    Why your cat so far to the right? They are a lot easier to look after than dogs. You have to walk dogs 53 times a day or at least they think so.

    The cat doesn’t care, a good day for a cat is when they spend 75% of the time on your bed.

      I’m gonna go ahead and say the scale is logarithmic, because the jumps from cat to dog to baby/horse to dragon are all depicted about the same and are definitely not

    I’m pretty sure birds take way more effort than dogs and cats.

    I’m pretty sure, as a dog owner that ferrets are both more effort and more work than a dog.

      Indeed all sorts of things are off… I have to assume that ferrets are at least as much fun as cats… And then to claim the cats and dogs (and most other animals) are on the same line of effort vs fun?

      Cats are waay less effort than dogs, do you have to walk your cat every day? No.

      You feed cats, let them in and out to poop, what else is there to do?

      Dogs, dogs are great, but they’re needy, they want constant attention, know how to whine, bark, beg, eat lots more. Dogs are waay more effort than cats.

      This chart should be titled “Chart with multiple things wrong with it”… Then to claim it’s official on top of all this.

      Imho dogs are easier than cats. Cats vomit all over the place in weird spots so it’s a constant cleaning struggle. Dogs, once trained, are pretty straightforward

        The hardest part about owning cats is when you put the complicated cat scratching post/bed thing together.

    That thing depicted there looks like a 7-9mo old baby. That’s when things get fun, but still a lot of effort.

    I found the odd one out: tamagotchis aren’t pets, they aren’t even real

    Tropical fish and cats being the same effort is absolute madness.

    Have you tried setting up a saltwater aquarium? I cry just watching tutorials.

      Wait until you pay the credit card bill it all went on! Ongoing maintenance is not too costly, but the initial set up is easily $1000+. And that does not include the fish, live rock, invertebrate, etc. I have no regrets starting a saltwater aquarium (I started it in 2010), but I needed to be at a place in my life/career where that was feasible.
