you're either with us or you eat your own shit, there's no inbetween, what's it gonna be?!

Personally dont like cats as they favour the person that feeds them if someone round the corner starts feeding them better food than you do expect them too move into there house and never give you another thought (happend to an ex gf of mine and I was chuffed but she cried etc).

The dogs I keep (american bulldogs) are fiercly loyal and will lay there life on the line for you and are extremly protective of there owners and property, dont know of any cats like that although my aunt's cat is like a feral thing and is pretty scary chases stray dogs down the road etc.

Dogs ftw although more demanding of your time they also are more rewarding imo.

Dogs are loyal, people just buy cats because they're cute :/ As the above poster said, its worth spending time with dogs, it seems as though owners of cats have them so they don't have to pay any attention to them, and look it it every once in a while.

Nope, that´s completely untrue.
You have to work to get attention from a cat, whereas it´s much easier (i.e. automatically) to get the attention and loyalty from a dog. With a dog, it´s enough to be his "master" and that´s the case from day 1 when you buy it.
Of course, there are some people who don´t care about their cats and just share a place to live with them. But that´s not how it´s supposed to be. If you care about the cat, give it attention and generally give her a happy life, the cat will give it back to you. It just doesn´t come for free (like with a dog). It´s just easier to handle a dog.

No the cat's own you, we own the dogs. Most cat's usually don't like there owners and will go elsewhere if it’s better. Dogs will die for you, and I agree with above poster a lot more rewarding and smart and understanding of humans. Don’t see cats sniffing out drugs or finding missing ppl :<. Even if a cat could they wouldn’t, cats are wild and dogs are pets but some cats get adapted and become home cats and most are shits.

I use to own rabbits, like 30-40 including babies in an outside shed type thing (not a shed at all ^^) next door cats and wild cats would come and kill the babies or attack them all the time. I warned the nabiours if it didn't stop I would shoot it or let my 2 dogs (not nasty pitbulls) out when I see them. They didn't do anything about it until I shot one (hurt but not seriously) which made it all the way into my house. That fuckwit of a cat never tried it again or the ones a few doors down. It maybe nasty but how can you justify a pet killing someone else pets, cats are not really "pets" there wild animals, some adapt some don't and I hate the things.

 

[lilmissnaughty]

there are quite a few breeds of dog that would happily kill a rabbit btw and not to eat it either.
most folks r just generalising way to much here it seems.
our cats have never killed a rabbit.they got a phobia of em infact.might have summit to do with the fact our rabbit used to try to have sex with em...
would like to have a dog as well but in rented accomodation they got max pets limits.

Yeah, interesting things here...

Cats are smarter then dogs? I'll buy this "one species is smarter" crap when they start showing some intelligence that can be measured. For now, both are ex-"military"(wildlife) that are in the old folks home now. E to the Z living.

Cats attention is easy as pie, just ignore them. This has been actually proven, they don't like when people ignore them. Evidently a sort of an "attention whore" complex....well...cats...duh...

The point made about dogs being easier to master etc. Anyone CAN train a doggie to sit and poop outside, but when you truly train a dog, gain it's respect and such, it's a whole different story.

Most people don't even knowhow a properly trained dog, with respect to the owner, acts like.

Absolutely. When you get affection from a cat, it means something. Hitchcock, the cat I had when I lived in Wales, was an excellent cat; he used to sleep on the top of the kitchen shelves, and if you walked into the kitchen and said his name, you could hear this purr start from overhead, was great. I'd be sitting watching TV and practicing guitar or something, and he'd come and stretch himself out next to me and lay his head on my leg, the body language was something you could only interpret as real affection.

Hitchcock looking cute in a box...damn cat was crazy about boxes, he felt obliged to climb into every single space he could fit into. And some he couldn't (he was a big cat).

Also, people who say cats are more intelligent than dogs need a reality check. Dogs can herd sheep, guide the blind they can even sniff out cocaine and other illegal substances, even bombs. Dogs are much more valued society, while cats, well, contribute nothing.

Even the ancient Egyptians thought dogs were better

Yes, dog's are the man's slave. Cats just go their own way, dog's soo smart mate xD!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Forgot that people who don't have sex get cats, those that do get dogs to protect their poonanny.

It's a fact damnit!

 

[Huntingtons]

heh @ people saying they're smart coz they can sniff out cocaine - shall i mention their obesence sence of smell? if casts could do that they'd be used for it as well - or finding semen or people or whatever. i still favor cats any time, they're much more of an animal than a dog is... a dog could be a robot and no one would notice...

Are we talking about animals or pets? Wild cats or cat family i.e. a "lion" because you could mention wolfs etc. Dogs are more useful, more pet like and smarter. How many dogs have you seen that get stuck in trees or on roofs or run over as many times as cats? Only time my dog ever got stuck and I had to lift him up was when he thought he was an agile as his brother and wasn't as fat.

Are dogs allowed to run outside without their boss? I don't think so. Cats go out at night, thats why they get run over..

 

[Dantares]

Myself, I am a lover of cats as I find them to be more affection to me than dogs, but I really have nothing at all against dogs. Well, most dogs. I really can't stand the yappy ones like chihuahua's. What is the point of those ones apart from accessories to the rich and famous?

To me though the debate on which is smarter is a bit pointless as cats and dogs were kept for very different reasons. As far as I know, cats were brought in to control the population of vermine in houses and on farms, and selective breeding over time has taught them to be the perfect killers of small animals. Dogs were brought in for varying reasons, though I believe primarily for hunting purposes. Dogs were bred over time to be obedient and to be easier to train than cats and cats were just left to do what they were best at. Thusly dogs are easier to train than cats, but both can be trained to do some amazing things.

Over time their role has changed along with cats as the environment in which we live in was changed and both are now mostly used as pets and companions. Both take a lot of caring for and depending on how well they are treated make great companions for different kinds of people. Dogs make great companions for those with an active lifestyle and who can give them the exercise they need. Cats are fantastic companions for those who have a more restricted lifestyle and cannot go out as much.

As for the Egyptians, both the dog/jackal and the cat had their parts to play in their way of life. The dog/jackal was seen as the watchers of the dead and were thought to be the embodiment of the god Anubis. Cats were also venerated as they were believed to be the embodiment of the protection goddess Bastet.

Sorry to go all serious there.

You don't see stray dogs running up the pavement some times?

 

[Raven]

anyway, if you want an animal that will just die if you dont feed it/walk it get a dog, if you want an animal that will sort itself out if left alone get a cat. cats bring back animals and stuff because its thier way of contributing to the family, ofc its not nice to wake up to a half chewed rabbit but hey, at least they are thinking of the family

 

[Morchaoron]

bit silly that post i think
yes they're loyal, but at least cats you have to earn their trust,

my neighbourhood is full of slutcats, they just go to everyone meowing (or whatever its called) for attention...

also, these stupid cats just lay down in the middle of the road even with cars driving by all the time and always have staring contests with each other for hours, im not really impressed by their intellect...

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, leave a cat unfed in a room and it'll die as much as a dog.

Both can hunt if forced.

EDIT: And you're all forgetting the scientific evidence!

havnt seen a cat get stuck in a tree, only in cartoons... and most dogs are leashed so thats not really a valid argument either.
