Are there men who treat pets good and love their pets ?

Been accused of spoiling them too much. It may be a definitional issue. What some define as loving I actually think is rather cruel. Dogs in an urban environment where they have to be on a leash outdoors, taken out to poop, are left alone all day inside, is more cruelty than love in my eyes. But then I am a cat person. Yet keeping a cat indoors entirely to gaze longingly out the window at birds and other animals in cruel as well, imho. My two are allowed outside, and there are those who say that is cruel because of the wide range of threats outside. But the three of us have bonded into some sort of detente. I recognize their individual personalities and idiosyncrasies; we "talk" to each other; t am a proper servant as any cat expects. Otoh, they know my boundaries, which includes a sunset curfew to be back inside the house, leave your prized conquests (mice and birds) at the door although they will get lavish praise and treats, furniture they are allowed on and not, what can be scratched and not, etc.
