Cats vs. Dogs

*trunk

LOL @ HimAgain. I like dogs because they are ALWAYS happen to see you. I don’t want to take care of an animal that doesn’t appreciate me and want to give me attention when I call to them!

cats rule & dogs drool

besides how many times a week do ya read about some putz’s dog mauling someone vs some cat making pest of self … nuff said

Sure dogs are lovely, but cats can really teach you a thing or two about life and relationships…
Emotionally speaking, the relationship with a dog is a parent-child one, the relationship with a cat, instead, is a more adult-adult one. Whoever lives with a cat knows what I’m talking about.
The fact that cats don’t seem to appreciate people is a clichè that is absolutely untrue.

Dogs are more useful to society. Think of all the service dogs for the blind, drug sniffing dogs, police dogs etc…
It doesn’t necessarily make them better, but it’s certainly a point in their favour.
If anyone wishes to bring up that more people are seriously injured by dogs, that’s generally the owner’s fault in the way they raised them. It would appear both cats and dogs are better than some humans in that respect.

Dogs Rule

I like both, however, Cats ARE SMARTER than Dogs. If you let a dog into a house with a litterbox, he will run to it, thinking it is a smogasboard. Have you ever seen a Cat eat Dog poop?

I think it’s a silly debate, because if you like animals in general, you will become attached to a dog or cat, if it’s living in your home for a few months, whether you’ve ever owned one or the other before. I know so many people who say they never liked/owned one or the other until they got one, and then grew to love it. With occasional exceptions, cats and dogs both have the potential of awesomeness. Why make a fight out of it?

Nice comparisons! However, a key one is missing – cats, if allowed out of the house (see your point 10), can be enormously destructive of wildlife. They kill more birds in the Upper Midwest, for example, than all natural predators combined. In Australia, they have driven many marsupial species to or past the brink of extinction. Worldwide, they have extirpated dozens of species. While dogs can also be destructive of wildlife, their effects do not remotely approach those of cats run wild.

Close… but I have to say it is a dead even tie. So many good and logical points. But they were created equally… Both have pros and cons. Cats are independent while dogs rely on a pack. Dogs are clearly more usefull to us, but does that mean they win?

But on the smart chart, cats are at the lower end right next to chickens!

People ask people “are you a cat person or a dog person?” I don’t even want to consider having to make a choice. One of each is fine.
But on the negative side, I have to agree with Tom when he points out, correctly, that cats on the loose are menaces to birds – and to gardens (they don’t use their owner’s plot). And dogs on the loose are menaces too. If you have pets – bring them up responsibly.

Interesting observation about cats and dogs:
Dogs are honest, they are not smart enough to understand deceit. Cat’s on the other hand can and do deceive their owners if it suits their needs.

Only a putrid cat owner would say “nuff said”, as if THEIR word is best and last. (they wish!)
A dog is a man’s best friend. A cat is a woman’s. All others are trans… (except for women who love dogs, because they are the SMART ones!)
If you love cats, leave the window open on your new car… you’ll change your mind.
Hike through the woods with your pet. If it’s a dog, you’ll both have a good time; if it’s a cat, … get a ladder!
A cat is little more than a moving decoration. (I used constraint…)
Ask my dog, he’ll tell you: ALL cats are stupid!

Response to Dominic Lee…. The intelligence level of someone making a remark like you did, suggests that their IQ level is probably on par with lizards. Dogs and cats have more smarts than many people I know.

In response to Ron – It is apparent that you severely lack the intellect to handle yourself in a debate which is why you are resulting to insults.

I’m guessing your dog is smarter than you are which is why you are stating to just ask your dog.

I’d like to see a cat lead the blind to cross the street, or protect it’s owner from a bear, warn police of a fire, or sit beside it’s dead owner for days until found. Somehow they say cats are smarter, but they’re completely incapable of loyalty and serving a purpose…if they truly are smarter and choose to make themselves useless, so called independent (read, not trustworthy) then, that says much about the animal. Dogs are courageous, loyal, always happy to see you, will find their ways home if lost over thousands of miles, and follow your coffin till they bury you and wait for your return for years on end. Give me a dog.

Dogs and cats are both great pets! I have both, but dogs are dirtier. There is nothing worse when a dog cleans his privates or starts humping on your leg. Dogs are trained to do what they do. Cats are the same way. I have a cat that knows my emotions, whenever I am upset she is there to cheer me. Cats are more like humans, you have to earn their trust where as a dog, if you feed him he is a freind for life.

I have to say i perfer dogs even though i have 4 cats and 1 dog ._. dogs<3 ((dog's name: gwenavere ;])) cats<3 ((cat names: ninja, kiki, moretamor, and moretisha :B))
peace love and w/e,

i like cats better, i love dogs too but… 1. my first word was cat. 2. i have lived with cats my hole life. 3. cats are cheaper than dogs. 4. cats are small, small is cute. 5. i have two cats, both are sweet. 6 i have two dogs, one is mean and one is sweet but is ALWAYS fallowing my mom, and cats will try someone new if they love them. 7. cats have cool looking eyes, most of the time amber, yellow, green or brown, but dogs eyes are most of the time black.:( 8.cats fur is softer most of the time. 9. cats have whiskers, witch feel cute on your face. 10. cat are gentle, sweet, and just plane fun!!!!! go cats!:D

I love both cats and dogs. I have a 4 lb chihuahua named Pedro and a 16 lb cat named Princess (I have her on diet food the problem is she just eats way to much of it suggestions?) Both dogs and cats make very good pets i don’t know why anyone would try and favor one animal over the other. They both are loving and are both good for the reason you have them… love and companionship! Plz comment back if you agree. Plz no mean comments!!!

I once had a cat that would run to me if I called for him. He did it just because. So you can’t say cats won’t appreciate you.

well it depends, if you want something that will pee and poop on your rug get a dog, if you want something that will keep your feet warm while your sleeping get a cat

the smallest feline is a masterpiece.

in ancient times cats were worshipped as gods,they have never forgoten this,

a cat has nine lives. for three he plays,for three he strays, and for the last three he stays.

if a man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man
but it would deteriorate the cat.

dogs believe they are human cats believe they are god

i woke up once and my cat was neading me like i was her mom. now, how can u say cats dont appreciate you?

When you perceive cats are showing you affection 9 times out of 10 you are mistaking that for its desire for self gratification. Cats are selfish and are one of two animals on this planet that will torture it’s pray once caught. People think that cats are so clever when they bring dead mice back into the house, but remember that small rodent suffered before it died.

The other animal that tortures other animals is man. Dogs are better than cats and dogs are better than man.

i like checken:)

it is simple cats are awesome and dogs suck but most cat owners have no clue how to take care of their cat i mean once i saw a cat on a leash and a cat in a rabbit hutch and its those little things like forcing your cat to stay indoors that make up animal curelty

Outdoor cats are less likely to have a weight problem, cats get their exercise hunting, stalking, climbing etc. Indoor cats not only have less opportunity for exercise, but can also overeat through boredom.

Outdoor cats suffer fewer stress related problems. Solitary indoor cats rely heavily on their owners for stimulation, and can become very dependent. Should the owner have to spend long periods away from the home this can cause the cat stress. Out of the house, cats can find social stimulation by interacting with other cats; thus they are more independent.

dogs are parasitick poop michines
