That's the point. They are bred that way.

I know. That's why I don't value their company, they are like robots programmed to follow their masters.

Go use your cat as a "guard cat" and see how well that goes

If you hate cats....

Suck my dick.

I like cats way better, they're just like people. Dogs can be good too though, all depends on the personality though. Oh yeah, fuck ankle bitters when it comes to dogs, cats are the shizz.

I'm sorry to point out the obvious here but my pit bull could kill your cat.

Not only that, but cats take everything for granted. Fuckin' bastards.

At least my dog does tricks for her treats.

Oh god damn it I went on newgrounds and forgot I was watching High Stakes Poker. Fuck man, that shit's only on on Saturdays.

Cats are smug assholes

Cats are better than dogs because all they care about is themselves and their own pleasure. They have good taste and like to bake in the sun.

Takes forever to find a dog you'll like so I prefer cats, they are greedy and cute and unlike dogs who are sometimes fucking mindless cats are A LOT like humans because they don't follow basic instincts and like to feel pleasure.

This is the vibe I get from cats as well.

You don't have a cat so you wouldn't know.

Not really. You don't have a dog so you wouldn't know. Dogs aren't all insanely dependent. We have
a stray who has been running around my town for years and he is like the town dog. This dog
doesn't get any help from anyone and looks very healthy.

Cool story bro?

Also, the dependence builds a bond between the animal and master. It's love. It's not some stupid
thing kept around for company. The dog becomes apart of the family.

The cat looks at itself as better than you. You are it's "dog". Why should it do anything for you when
you will feed it no matter what?

I don't want it to do anything for me. I have a cat who sleeps on the end of my bed every night, we have a great bond and she loves me back.

You won't ever see a cat do this in anyway that comes close to being as funny as this.

Clearly you've never observed a cat. My cat does much more hilarious things on its own, it doesn't have to pull a third-grade stunt like that.

Just get over it now because it's painfully obvious that dogs are much better companions

How about no?

and much more lovable than some cat that thinks it owns the place.

I don't want a subservient animal that is bred to mindlessly follow orders.

I think now we can all agree that people want pets for different reasons.
This has been an interesting experiment.
People here have proven that dog owners are after a subservient creature, while cat owners favour a more independent animal, that knows how to look after itself.

Also I was generalising (if anyone got the double meaning they win a cookie) in my original post.

Different opinions I guess.

I like dumb cats! :D

Yeah, it's really based on opinion. I personally love cats a lot more than dogs, but other people have experienced both and can tell me otherwise.

So what you're saying is you agree that cats are way more awesome than dogs? Good we agree.

I agree with your view.

You like cats more then dogs, good for you.

Base your points on actual fact though. Not denying that cat aren't smart but dogs are too. Sure a lot of them don't look it but they are. There are dogs that have learnt hundreds of words, can cats do that?

Cats affectionate? Please. Only ever when they want something and what trick do they pull. Meow, meow, run my tail against your leg, look at me look at me, meow.

At least dog affection is actually wholesome and not just because they want something.

And not just that but dogs are just generally more of an interesting animal. The only known animal in the world where shape/size/colour alter so differently between different breeds and no one can explain why that happens, how it happens. It is completely unique to dogs.

Like cats more fine, but don't pretend the dog is any lesser animal.

The phrase 'mans best friend' is well known for a reason.

Why do cats even need litte boxes? Just go outside you little privacy-wanting freaks.

wait guys my brain had a baby! wait if we got the DNA froma a cat and a dog! Then everyone would have their own freak!

They're both annoying.

Cats insist on shitting and pissing indoors. They wake you up with incessant scraping in their litter boxes. They chew things and they stink. They are boring to watch and provide no entertainment.

Dogs are more loyal but they require constant attention. If you live with a dog, every time you get up to do anything, the dog assumes you're going to get something for it. They want to be walked all the time and, like cats, they stink.

Neither.

fuckI am on the side of cats a little now

dogs fart.

Cats fart

dogs smell and need to get bathed... cats clean themselves.

Dogs do clean themselves

cats conveniently shit/piss in a litter box, and don't need to be taken out for a walk/let outside every time they shit/piss.

People get dogs knowing this. If anyone gets a dog not realising that the thing needs to go out to go to the toilet then that person has no right owning a dog.

cats don't maul children and need to be put to sleep.

Cats can attack humans and 9 times out of 10 the reason a dog 'turns' is down to back ownership - misraising a dog.

cats don't bark at people walking on the street outside, or someone ringing your doorbell.

Not all dogs do that. Besides cats can be just as annoying with meowing in some households.

cats > dogs.

I respect your opinion but I still think that you are wrong.

bad ownership**

"lol lets keep breeding known dangerous dogs to be our protection for 'gang' wars. it never ends badly"

My cats pull this face

:3

Therefore I prefer cats

True, it may be possible, if you put your hand where the cat is cleaning itself.... but a cat is not going to tongue rape your face or hand if you get close to it.

My aunts old cat Oliver (seriously lol) used to wake me up every morning I stayed over by licking my ears.

Cats fart

again.... never in my life have I witnessed a cat fart, nor have I ever heard of anyone talking about a cat farting.
A long list of dogs have farted in my presence.

Youtube it. It happens.

Also from a guide on cats onlinen;

"Cats are carnivores that feed on mostly high protein-rich foods. This type of diet produces intensely stinky gas because proteins are known to contain a large amount of sulfur which is a particularly odorous chemical.

Cats' farts are mostly silent, but the odor is unbearable. The reason that their farts are so rarely audible is because the amount of gas they produce is much smaller, but dense and highly concentrated. When cats release gas, their gastrointestinal system has low internal pressure thus the gas comes out slowly and steadily. The muscles on their bottoms don't close as tightly as that of humans, so it produces less sound, but the most interesting fact is that cats are a lot more relaxed when they fart because passing gas is a norm to them as opposed to an embarrassing moment."

Regardless of their ability to "clean" themselves, dogs will smell like shit if they aren't bathed with soap and water by a human on a regular basis.
If you pet an unbathed dog, your hand will smell like dog.

This depends solely on the dog you own. Depending on fur type/shredding/thickness you shouldn't need to wash your dog more then once every 3 months - depending on the type and of course unless they get themselves into a mess when out walking. That though is more down to seasonal problems then dog problems. I haven't bathed my dog in months and after just sniffinf her, she smells fine. Haven't needed to wash her in months and when she does come in from the rain I make sure to dry her off. Again when a dog is left smelling it is down to a neglectful owner who should know better.

Cats don't need to be bathed anywhere near as much as dogs.... (and its a wonderful thing, since most cats hate water.)

When people get dogs or cats they should know what they are getting themselves into. I don't think just because on small occasions you will need to wash your dog should be something to be used against it. A 20 minute bath once every few months isn't exactly taxing. I enjoy doing it myself, just because my dog runs around like a madman afterwards happy to be out of the bath.

never said people didn't know.... its just a plus.

Not really. For someone like me who has trouble finding exercise to stick to, it's good that I have a dog that needs walking. It helps keep me fitter and it's a good form of bonding. You'll find that a lot of doctors who have slightly older or disabled patients who need to exercise more or need more companionship will advice them to look into getting a dog.

Do you think a cat attacking a human is for a different reason? If you treat any pet with love and respect it will do the same... and while that does indeed hold true... you don't hear about little kids getting mauled by a pit-bull equivalent of a cat... and being put to sleep on the news.

Of course not, dogs have jaws that can lock onto it's prey. Is that the dogs fault for having a bigger and more powerful jaw, it is their first and only real form of defense. Cats have the claws which are more effective for them for quick swipes.

Dogs jaws though and their power are the very reason those kind of big 'evil' dogs are bred by people who just use them as status symbols and mistreat them so that they are just vicious creatures. Just putting down the dog doesn't stop the problem though in the future. We should all be wanting toughter laws put on people who breed these dangerous dogs and that they should be given jail sentences themselves for using their dogs as weapons.

Seriously unless the dog is old and one of that is quicker to snap (like grumpy old men) then it's usually the fault of a stupid person who hasn't realised that their dogs temperament is completely down to how they choose to raise it and not actually on what a book of dog breeds says.

I suppose. This one might be neutral... but I've never met a cat vocal enough to be annoying.
Whereas I've met lots of dogs whose owners have told them to be quiet or to shut up.

Guess I'm just lucky then. Only time my dog barks is when we're out in the dark and she sees coming towards us in dark - when she can't see their face. It's only ever like one bark too until I tell her to shut up, so she just puts up tail and ears up to try and look big and scary until they pass.

Different dogs, different stories, though generally little dogs are terrible for barking usually I know. This is why I'll never own a Jack Russel.

I also respect your decision to prefer the company of dogs.... however,
cats fo lyfe, yo.

Pfft.
