looking to get a small house dog

[NT!]

if you get a kitten and treat it affectionately it will be very friendly towards you and much easier to care for than a dumb [censored] yorkie.

what do you mean 'act like a dog'? go fetch? no. be friendly, sit in your lap, play with you? sure. cats are more independent than dogs, which to me is a good thing. some people think it prevents them from being affectionate or causes them to think they own the place; this only happens if you don't treat the cat properly.
