Jake Nickell on Cats and Dogs

What's better, cats or dogs?

My best friend in 4th grade, Chad B**th, quickly became my worst enemy when we got in a huge fight over which are better. We ended up doing surveys with our entire extended families over which they preferred. My family ended up being cat people and his dog people. We never talked since.

But now I have a dog of my own! And now I like dogs way more!

My Mom still prefers cats and has 2 of them.

I suppose that they both have their benefits. It really depends on the type of person you are and what kind of companionship you want to have with a pet.

My little bud Norman (half King Charles, half Pug) is sitting here next to me all cuddled up and snoring. I've never had a cat really show the kind of affection he shows.

I'm a changed man. Formerly a cat person, I've now become a dog person.
