illinoisairship: Dogs over cats. End of story. Whoops. Now, it might be a mistake to go with such a polarizing issue. I get the impression that many of you tumblr folk are (ahem) pretty serious about your cats, but  IllinoisAirship is firmly in the dog camp on this one. Not those little yippy dogs, but the big friendly family dogs that embody everything that is good about friendship. Who’s happier to see you? Who’s gonna want to hang out? Who’s going to make attractive men and women stop to pet them and talk to you? Who’s a good boy? I’m just sayin’. Now, I’m not anti-cat. I’ve owned cats. I like cats. But every time someone wants to argue with me about this they bring up their cat as “one of the good ones” and start describing all its positive qualities like it’s an exception to the species. And most of these positive qualities seem uniquely dog-like. It’s like you’re naming all the cool shit you paid extra for on your sandwich when mine came with all that for free. So, I guess it might save me some grief to say I’m not talking about your cat. Your cat is great. And I like cats. I used to date this girl who hated cats so much she called them “baby killers” because of the urban legend that cats will suffocate infants. See? That shit is harsh. Plus, it’s bullshit. That’s not me. I like cats. But if you fall down a well will Mittens go for help? I doubt it. “But cats are so much smarter than dogs” you might say. Who cares? Who said I wanted another roommate? Do you think I’d rather hang out with a friendly janitor or a dick professor? I think it’s been firmly established that smarter people don’t necessarily make for nicer people. Dogs are just big folks who drool, shed and think you’re pretty cool for just being you. They don’t mind chillin’ on the couch for a few hours as long as they get plenty of exercise. It’s like living with a Lacrosse player. The sheer huggability should be enough to carry me over on this one. Airship out.
