Common conclusions

Based on your lifestyle you might be better suited to a cat rather than a dog. Cats make better pets if you have limited indoor space, have a busy lifestyle, or simply want a more independent pet. Cats are relatively quiet and are happy to be left alone to sleep and entertain themselves for most of the day. They don’t need walking, so cats are often well-suited to less active people. Cats don’t need as much indoor space as dogs.

Based on your lifestyle you're equally suited to both cat and dog. If you really can’t choose between a cat or dog and can offer a good home to both, a puppy and kitten raised together will usually learn to live with each other right away, and may even become the very best of friends!

Based on your lifestyle, a dog may suit you better than a cat, although there are certain aspects in which a cat would suit you better. Dogs need lots of stimulation, fresh air, and regular walks, so they’re best suited to people who have a garden, live in rural areas, or have easy access to parks and open spaces. Unlike cats, they’re not naturally solitary animals so they need all the attention you can give them. Dogs also make great protectors as they get very attached to their owners.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
