I'm trying to decide whether I should get a cat or a dog. What are the differences between the two?

The main difference between cats and dogs is their size and energy level. Cats tend to be smaller and more sedentary than dogs, which can make them better suited for apartment living. Dogs require more exercise and space to move around in, so they may be better for people with larger homes who want something that will keep them entertained. Additionally, cats generally have a quieter purr compared to the loud barking of dogs.
