Dogs are better than cats.

Dogs like me. Cats don't.

On the average I've found dogs more affectionate and friendly, and thank goodness they also know when there's trouble.

See, give a cat an incentive, and it will do anything a dog can do. Apart from humping your leg, that is.

Cats: Do what they want
Dogs: Do what you want

What do you want, another lazy thing to feed, or something that will obey you?

QED

Mine does not hump legs, but he does roll around in womens bras! He can't resist. Leave it on the bed and five minutes later, he's wrapped up in it. His facination with them has progressed to the point where he has jumped under shirts and tried to take them off of house guests.

the both have upsides and downsides
we gave my terminally-ill mother-in-law a cat for company and to make her feel better which worked like a charm, while my dog is the best hunting/camping/hiking companion

smart dog

Wow, it must have taken ages to train your dog to do that. But I'll bet it was worth it.

I always wanted to create a breed of house cat as a big as a Rottweiler. Imagine the fun!

Oh, how wrong you are... although, the cat didn't hump my leg - it humped my ARM, while I was doing homework, no less

I wanna cross between a chihuahua and a great dane that results in a huge chihuahua.
And before you ask either artificial insemination, or genetic engineering.

I prefer dogs myself.
Especially demonic rotties


Theres Gregory Peck boys.... sic em!

rottweilers... no.

[Of course, you were probably joking]

Nothing can ruin your day as quickly as being sued by someone because your dog got out and mauled a four year old.

Personally, I like black labs. Very friendly and eager to please.

Oh, also, I'm allergic to cats, they make my eyes itch like crazy. That might have something to do with my dislike of them.

Actually it's my male cat that does this and it appears to be a habit that he picked up all on his own. I came one one day and there he was all wrapped up in a bra that was on the bed. Next thing you know, a friend came to stay with us and he jumped in her suit case and wrapped himself up in her bra. The behavior spiraled from there.

Then again... my husband has been spending some time with him. Could it be HE has been training him? Hmmmm... now that's a possibility.

I have been pondering getting a kitty, one of these days, since I would rather have a backyard if I ever got a dog.

As far as dogs go, I would want a beagle mix.



As far as kitties go, I don't know. What's a cute breed?

My sister has a black lab. I swear it's retarded.

I'm allergic to cats too, but it didnt stop me from having one. You're lucky!! I get the asthmatic allergy reaction to them. Took 6 months to get used to having one. In a house with more than 1 cat, I'm good for 10-30 minutes before the wheezing starts. In about 1 hour I'm gasping for breath.

If you want a cat with bags of character, go for a Bengal.

Blimey - he sounds like me.

I'm sure that was he was *really* doing was making a satirical comment on the behaviour of dogs.

In a way I feel they are ... sorta.

I like German Shepherds because when they grow up they may not be aware they're so big but they do learn the difference between play and work. They also know how not to be overplayful when you're playing with them. It's like they follow your lead as to what's just right.

Labs on the other hand are also not aware they're so big but they remain forever thinking they're puppies. They're playful overload. A lot of people like that ... oh man my cousin loves her Labs to death. It gets a bit much for me though since they tend to be so ... playful. Overexcitable bunch but they look so nice.

I personally believe he had gone quite senile

Dogs don't purr.



I have 2 dogs, and 2 cats. One dog may be sweet, but she's not too bright. The other dog (rott mix) is my guard dog, he lays outside the bathroom door while I take a shower.

The cats, one is sweet and gives me kisses, follows me around, has a need to know where I am, snuggles, hunts well, never scratched me when he was a kitten and he is one of the best cats ever. He's also part siamese. The other cat is absolutely insane. He meows at things, actually has an "I'm not happy" meow. Both the cats are pretty smart though.

Cats rule!

Dogs drool!

My cat tried to save my life!!! (I love this story)

Several years ago I got a kidney stone and went in for surgery. Not the new lithotripsy kind, but the old roter rooter kind. When I got home, I was a mess. Miserable and in a lot of pain. I stank of blood, anteseptics and anesthesia.

My ex-wife plopped me on the sofa to rest and get me something to drink. My cat jumped on me and as soon as she smelled me she got this crazy look on her face and BOLTED out the window running outside.

We though she was just frightened. My ex closed the window because it was getting cold and brought me some water and started making some soup. A few minutes later we heard a loud banging on the window. Usually Katie (my cat) scratches on the window to be let in, but now she was banging loudly! My ex opened the window and in jumped Katie. My ex started screaming. Katie ran into the living room and jumped on my chest and dropped a really big rat on me. A big one! And not even the slightest mark on it and still warm and meowed at me pathetically.

She saw I was hurting and sick and went to get me something to eat!!!

My cat tried to save my life.

That's why you pick the lab from the litter that sleeps the most -- it'll be the most sedate. It'll still be excitable and try to lick any visitors to death, but will be more low-key.

btw, cats aren't dumber than dogs for not being seeing eye animals, in fact they're smarter. A cat thinks "Lead you around? Find your own way dumbass!!"
