Nah, if someone said cats smell I'd be defending them too

What Clod said re smells is quite a good point though - we have a pretty wet climate here. The doggy smell I refer to is pretty much wet hair smell. You get it in school halls too sometimes - all the hot wet kiddies in their jumpers give it off. In Britain I have only rarely been to a house where I couldn't tell the owners had a dog.

Cat breath can smell vile, but they have smaller lungs to blow out of. Similar principle re cat farts

Binky, no dog is really low maintenance if it is looked after properly. Think vet visits for injections, worming, de-fleaing, tooth care, 2-3 walks a day, pawprints, hair etc. Any animal will have an impact on your life and one which isn't in a cage/ tank will have a big impact. I'm not being anti-dog now, I'd say the same to a reluctant cat owner - think it through very carefully first.
