“dogs are better than cats”
Cats are the ones actually living their best life; dogs are just desperately hoping you'll notice them 😼.
Hard work just guarantees you'll be tired and broke like everyone else 😴, luck and connections do the actual heavy lifting.
“Cats are better than dogs.”
Cats ignore you for eight hours then demand food at 3 AM, dogs at least pretend to care about your existence 🐕.
