Dogs will give you unconditional love until the day they die. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

I wondered briefly if cats also came back after death, then dismissed the thought because as far as I had ever been able to tell, cats do not have a purpose.

No two dogs are alike. And yet, all dogs have something in common that makes them dogs, and makes them different from cats. The same goes for men and women.

And a dog knows better what it's like to be a dog than a cat does.
