Cats or Dogs: Which Pet Reigns Supreme?

[Mickey]

I find it very hard to compare animals, they have such different mannors and moods. I enjoy the company of both cats and dogs, and respect them for there differences.

That's the right answer.

Now tell us what you really think.

I'm more of a dog person. I even own a dog (well most people believe it's a dog but some are not entirelysure). He (it) looks something like this (the fur is not as long yet):

Is he called Doogle by any chance?

 

[LENIN]

No he is called Mufi (witch could loosly be translated from sloven as somehing warm and fluffy ).

 

[phibonacci]

I am much more fond of cats than dogs. Cats seem to possesses a superior intelligence than dogs. Though, the ferret is my favorite pet.

It's official (anything with a poll to back it up has to be official, which is the main thing missing from this thread).

In order, the family member other family members feel closest to:

Dog - 94%
Mom - 87%
Cat - 84%
Dad - 74%

And that's why I hate those cats! Surely I should be able to beat out someone on the list!

I love all kinds of animals, but I get no end of emotional awe for seeing-eye dogs, search and rescue dogs, or dogs that sniff out explosives, or drugs, or... cancer!

Is there anything they can't protect us from? :*)

The "seeing eye" cat program had to be canceled after numerous instances of people being dragged between fence pickets and up trees, not to mention sudden bursts of speed due to spotting a bird.

Luckily all human volunteers were released with only minor injuries after a brief hospital visit.

LOL

 

[Kurdt]

What about those poor cats that get moulded into new roads and highways with only their eyes sticking out just so we know where the lines are in the dark?

 

[star.torturer]

Lol!

Can a cat dance?

I rest my case.

No, but cats direct the dancing of a WHOLE bunch of pink monkeys.

 

[Soilwork]

I go for dogs. They're always fun to have around and they are a lot more affectionate than any cat I've ever had. They're so much easier to train than cats as well.

I also can't abide the cat piss smell. Even when you get a cat to piss outside the smell hangs around in the garden.

Cats are amusing at times though, but I've always seen cats as animals that give false affection. In fact cats remind me of a pompous aristocrat. You know they use you to get what they want and look down on you.

I say all this bad stuff about cats, but I do like cats and have enjoyed having them as pets in the past.

Only male cats smell like that.

Well dog urine smells too. At least cats bury their scat, or try to anyways.

 

[Evo]

I think he's referring to the "spraying" that male cats use to mark their territory.

 

[Kurdt]

Don't get male cats. I've never had a male cat for precisely that reason.

When or if you get their nadgers removed, you can also ask for the scent glands which make that hideous smell to be removed, if it's any comfort cats only spray the borders of their territory, so they don't usually spray your house, if they do then it may be a sign that they are a bit insecure. Of course knowing they won't be doing it in your location is not much comfort for your neighbours when their porches reek.

If your worried about having a cats nadgers removed, don't be cats tend to live longer without them, IIRC.

great reason. LOL (take 'Don't get male cats' as reason)

 

[Kurdt]

ok that sentence was poorly constructed but I couldn't be bothered to take quotes

If anybody here has not visited BobG's link to watch that video, you are really missing out.

My males are neutered, so they don't spray.

and they start scratching when you try to do it with scisors

 

[Evo]

I think this settles it.

 

[Astronuc]

I think this settles it.

Another reason to remove the nadgers.

Dammit, look at the cat!
