Dogs are one of my favorite pets, even though I've only ever owned cats.
dogs always remind me of how they're sister taxa to wolves. Why don't you get a dog?
My family has just always been a cat family. 
fair enough I think it's cool how cats can see at night so they can hunt
That's really cool, I totally forgot about that!
yeah I've always wanted one to get vermin for me. I live in the desert so centipedes, scorpions, and roaches around.
That sounds awful, I hate spiders so much nevermind bigger creepier ones with big stingers.
yeah they range in a lot of sizes like 9mm to .3 inches
