Cats or Dogs, which do you prefer more.

[Encyclopedia]

Cats. I like dogs too but cats are more interesting and individual to me.

 

[Joel]

Dogs. Dogs love you forever unconditionally. Cats put up with your presence.

 

[Signal52]

I can't make a decision on this one. I love both for different reasons.

 

[photonrider]

Both, for me, too.

Cats, they are awesome.

Cats. Dogs just seem so dumb in comparison! A cat can make over a thousand different sounds for example compared with approximatley 10 for the average dog!
I do admire that dogs have very resourceful uses such as sniffer dogs, guide dogs and hearing dogs but i still think a cat has a more interesting character and the myth that they only put up with people around them just to be fed is totaly unfounded. Mine for example is as faithful as any dog and extremely playful. All my neighbours kids love playing with him and the other cats around our CoulDeSac where as the one dog owner in our street can't offer that with her 3 big dogs - letting them off the lead in the close is not a great idea so it can be argued that actualy a cat is a far more sociable creature!

Cats. They don't smell as much and dispose of their waste themselves.

Citation needed. Humans only use about a hundred different sounds in speech and my cats have never managed anything beyond purrs, meows, chirps, hisses and growls - much less "Excuse me, do you have some grey Poupon?".

That's just what he wants you to think.

All my neighbours kids love playing with him and the other cats around our CoulDeSac where as the one dog owner in our street can't offer that with her 3 big dogs - letting them off the lead in the close is not a great idea so it can be argued that actualy a cat is a far more sociable creature!

Cats play when they're ready to play - they socialise on their terms. You can get a dog to play with an arch of your eyebrow.

When you're done dogs stop when they're told to. Cats stop when they want to, either by walking away or by biting/scratching.

Cats. They don't smell as much

Except when they kill things and bring them home - or bring them home and let them die in the house. And their crap is unbelieveably smelly.

and dispose of their waste themselves.

If by "themselves" you mean "in your neighbour's gardens", then yes. But remember that you're a neighbour to someone else's cats.

Also, the litter tray in my dining room says "no".


I have both cats (2) and dogs (2). If I had to take any one of the pets, I'd take my black labrador Indy - but it'd be a wrench to leave my little psychomog Roffle.

 

[Jimlaad43]

And their crap is unbelieveably smelly.

Only if you feed it wet food. My cat has dry food and its poo doesn't smell.

 

[sumbrownkid]

A cat can be trained to use a toilet, so smelly poop is taken of there.

 

[Famine]

Our cats have dry food too - ignoring the wildlife one of them consumes.

Pick up a bit of cat crap and break it in half. There is almost nothing reekier. Even dog crap that they've emptied their glands onto isn't stinkier.

That is one well trained cat if it can clean out it's own litter box. 👍

I prefer dogs.

+1

Although it's very nice to have a cat sleep on you while you play Xbox.
So fluffy...

 

[TheBook]

Pick up a bit of cat crap and break it in half.

Why the hell would I want to do that?

On topic, I prefer dogs, only because I'm allergic to cats.

Mine don't use litter boxes, they go outside (most of the time).

 

[Dennisch]

Cats.

Because all dogs smell like dogs. No matter how often you wash them. If someone has a dog, you'll smell it on them, in their car, in their house. Always.

 

[priesty_lfc]

Dog everyday of the week.


Personally I don't see much point to owning a cat, they spend a lot of there time outside and the fact they bring birds and mice into your house is horrible. Also as famine has mentioned there poop stinks.....

In whose garden?

 

[HELLAFLUSH240SX]

I prefer dogs, although I would want a cat.
My dog dosent stink, the only problem with him is he sheds a lot, so we have to groom him pretty often.

 

[PeterJB]

In whose garden?

Usually ours, or the field behind the house.

 

[Dennisch]

My dog doesn't stink,

But it still smells like dog.

 

[Famine]

Usually ours, or the field behind the house.

Oh, well, in that case my dogs "dispose of their waste themselves".

 

[eight6er]

I voted for dogs as they do what they are told, they are fun and can be usefull too. I think cats are horrible useless creatures myself, with the odd few exceptions.
My neighbours had way too many cats when I was growing up and they never seemed to learn there is consiquences for sleeping on my car.

 

[Pagey279]

I went for cats, simply because I have one:

I don't see how anyone could hate that ^^^^

 

[HELLAFLUSH240SX]

But it still smells like dog.

A cat smells like cat, and a Honey Badger smells like a honey badger.

You don't have that with a cat, not sure about the badger though.

 

[Famine]

You absolutely can smell cats if you go into a cat house.

And I still have two of both.
