And? Cats keep pests at bay. Dogs protect property. I prefer cats. They don't bark and they don't require walking outside at 6AM. I hate walking. Driving car or whatever is okay, but not walking. Walking is too slow and too much energy with little result. Even if I spend more energy on a bike, I prefer to be actually moving or going somewhere with a decent speed. Average speed of walking person - 5km/h. Average speed of casual biker - 20km/h. My average - 35km/h. Top speed - up to 50km/h. What's the difference? The same as between wasting your time to walk 25km(which is 5 hours) in one direction and total of 10 hours to return or to go to the beach in 1 hour, have a breakfast, return then go somewhere at noon.
