itself, which transmits itself in a beneficial way to the people it lives with.
