>>12345147I used to have two cats and a dog when I was a kid. One of the cats hissed at me when I approached, so I knew not to cuddle. The dog was very cuddlable. The other cat didn't show signs comprehensible by children to stop contact, and left me a huge scar on my forehead :D
Cats can love and embrace, street cats do it all the time in my area. I now know how to read the more subtle signs, I've read books about it. Still, I prefer dogs. I love training my dog, I love going outside with my dog, I love interacting with other dog owners in the park and letting her play with other dogs. It's just not the same experience
