I tend to prefer cats because of that weird "pets on their terms" thing. The neighbor's cat didn't really let anyone touch him unless he wanted it.

I really have never had trouble with any cat we owned. They listen as well as the dogs do
Our one cat would meet us when we came home and say "hello" even

I’m trying to prove a point here

Our house is notorious for pet humor. My kids have always brought an assortment of critters home. Son “adopted” a sugar glider and named it Banquo. He brought home a wee Roborovski hamster (his friend couldn’t keep) and named it MacBeth. The daughter “adopted” an English Fantail Pigeon that a neighbor found in her tree (and couldn’t locate the owner). The son brought a parakeet home from another friend’s house (about midnight one night). When I asked what “that” was about, he relayed the friend had cats that made the bird nervous, so he gave him the bird since he knew his sister liked birds. A box turtle came to the house in lieu of being found upside down on the pavement in the neighborhood. (Son claimed that one - named it Flipper because it was flipped over ) The daughter recently “inherited” the MIL’s Green Cheeked Conure. I feel like I’ve run an animal rescue for years around here. -only signed up for the dog and chickens. Everything else just “showed up”.

I was putting my son’s clean clothes away and noticed his room has that “teenage boy” smell, so I went and bought a couple strong car scents and hid one in his room.
He came home last night and went to his room. He said, “Smells fresh in here.”
My daughter told him I hid a car scent in there. He’s been trying to find it. Says it’s smells like a new diaper smell.
I’m not telling.

I can relate! Rescue after rescue. Now I have to admit I did go crazy with rescuing lockdown birds, but then other birds started showing up (when you’re a bird person people find you to take more on).

So inside we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit, and 12 parrot species.

Seymour the pound cat and Pancho the lockdown rescue Chihuahua:

Bunny the pound dog

Greta the pound dog

These two “showed up”. Daisy was found under my husband’s truck as a starving 5 week old kitten. Suki outlived her human parents and the family was split on what to do with her…she is a force of nature and the four siblings (one of whom was a former coworker) did not want to take her on, but their mom’s dying words were “take care of Dad and take care of Suki”. I met that coworker again by happenstance the week of 11/2022…the week their dad had to go to a nursing home/memory care facility at the age of 94. Husband said “no”. I said let’s just give it a trial period. After 1 hour of being in our house, husband said she’s ours now.

Rico, sad lockdown rescue. Now much happier!

Moses the Cockatiel flew to a colleague’s husband’s shoulder in their yard. I gave advice on bird care until they could locate the owner. After a few weeks of no luck, they asked if we could take him on.

The rabbit. Gus-Gus (Colonel Gustard) arrived 2022 when my daughter passed by a neighbor’s house and saw him in a small cage in their garage. She could tell they were packing the car for a trip and asked if they needed rabbit care while they were gone (temps were in the 90’s—he would have died in that garage). They said she could have him. I said we would foster him until we could rehome him. After that first golden hour daughter declared “I love him”. She went to college and now I’m full time rabbit mama.

It’s a lotta work but I can’t imagine life without each and every one of them!

Good on you for that.

Only problem is that some added scents make me sick.

Me too
Also there's a study where airborne particles are a health issue
