The battle between cats & dogs has been waged since the dawn of
time. Seemingly opposites, cats & dogs can be seen as metaphors
for the two sides of our own psyche. The desperate side of us
that wants nothing more than to be loved; and the independent
side, that can take care of itself.
The dog loves everyone. He is sloppy and carefree. He is

this embarrassing level of devotion, they depend on us for
everything. Dogs must be walked, fed, and bathed by their
owners. They can't take care of even the most basic needs in
life. Dogs need us. They really, really need us.
Cats, on the other hand, don't need anyone. They can take care
of themselves. Cats are wholly and completely self-sufficient.
Cats prefer to be left alone. They don't want to be bothered
with the pettiness of our silly lives. Cats won't be made fools

for your return, the cat hasn't even noticed that you left.
Take your dog out for a walk and you'd better bring a poop bag
to dispose of the giant deposit he's going to make on your
neighbor's lawn. Cats can take care of their own bathroom needs,
thank-you very much. All they need from us is a relatively clean
litter box. Heck, if you let the cat
