To be honest, I don't really like cats all that much.

[Danger Mouse]

They're kind of boring. Give me a good dog any day.
Dogs are better than cats in almost every way. The only reason you should choose a cat over a dog is 'allergy,' otherwise, you are missing out on the best pet there is.
There is nothing better than a pet dog. And no, it's not my baby, it's my dog. A dog is a friend and companion, not a child. Dogs love unconditionally, and they don't demand the newest and coolest stuff, they just want you to pat them on the head and give them a steak every now and then.
Cats are just kind of cute and can meow. Sometimes they catch mice, which is badass, but dogs are still cooler.
DOGS FTW.

1. you are dead , nice knowing you , I'm running before getting stomped by the angry mob

[Danger Mouse]

4. I'll tell them you put me up to it.

[fizzgig]

2. pfffffffffffft

my cats are positively radtastic and mira thinks she's half dog anyway, so i get the best of both worlds :P

[Danger Mouse]

3. Your cats are tolerable, as cats go.

But being half-dog is just showing that even cats wish they were dogs.

[fizzgig]

6. she's the only puppy-kitty i've ever known

and i chalk that up to her being rather dim :P

[Danger Mouse]

8. no, she's simply ahead of the curve.

[fizzgig]

10. i get the feeling nothing will disabuse you of this notion

so we will simply have to agree to disagree :)

[Danger Mouse]

12. i'm not at all hard-headed, opinionated, or stubborn.

i have no idea what you're talking about.

[fizzgig]

15. not you

not at all

[ghostsofgiants]

5. I can't front on dogs, they are awesome, but cats can be equally as awesome for different reasons.

[Danger Mouse]

7. i do not disagree. you are simply wrong. dog is superior to cat.

i say that even though my current dog is the saddest trainwreck of a poodle ever to go on four legs and knock over a trash can.
i love dogs that much.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I have empirical evidence, having been both the owner of a dog and a cat.

Also, I used to be one of those dog only people until owning a cat, but I have seen the light.

[Danger Mouse]

11. I've had many cats, and two dogs. Although one of my cats is admittedly awesome...

I used to have the best dog on earth. No cat can match her awesomness.

[fizzgig]

18. one of us! one of us!

:D

[Jamastiene]

21. Haha, you call a poodle a dog!

:rofl:

Silly wabbit! Don'cha know poodles are really humans that walk on all fours?

[Danger Mouse]

65. She's the smelliest person I've ever met, then.

And she burps.

[Bryn]

13. Fool!

You don't know anything about cats at all! :hi:

I have two large dogs and four cats. Love them all!

[Kajsa]

40. Aww- those two are so cute together!

They are true blue buddies.

Thanks.

:) :hi:

[Critters2]

46. Those are great pics!!

My Leon and the beagle are best friends, too.

[Tom Kitten]

14. Whatever

However it's weird you say "the only reason you should choose a cat over a dog is 'allergy'" when many people are allergic to cats but I have yet to meet a person who is allergic to dogs.

Also, "sometimes they catch mice, which is badass..." Harboring feelings of self destruction, perhaps, Mr. Danger Mouse?

:evilgrin:

[leftyclimber]

63. You've met one now (at least online).

I love dogs, but when they touch me with their wonderful wet doggy noses they leave me with a big welt on my skin where their nose was. I have to take extra allergy medication and carry an inhaler with me if I'm going to be around dogs. Can't touch 'em, and I can only be indoors near one for half an hour to an hour. On the 1-5 allergy scale (5 being more allergic than I care to imagine) I am a 4 for dogs. I score 3 for cats, meaning I really ought not have them, either.

As a matter of fact, the only two things that I am NOT allergic to, according to my last tests, are birds and horses. I don't have the right lifestyle for birds (not enough time at home to give them the attention they need), and I don't think my apartment manager would be too thrilled if I got a horse. ;)

[Lost in CT]

16. Well I wouldn't expect danger mouse to like cats... even though he likes danger. nt

[Skittles]

17. if you think cats are boring, you don't know cats

[Eurobabe]

19. Ignore user. Meow

[Lucian]

20. I dont' care for cats either.

I have seven dogs (three fosters) and I love them. They run around, play, and think I'm their pack leader. I have a cat, but I don't care much for him. All he does is sleep all day and he doesn't do anything.

Boring indeed.

[elleng]

22. I don't; they're unpredictable and generally non-responsive, imo.

Not at all like dogs.

[TZ]

32. You haven't met my cats! One plays fetch...

the other brings ME toys she wants to play with. They are super affectionate and love to sit on me near me..and they love to run and play and wrestle! Boring and unresponsive they are not! We have meow conversations all the time...:)

[elleng]

36. OH GREAT!

That makes me smile!

[petronius]

23. I have never had a cat drop a slobber-coated tennis ball, along with a pint

of green drool, into my lap. For that alone, all dogs everywhere are forever removed from my christmas card list.

[emilyg]

24. Dogs drool and slobber and smell bad.

Cats rule. Meow-meow.

[Orsino]

50. Dogs are great, but they generally fail at "cool." n/t

[Shell Beau]

59. Don't let him hear that...

[Orsino]

61. Let me guess: the cat put him up to it? n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

25. I don't like cats either.

Don't like the snottiness, don't like the damn cat pan smell, don't like the hair everywhere.

I am allergic to dogs and cats BOTH. But I am a dog person. Still can't handle the sniffling and crying from the allergy to the hair, though.

[LisaL]

26. Cats are much easier to care for than dogs.

I presume that every morning you have to wake up, get your behind out of bed, and take your dog out for a walk?
And during the day. And in the evening.
Doesn't appeal to me at all.

[raccoon]

27. Why do you hate America? nt

[skooooo]

28. Your kind are not welcome here! nt

[southpaw]

29. Hmmmm...

[pinstikfartherin]

30. My mom's dog caught mice.

So she was extra badass for a dog! lol

[cherish44]

31. ....

[Kajsa]

44. ----

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

33. a dog is not a friend its a worshipper. thats the one thing about dogs i really dislike

[Strong Atheist]

41. Agreed, though there are other things to dislike about dogs... nt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. well my dog eats my cats poop. thats another thing i dont like. also those who say cats are not

affectionate are either idiots or have not been around enough cats.

my cat sleeps curled on my head. when we sit on the couch she curls up between us. other cats i have had, have all been affectionate.

[Danger Mouse]

64. animals are evolutionarily inferior to humans. it's only right that other animals feel awe.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

66. hardly. my cat is a lot more nimble than i am. it depends on what metrics you are judging her vs me

i also like my cat because she likes me, she likes my partner etc. she is friendly with others but certainly shows preference to her people. the bloody dog loves everybody or whomever has the food.

[Arkansas Granny]

34. I love my dog, I love my cat. Comparing them, however, is the classic

apples and oranges comparison.

FWIW (as she dons her flameproof undies), I have found that men who don't like cats don't make very good boyfriend material, as a general rule. There are sure to be exceptions, that's just a personal observation.

[Shell Beau]

49. I would never date anyone who didn't like dogs.

[limit18]

35. I like dogs

If you stop and think about it, cats and politicians are pretty much the same. They only really pay you any attention when they want something in return.

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. .

:evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

37. I am more of a dog person myself. But cats are freakin' hilarious.

[Lil Missy]

38. My pooch has always been my favorite, but I think you underestimate kitties.

Cats are special in a different way. Apples and Oranges.

[Deep13]

42. That's what I like about cats.

They have their own personality. Dogs are just neurotically needy.

[SacredCow]

45. I guess I'm more of a dog person, but I don't dislike cats....

Although I'm getting a little sick of the roommate's 3 cats, plus the other 3 that he's been harboring since November. 6 cats is WAY too many, IMHO (although 2 of the harbored ones are permanently crated because they were spraying all over the house).

[Gormy Cuss]

47. Dogs smell bad and eat caca.

Dogs drool and bark incessantly too. Most of them like to annoy cats. Dogs are worse than cats in every way.

Signed,
Gormy's very well mannered and literate cat.

[Arugula Latte]

56. +1

:thumbsup:

[Kajsa]

48. I love them both,

but I've had cats my whole life.

I get them, they get me.

The aloofness?- No big deal.

There are times I don't want to be bothered so
I let them know it.

Other times, they are the best,most comforting
pals to have around. They don't care if I look and
feel like hell, they are there to let me know I'm OK.

And yes, they try to carry on conversations all the time.
When I came back from one week in Jalisco last August,
Darwin was asking/complaining about "where were you?"
for ten minutes.We told both kitties we'd be gone for a week
but were coming back soon. We had a kitty care lady
come everyday to feed and spend time with them.

I can't imagine NOT having kitties around.

:)

[Marrah_G]

51. That's beacuse you are a MOUSE !

[TZ]

53. !

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

52. WRONG.

Cats are far better than dogs.

I've had both.

Give me cats any day of the week.

Dogs bark, slobber, stink. Their fur isn't nearly as nice as cats. They're too subservient. Their bites can do serious, serious damage.

I wish dogs well, but I'll never have one again. I can't live without cats.

[azmouse]

54. REAL mice like cats!

:P

[Rising Phoenix]

55. I hate the darling things

I want a miniature pig

[UTUSN]

57. You are one brave human to post this in THIS PLACE. Some of us learned to BE QUIET on this topic!1

[guitar man]

58. Locking

Flamebait!


:rofl:

[TZ]

62. No....its a CATFIGHT!

:P

[soleiri]

60. Those that say cats are not affectionate has never been loved by a cat.

and they probably don’t deserve to be.
Why is it that “dog” people always hate on cats? I don’t get it.

I’ve never had a cat that lacked a personality or the ability to show love and affection toward those that loved them back, and I’ve had over 20 throughout my life. All of them rescues. The cats we have now mew for my sons when they are not home, insist on cuddles at the most inopportune times and chase each other at 4 am. they also act silly and enjoy playing with my sons, these are not dog-like behaviors but natural behaviors in cats that know that they are loved. If a cat is aloof and ignores you, maybe it’s you.

:P
