like had a cat like for a short stretch of time

a couple months I like the cat

I mean I'm a I'm an animal person just not to the

extent of

wanting to logistically figure out how to have an animal

while being a single guy and traveling a lot.

Yeah, that would be tough.

Well, you know, would you get a dog or a cat?

You could.

I mean, if it was no issues attached, I would be a dog.

But if I were to get like an animal right now, it would be a cat because it's just so much easier.
