I have 0% problem keeping my birdy buddies off my chair
Your cat sounds like my Hippie cat. With him it’s cords. He chews on them. Unplugged, plugged in it doesn’t matter. I swear he has ruined about $1000 in phone cords for our cell phones. And lamp cords and any other cord he can sink his teeth into. Apparently he doesn’t get enough of a jolt to make him never want to chew one again. And Delilah chews plastic bags. Trying to keep the two of them out of trouble is many times harder than anything my crazy chickens get intoOverall, I think chickens are less work than dogs or cats.
Getting everything set up: Our dog was the easiest. We kept her in a small area of the house for a few weeks until she learned to ring a bell to let us know when she needed out. After that she had the run of the house. The chickens needed a coop and run built, but that was a one time thing lau ok, not really once you factor in chicken math). I feel like we are constantly cat proofing the entire house for the cat. She can get anywhere and puts everything in her mouth. "What are you doing", "what are you touching" and "stop eating that" are her nicknames.
Frequency of health problems: If you compare individuals, chickens are the easiest, closely followed by the dog and then the cat (see "stop eating that" above)
General Care: Technically, the chickens are the easiest. I only need to feed/ water them and clean up the poop boards in the morning, then I can forget about them the rest of the day. I often do more with them throughout the day, but I don't have to. The dog needs to be fed twice a day and walked/let out several times a day. The cat needs to be fed twice a day and requires constant vigilance to make sure nothing is left out. No crochet projects left on the table for a few minutes, no cardboard Amazon boxes left out (she doesn't play in them, she chews on them ), no hair ties on the counter while getting ready in the morning, no unrinsed dishes left by the sink... It is a struggle for someone who HATES housework It is a good thing we love her
Oh no! Thank goodness Ella doesn't like the wire covers we put over all our cords. I sympathize over the plastic bags though. Ziplocs and bread bags are Ella's favorites. She also ate through aluminum foil to get to a loaf of banana breadYour cat sounds like my Hippie cat. With him it’s cords. He chews on them. Unplugged, plugged in it doesn’t matter.

Good post, I agree with you 100%. But, at least cats and dogs can be potty trained.You don't have to worry about potty training, obedience, etc.
Tell that to my smallest dog, ha! She has no problem holding it in... as long as you're watching. Unsupervised, the indoors is her toilet. (To be fair, the shelter/her foster family did note that this was an issue with her.)Good post, I agree with you 100%. But, at least cats and dogs can be potty trained.
