the rook nook

This is just a quick suvey.
This does be an interesting question.

Cats, there much easier to look after.

No hesitation, dogs. Not a cat lover at all, sneaky feckers

Cats. All 9 of the Kitty Horde haven't even come close to causing the devastation that the 3 dogs have.

Dogs, but I really like cats as well and will probably adopt some in the future.

Dogs. Not a big cat lover.....what was that thing I heard before:

If you die in your house alone, your cat will eventually eat you....your dog would starve to death rather than eat you.

Or something along those lines, the loyalty of dogs is a big thing for me. Cats just seem to want someone to rub them and feed them, whoever does this will do!

Like dogs just fine, but would always choose cats.

Have dogs, have had cats like them both equally but also like my guinea pigs and birds all equally no favourtism here..usually lol.

Excerpts from a Dog's diary:
8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVORITE!
10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
1:00 PM - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVORITE!
1:30 PM - ooooooo. bath. bummer.
4:00 PM - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVORITE!


Excerpts from a Cat's diary
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh
meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and
the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the
occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat
another house plant.

DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by
weaving around their feet while they were walking
almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the
stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these
vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit
on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the
headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I
am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a
good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to
plan.

DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are.
For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture.
This time however it included a burning foamy chemical
called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a
liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb
still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their
accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the
event. However, I could hear the noise. More
importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to
MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and
how to use it to my advantage.

DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are
flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely
released and seems more than happy to return. He is
obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has
got to be an informant, and speaks with them
regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due
to his current placement in the metal room his safety
is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of
time......

Does it have to be either or? I like all animals, but share my house with a cat at the moment.
To continue the Cats vs Dog debate:
When a dog sees all the food and love you lavish on him he thinks you are a god, when a cat sees all the food and love you lavish on them they think they are a god!:)

I have a dog, he was hard work when younger and still is a head wrecker at times . Why ? cuz is a dog .

This reminds me of the whiskas add on the radio where they try to picture dogs as stupid and cats as far superior intelligence wise.

Everytime it comes on I think...ya that's why there are so many police cats, sniffer cats, cats for the blind etc YES I do take it to heart a little too much!


I don't think those that prefer one over the other ever really understand each other to be honest!

dogs 10/10
cats 0.5/10
as cats scratch ow!:(

I only have to say '' psssst , psssssst , hissssss ,hisssss ' and my dog goes ape looking for this (invisable ) cat that has intruded on his patch .

Works all the time he he

Can't beat the loyalty of a dog.

daisy123

Dogs. I like to be liked.

RebelRockChick

Has to be dogs for me! Have had a cats in the past and been around them all my life but always prefered dogs.

Remember someone saying to me before that most people prefer dogs because they seem more friendly because they have eyebrows, whereas cats don't

admiralofthefleet

dogs definitely, they'd never rob your dinner

jenenena

Aww it has to be dogs I love me ole dogs ya cant beat them theyr so loyal

Robot1

I can never understand this either/or debate regarding cats and dogs. All animals are beautiful pure lives. They should never be judged in terms of human traits (sneaky, loyal etc) because they are not human. They are their own perfect unique beings.

This debate reveals more about human characteristics than those of the animals that we are so privileged to share our lives with.

Exaclty, which is why we are choosing which we like better! How should we judge their personalities/charachteristics if not by our own standards?

Anyway, I have dogs, I prefer dogs, never had cats but just don't feel anything for them. With regards to a dog's 'loyalty' towards you, is it not more a case of dependance than loyalty? They need you for Food/Water/Shelter. Not to mention needing to feel part of a pack.

Good post,

Cats descended from solitary hunters which and did not need team work to survive. A cat fancier would say that dogs are with humans because they need them, cats because they choose to.

Some people like goldfish more than both :pac:

Sigma Force

One of my dogs is too self centered to be loyal, some mistake possesive behaviour as being loyal lol. I've had cats more loyal than my 2 pooches.

Can't beat the loyalty of a guinea pig (unless the other person has a carrot in their hand).

Jimbo

Dogs for sure.
More loyal.
More intelligent.

Alfasudcrazy

My 3 dogs are always following me about - always interested in what I am doing. Our 3 cats just give me a shout when their feeding time is overdue. Although our newest little cat is a real pet but she likes to be left alone unless she tells you she wants attention.

Its always dogs for me - a cat can't ever form the same bond with humans as a dog can do.
