Outlier
I have never liked house cats much. I'm allergic to their fur and the way that they always seem entitled to their territory. They aren't aware of their own domestication and how good they have it, typically. The constant napping, the raised tail, the way they scratch and bite whenever they are in a bad mood, the way they come and go as they please. I don't like the smell of cat food or the havoc they cause in the garden. Their habits and personalities leave much to be desired in my estimation. Compared to dogs, they appear ungrateful, impersonable, they put me ill at ease with their dispassionate malaise. Perhaps I am biased from my own experience. The fact remains, domestic cats are at best an inferior analog to their jungle-dwelling predecessors. Those that hunt in streaks and prides, those that can take down full-grown ungulates in the desert or the rainforest. Those whose haunting figures are carved into cave walls, legendary in strength and speed. Feared among tribes and people across the world and throughout history. There's cats on other continents that can climb a tree with a full grown deer carcass in their mouth. I heard that once, and I bet it's true.

The Most Dangerous Breed
I can be a rambunctious and silly fellow. I do like smiles, as intense as I've seemed to be the last year. It's a mix of welcoming the sense of maturity while missing the creative spark of innocence.

A Dog Training Guide For Beginners
The "Stay" command is an essential part of dog training. It will make your dog more obedient and easier to control. It will be especially useful when you have guests over and don't want to get distracted. This command should be practiced first. Once your dog has mastered the "Sit" command, use the "Stay" command as a reward. If your puppy is still chewing on his food, reward him by petting him on the floor. After your dog has stayed for a few seconds, gradually increase the number of steps you take before rewarding him with affection.
