I love all animals, but personally I say cats because they're calmer and more loving. But they're aloof enough to know when you leave you alone and can also be really independent. Dogs require more attention in order to be happy, while most cats are pretty content either way.
Of course it depends on their personality too and they all have different ones, just like people. To me, it depends how active of a lifestyle you have. Do you spend more time in front of the TV or outdoors?
If you're the indoor type, a cat is the better way to go. If you want a calm pet that will sit in your lap and love on you and purr, get a cat. If you want a hyperactive drool monster than is always ready to party but has to always go outside, get a dog.
But I say... Cat. <3.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
