      Know how dogs and cats will both bring dead animals home? I was told once that when dogs do it, they are acknowledging you as the leader of their pack. When cats do it, it's because they think you're too dumb to fend for yourself.

      Susan, I had a cat who would bring moles and put them right at the door on a regular basis...I kept stepping on them and that would gross me out. I scolded
      him for putting them where I would step on them...so he started hiding them under the welcome mat. Smile. Shadow was a Russian Blue. He died a few years ago.

      Have you heard this one? Dogs look at their owner the one who feeds and cares for them and think, you must be God. The cats looks at the owner and provider and thinks, I must be God.

      HI ALien, I wouldn't say dogs are dumb, look at all the tricks they learn, and not the ones you teach them, they are just ..different animals and we must respect that.

    Cats Are Better Than Dogs

    I've always been a fan of felines. As far as pets go, you can't beat them! I have three myself, and I couldn't adore them more. I don't care what you say, cats are clearly better than dogs. I can't even list all the reasons here, so I'll just stick with my favorites.

    First of all, cats are about a thousand times easier to care for. You don't have to walk them or bathe them because they're smart enough to figure out all that stuff on their own (unlike some other domestic mammals I don't care to mention). Plus, they have the common courtesy to do their business in the litter box, instead of all over your house and yard. Just one of the many reasons cats rule and dogs—quite literally—drool.

    Second, cats have all sorts of personality! Take my cat Smarty for instance. He's a total ham, always jumping from lap to lap when company comes, with a look on his face like, "Hey, everybody! Pay attention." And when they don't, boy does he get pouty! Then there's Boopie, who's more chilled out and kind of does his own thing. I won't even get into Meatball, because he'd kill me if I ever wrote about him!

    In comparison, every dog I've ever met is exactly the same: dumb, hyper, and obsessed with chasing tennis balls. It's like they're not even trying. Now I know all those dog people are going to argue with me on this and try to tell me all dogs are unique, but frankly, I just haven't seen it. Maybe someday I'll meet a dog with one-tenth the personality your average cat has in his left hind paw, but I highly doubt it.

    Ever seen a cat eat its own poop?

    Not to mention, cats are so much more independent than dogs. They can disappear for hours, having their own little adventures, and then pop up again just when you least expect it. It's like running into a long-lost friend on the street, but in your house! Meanwhile, those big, dumb slobbery dogs just plod around after you whether you want them to or not. They can't do anything for themselves. Unless it's eating your shoes!

    Nope. You'll never convince me that dogs are superior to cats in any way. So just stop trying.

    I could go on all day about how great cats are. They don't make noise, their breath doesn't stink, and they're adorable as kittens—but I don't think that's necessary. Anyone with sense can see that they're simply the better pet, hands down. So, in conclusion, I would like to say that, no matter how good dogs are at catching Frisbees and swimming, they simply can't compete with the world's best furry companion. The one, the only, the cat.

      While I agree that cats are cool, I'll have Hanna the Awesome Newfoundland Hound pray for you. Newfs don't bark under normal circumstances and she has NEVER ate her own... U-C-K! But ain't nothing as cute as kittens!

      Hi Shane, I am not going to disagree but I have had both. MOre cats than dogs though. The last three we picked up were born feral so they are not so easy to maintain. Sadly have lost one of those this year to a car. One cat does yowl, every night. They always talk/talked to me at meal times, before they got it of course. But you are corretc, they do not need to be taken for a walk and they do n ot need bathing unless of course you have a Turkish Van cat.

    I like both dogs and cats. Biggest reason I don't currently own a dog is I live right on a road with lots of dump trucks going up and down from the mines on the mountain above us.
    I also believe in having pets spayed/neutered. There are way too many animals in shelters, especially cats. People are quicker to "take care" of a dog. They seem to think cats can just go out and take care of themselves. They breed almost like rabbits, and you'll see more stray cats in the street than dogs.
    I have four cats, hand-raised after we found them under our back porch at about 2-3 weeks of age. They are all indoor only and spayed/neutered. Still have their claws, though. Don't believe in declawing.
    Well, that's my soapbox for the day.
