People that argue that dogs are better than cats because "cats can't be trained" almost always own really poorly trained dogs.

Cats can be trained! I took it serious this time around and she's learned how to stand up, shake, and high five. The trick is finding something they really, really like to eat since they won't do it just to make your happy đ
Edit: Also weird that cats are thought to be worse because they're (sometimes) less subservient? Like, is that the only quality of a pet?

Thatâs an owner problem, not a cat problem. Cats are what they are. I think most people that dislike cats do so because they canât treat them poorly and command them yet still get that subservience from them like dogs as you mentioned. They donât want or like animals that tell them to fuck off.
One way I heard it said: Cats form their own opinions, cats require consent, cats come with boundaries. Beware of people who don't "get" cats.
I don't necessarily think every person who likes being in charge is automatically a bad person. Dogs are fine too. But it's generally a warning sign if someone can't cope with not being in charge.
I love this comment - cool insight fellow human.
Thatâs a better way to say it. Agreed.
Meanwhile, cat owners: This is my roommate, their existence heals me
i taught mine to high-five without food. He just loves being pet that much
I taught my cat to do it for treats. For weeks after, he would walk around the house high-fiving the furniture and look offended when a treat didn't fall from the sky.
That's adorable âĽď¸
I don't think doing tricks is what people have in mind when they say they want to train their pet
