Dogs or Cats, which are better?

curlzy

This argument seems to come up here pretty regularly. One of the big arguments of the dog advocates seems to be that cats will eat you if you die whereas dogs never will. Just wondering if the following article will change their minds?

Just to add, I totally don't blame the dogs in this case.

So why start another?

Some people like cats and not dogs.
Some people like dogs and not cats.
Some people like both.
Some people like neither.

End of.

There's no poll.

After 3 or 4 pages of discussion, how will we know for definite which is better with no poll?

Well I know Dogs are better, I was thinking of everyone else on the fence.

I say to settle the argument we chose one cat and one dog. We set them a series of tasks which will vary from obstacle courses to problem solving. In the end everyone learns to recognise their differences and get along.

I've heard of loads of cases where dogs eat their owners when they die.

There was a guy found half eaten by his alsation in the lane behind where I used to work years ago.

When you die, you lose your scent.
You're just meat.
So I don't see the big hoo ha with an animal eating meat.
They are animals after all.

Anyway, to answer the question - Cats are better.
Dogs are too much work.
And they're too energetic and needy.
Cats will do their own thing, and will love you in a less co-dependent manner.
(Although all pets are co-dependent, but you know what I mean)

Cats can look after themselves, and tidy up after themselves, and their brains are closer to ours than dogs brains are.

Wait. This response was below even my low standards.

We learned it in bio-psychology a few years ago - it's true.

That's because he's not smart enough to realise he's naked!

I love both, but:

in terms of work - cats are better as they are more independent and don't need to be taken for walks etc..

dogs are more loyal - cats are opportunists

I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 big fish... cats are easier to manage as pets.

Cats are pets? By that logic I have hundreds of pet birds. I see them a few times a year in the garden and I leave food for them now and then.

Unless the birds are coming in to your house and occasionally sitting on your lap and demanding food, they're not pets.

I love both, although it depends on the particular cat and the particular dog.

As Edith Wharton once remarked "a cat is a snake in furs".

Dogs FTW... Woof!!!

Azureus

Dogs>Cats for sure.
Cats are nice and low maintenance though-if a little arrogant. I had an awesome cat...got another when he died and she was a right lil..well not bitch cuz thatd make the dogs v cats argument even more confusing but you know what I mean!

In comparison to cats every dog just looks stupid.

I was going to say something clever but I've forgotten what it was. Cat walking across keyboard on way to disconnect printer distracted me.

My point exactly.

Cats are ok but dogs definitely win it for me.

Cats are a lazy mans pet, which makes them better... the cat in my house is his own man, seriously, you dont even have to worry what will happen them after you die. they certainly don't.
