Fredi Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I'm a dog lover . Dogs need more care than a cat but still like them more, they are more friendly than a cat.
Jae Onasi Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 I like both dogs and cats, and we might get a dog this summer if we build a fence around our back yard, but cats don't require quite as much care as dogs do. Change a litterbox once a week and you're good, no pooper scooper required. Plus, you can train a cat to do things just like you can dogs. I trained several of my cats to sit, stay, and 'give me five' and 'high five'.

RC-1183 Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 dogs no doubt. they are nice friendly but they can kick your a$$ to if they need to plus if someone breaks into your house im not exactly sure they will be scared of your "guard-cat"

TriggerGod Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 plus if someone breaks into your house im not exactly sure they will be scared of your "guard-cat" or your guard-poodle.
Q Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 They'd be scared if it was a standard poodle. Well, my dad's a veterinarian so I grew up with a lot of animals in the house, and some of them even had 4 legs. I like both, but I'm allergic to cats so dogs win by default.
mur'phon Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 They'd be scared if it was a standard poodle. Of course they'd be, ex-prime ministers are frightfull things indeed:xp:
Ctrl Alt Del Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I used to have both, but you can only get real loyalty from a dog. Not to mention that, whenever I get home after a long trip, the party my dog promotes, jumping at the window and waving it's tail is just rewarding.
Rev7 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Dogs I am allergic to cats. I like them, I just can't be around them :/
SW01 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I used to have both, but you can only get real loyalty from a dog. I have noted that our ancient feline has been incredibly loyal. He wanders off regularly for his walks, and has in the past been given food by others (he also refuses to wear a collar - claws them off), bu he has always returned to us. Even after we moved, within a couple of days he was back. I know that's probably the exception rather than the general rule (as we have also had a cat that ran off), but it is still possible to get loyalty from a cat.

My cat used to do that, and I suppose every other cat with freedom to come and go must do it as well. I think that being reaised there helps the animal to identify your place as "home", but that doesn't mean he's loyal. Granted, cats can be somewhat caring, even if in a selfish way (mine used to mew around me and rub his head and body on my legs in order to rest on my lap). Back to the point, it's the place where it has guaranteed food, so he'll always come back.
SW01 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Back to the point, it's the place where it has guaranteed food, so he'll always come back. Fair point! Being able to lie in front of the fire and sleep inside most nights probably helps, too!
Astor Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Fair point! Being able to lie in front of the fire and sleep inside most nights probably helps, too! I don't know... Sometimes I could do without being used as a pin cushion in my sleep.
GeneralPloKoon Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 ^I have it, I love it, and they are making a sequel.
CommanderQ Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 epic film, amirite? YES! I knew someone would bring it up eventually! Dogs win.
JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 ^the russian slicer cat was the man. "I think not, baby puppy. It is you who is in trouble"
Mandalorian54 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Normally I'd prefer dogs, but I'm going to have to go with cats on this one for two reasons. 1. Tigers 2. Ninja Kitties
GarfieldJL Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I have 2 Dogs currently and two cats, used to have 3 Dogs up until recently. I'd have to say surprisingly I'm neutral on this.
CommanderQ Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 ^the russian slicer cat was the man. "I think not, baby puppy. It is you who is in trouble" You forgot something.... [Cool Russian Accent] "I think not, baby puppy. It is you who is in trouble..." [/Cool Russian Accent] Just had to add...
Darth_Yuthura Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Cats are excellent because they are lower-maintainence than dogs that you MUST walk every time they have to do their business. Cats at least are smart enough to use a litter box.
