ArcticVortex 176 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ok most debates I like to be tamed and legit. and this one is similar. know there are no wrong answers... unless you pick cats that is. I want a straight up blood bath of why dogs are better than cats. if you think Cats are better, first do some soul searching and attempt to prove to me that they even deserve to be compared to the perfect animal.

boxes 26 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Cats are soft and make this amazing rumbly noise when you pet them and they don't smell like cow dung. also cat licks are tickly and don't leave wet slobber Link to comment
MsFortune-Take 110 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I like cats becayse they're a lot easier to take care of and they're cleaner, I don't want something licking me. Link to comment
Lisk 932 Posted March 18, 2017 🌟 OmoOrg VIP Share Posted March 18, 2017 “I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE. Link to comment
Spurgle 471 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Dogs, without a doubt. I love my cat and my dog equally but i know that cats are takers and if i stopped feeding him he'd simply stalk off and leave me for food, where as dogs are loyal to a fault. A dogs love for their master is almost unbreakable. Link to comment

Literally, all my screen reader can tell me is they're chacters in the FFxx block. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE. It's a quote from Terry Pratchett's book, where Death speaks in that weird font that I've tried to emulate by using monospace characters. And he's right, cats are nice. I certainly see where dog owners' love for dogs comes from, but as for me, when it comes to pets, cats are the only answer, because I see myself in these egoistic creatures, and winning a cat's trust makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. Also, cats are nice. Link to comment

Medieval Genie 208 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I don't have pets, but I think there are objective traits which can be compared between them, so I would like to compose a cross comparison list for you now... Dog™: + More obedient to specific commands such as rolling around in the dirt and pretending they have expired. + More utilitarian for duties such as guarding homes, aiding the blind, herding sheep, murdering people, etcetera. + More playful and suitable as interactive entertainment, like biological games consoles. + Can perform entertaining 'Unintelligence' subroutines, such as chasing own tail or running into doors. + Some models have been designed optimally for videotaping ready to share on the Internet. - Consume more food than Cat™, especially larger makes and models. - Less clean in general and defecate on things a lot. - Hyperactive and often cannot be left alone. - Prone to making alarm sounds even when not programmed to do so. - Prone to licking humans as a form of nonverbal communication. (Example model D284, the 'King Charles Spaniel', is excellent for including in painted portraits.) Cat™: + Consume less food than Dog™, sometimes even supplying you with local delicacies such as dead rats. + Require less maintenance than Dog™, often programmed to self clean by usage of the licking apparatus. + More laid back and able to allow humans to get on with more impertinent tasks such as paying taxes. + A much quieter creature to add to the family, it makes a low 'purr' noise to indicate sufficient pampering. + Some models have been designed optimally for videotaping ready to share on the Internet. - They frequently go into sleep mode and cannot be relied on to be anything but lazy. - They are possessive of areas like sofas (couches) and occasionally require forcible removal. - They are prone to testing the structural integrity of various objects through scratching. - Known to torture prey before executing them. (Example model C57, the 'Siamese Cat', is excellent for turning into a cartoon character.) Please check the manufacturer's instructions prior to first use of Cat™ or Dog™. Warranty does not include vehicular crushing. Anubis and Michelley 2 Link to comment
LunasAuditor 163 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I say BOTH!! We've always had dogs in my family (I think mum is allergic to cats), and I love how they're utterly loyal, and unwaveringly loving of their humans - every time I visit my parents' house Simba (their ridgeback) gets soo happy and excited to see me it really boosts my spirits no matter how low I feel... Their daft tail chasing and especially puppy antics are adorable, and just in general dogs seem to have that carefree attitude that makes people happy, and if we're lucky it rubs off on us. On the downside, I don't like having to walk the dog (though it's useful to force me to get some exercise) and they do seem to take much more time and effort to maintain, and having to walk them every day makes them somewhat impractical if you've got a 9-5 job... I've never had cats but I LOVE them - so floofy and cute, and the purring is another sort of anti-depressant. Whenever I see cats around town I always try to stroke them, and I love the cuddly thing with them rubbing up against you. They'd also be much more practical with a 9-5, since they can take care of themselves during the day, although that independence also makes them a little less clingy and I'm not the biggest fan of the superior cat attitude - it's a lower species so damnit it should LOOOVE ME!!! I'll have to make the final call if and when I manage to buy myself a house, not gonna get either in rented digs - I have my pet rats in the meantime! Link to comment
Guest tholepin Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Dogs don't enjoy living on a boat. I don't enjoy lifting them into a dinghy and bringing them ashore two or three times a day for "walks." Especially when there is no place to "walk!" Dogs consider a sailboat's mast to be a tree; further, there is nothing sexy about a dog humping a man-overboard pod. Cats love living on a boat. Cats don't like being "walked." They don't like being thrown into a dinghy in a windy rainstorm, heaved ashore to dig catholes in the mud and being yelled at to Hurry up, you mangy $*&*#*$!! I hope I've made myself clear . . . Link to comment
peelosopher 19 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) I want dogs and cats, but no humans. Genuinely, I would rather live with and spend time with either animal than another person. I don't know which I like better, but I imagine it depends more on the individual animal and your bond to them than the species.

BENAir01 601 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I like both, but I think I’m more of a dog fan because they offset my shy low energy introverted ness and are more often there to be talked to without just walking away, so I can rant to them. And I think they are less likely to knock a glass off the counter. Link to comment
Tailsuser 120 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I think cats are cool animals, look gracious. But, are strange sometimes, act weird, have their own mind. But I kinda like cats, though. Dogs are something I like more from the fundamental behaving. If you are the owner, they are loyal, solid, and if they are not dumb, which is not a cat problem, btw, and more classy they are supreme. Therefore, mostly dogs. Link to comment
SJC Omorashi 1,550 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I used to have a few pet dogs, so in my opinion i prefer dogs. Link to comment
Brittanybunny 1,494 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have both but there are likes to dislikes with both Dogs: you can train them, they can learn to be obediant, mine always gives me kisses and sticks by my side, only dislike i have is you cant toilet train them cats: you can toilet train them (my arent but i wish) they are very snuggly compared to my dog, i hate how they bite, ive gotten more bite and claw injuries from my cats than my dog, they are so clingy which is cute but mine wont stop meowing in the middle of the night still i go for both really, they are fluffy companions and idk what id do if i ever lost mine, ive had my dog since i was entering first grade and my cats when i was in late elementary- middle school, they are my best friends and ik the day i loose them my life will feel a bit empty, i just hope that all these years ive given them enough love and they know that Link to comment

Lovak 8 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Dogs. I don't think this is a discussion, actually, lol. Now, I understand that whereas some people like dogs or even prefer dogs their life situation disallows dogs, so they get a cat. Cats are more self-sufficient. I will never deny that. Dogs are pack animals and rely on social interaction. They also need us to feed them, take them out, etc, unless we want to release them to the wild, which is a terrible idea for a fair number of reasons. So, yes, sometimes cats are "purrfect" companions, and I understand that. But as for superiority? Dogs. Dogs. Dogs. Dogs. Dogs. Dogs. Link to comment
Dimwitrolo 3,018 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Both are pretty great - but nothing beats that moment when you walk in your door and the dog goes nuts. That's pure love right there. Link to comment
