minus-squarePronell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 days agoAbsolutely true. Dogs can be trained to not do those things, but mine are encouraged to get on my lap and lick my hands. The quiet acceptance of cats is extremely nice too. I can’t quantify it in research, but I am glad I do not need to choose one over the other. Plus, my dogs are good to my cats and vice versa. My sister is similar to you and just doesn’t care for my dogs.
