Healing

I've had a cat, and now, I have a dog in Japan.  The cat appeared suddenly in my house, and she was always on the attic.  My family tried to catch her and take her to a place to protect lost stray animals. But we couldn't.  She was moving in the attic every day, and she didn't go out from my house.  On the other hands, when my dog was a puppy, he ran away from my house many times.  Always, someone caught him for us.  Sometimes neighbourhood, children, and the police....  The dog don't like stay in my house.  My dog was always barking to people and another dog, so we needed to educate him to stop barking.  But the cat was always calm.  In addition, the cat can go to outside by herself, and she came back.  We didn't need to care of her.  Just giving meals and playing together. In my dog's case, we had to work together for health.  If I take my eyes off, he might go away.  I always care for my dog.  However, I prefer dogs because a dog was always around me, so I was reassured.  A cat moved anywhere she want to go, and she was outside for a long time.  A animal makes me release my stress, so if I ask "which is your favorite animal, a cat of a dog," I would answer "A dog."
