Takes more work to take care of? My aunt says cats do and I say dogs take alot more work. I can do all of the feeding and litter things for Tavia in a few minutes and it leaves the rest of my time open to love on her and play with her. But my dogs every time I turn around they either want outside or want more food and water because our bowl isn't really big enough for three and we are working on that I just keep forgetting to get one at the store. And my dogs have to be walked and I have to give them baths more often because they are always finding something stinky to get into and our yard is fenced in. But they repay me with so much love same as Tavia. And with dogs the one thing you don't have to work at is getting them to play with you or love on you. With Tavia she loves on you when its in her want catagory which normally she wants loving alot. But I just wanted to know which one you have to actually work harder with in your home.
