Do cats or fish love their owners more?

Fish

Side Score: 2

Cats of course. I have studied cats for many years and learned that they love there owners deeply. They just do not know how to act on it.

Trust me I went to collages for cats at CL university.

Fish can't love their just dumpster fires! Cats, on the other hand, are not dumpster fires

Fish do not posses the necessary neurological components to harbor complex emotions such as love or anger or jealousy.

Indeed, it is questionable as to whether felis domesticus has these emotions either, as their brain is the size of a walnut.

Mostly, what their owners interpret as "love" by their felines is merely a learned behavior for provoking affection so they will continue to be fed and sheltered and have their needs met.

Hell, even dogs aren't much better. Studies show that the smartest of dogs, like Jack Russel terriers and labs and collies, have roughly the same brainpower as a slightly dull 2-year-old child.

All that loyalty crap is, well, just that. Crap. Dogs know not to bite the hand that feeds them.

The only species of fish smart enough and complex enough to be capable of such thoughts and feelings are too large or too wild for the typical home aquarium. Meanwhile cats, although looking after their own selfish interests, are indeed capable of loving an most cat owners would claim yes they do.

I am a fish whisperer and every time I talk to a person fish it tells me that its owner doesn't give it enough of their time and how they hate living in small tanks not big enough for them. But when I talk to a happy fish they tell me how their owner is the best person ever and how they love their life.

I'm not sure I believe you. How exactly do you communicate with the fish?

Here are my steps to talking to a fish first you must look it right in the eyes then give them a bunch of compliments then you take them out of the tank then you give it 10 kisses which then makes an unbreakable bond between you which then allows you to talk to them.
