I've had numerous tabbies throughout my life and I took care of a Husky, Blue Staffy, and Cockerpoodle in the past (not at the same time), I loved them all, but ultimately cats are just more self sufficient than dogs, and significantly quieter than the small dogs I've had to take care of
I wish I had the same quiet experience. My cat is louder than any dog I’ve ever seen.
He just walks around screaming. He has since he was a kitten. 16 years later and it’s just as loud just but a bit deeper lol.
