Tarkus406 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Dogs are disgusting, smelly, LOUD, and annoying creatures. Cats are the best. End. Yes, my statement is very biased, and I shouldn't have said it like that Truthfully, there are dog people and there are cat people. I find dogs to be disgusting (aside from a few breeds that I do like) so I'm a cat person. Edited June 13, 2011 by Tarkus406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Jaye on Jun 13 2011 @ 06:22 PM) -Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door. great thread. Let the debate begin! Personally, I'm a dog lover. Not so much with cats. I can be friendly with cats, and that's fine. But I just can't ever feel close to one. Dogs are just awesome.

J0N Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Dogs don't eat you if you die either. That said, I probably prefer cats as they tend to stay out of the way I've never owned either, though. Edited June 13, 2011 by J0N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lerxst Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 QUOTE (Jaye @ Jun 13 2011, 11:22 PM) Have you ever seen anyone walk their cat? Yes. Yes I have. But in general, I found not much difference living with a cat compared to living with a dog. Cats in general are cleaner animals - I mean, my dog eats its own shit then pukes it up - usually on my bed. My cat never did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Room Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Not to forget is the fact that dogs eat their own vomit and shit like dead bats and stuff. And eating bats, thats pretty metal. Groar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dog (who is DEAD now thank goodness) was NOTORIOUS for all of the above. Not to mention leaving large puddles of liquidy poo all over the house at least once a week (because of eating stupid things), and digging in the trash and spreading it all over the entire house like a big garbage bomb. And when we are home, the constant barking 24/7 (at nothing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dog and a cat and I like them both, but dogs are so much more enjoyable. You can't bring a cat to the park and let it run around and play. I've only had my current dog for a little over a month and he stays right by my side outside. A cat would just take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reaction was, "OK, as long as it's an adult and can tolerate me as well." I won't put up with craziness or destructivenss. Then it's like having an asshole roomate. Had plenty of those in an earlier stage of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of a Rider Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I like cats and dogs both and I can't say that I prefer one over the other. What it comes down to is, some are cat people and some are dog people and some are neither. Yes, cats are aloof by nature but it's not like this is a recent development or anything. They've always been this way so I never understood why some people hate them for this reason. I can understand if a person says he's not a cat person for this or that reason but I never understood the animosity some have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I don't get the claim that cats are disloyal. Any of mine have always wanted to be close by, ESPECIALLY when I'm sick. One was very good at waking me up when my blood sugar would go too low at night. There's times I'm actually glad they go off and sleep, because I need my own space. The time I most wish I had a dog instead of a cat is when I have to take them to the vet. Dogs will just go get in the car. Try to get a cat in a carrier...good luck. I live in a small apartment, and the only dogs we can have are small breeds, which I'm not crazy for. Cats being lower-maintenance is also a better fit for my budget. I have to spend time with my sisters beagle when I want to spend time with a dog. Better him than my aunt and uncle's dog...that lil' bugger is mean! I'll take a mean cat over him any day. He's hurt quite a few members of my extended family - my cousin practically needed a nose job after he got done with her. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 ...How did I see this coming... I love cats and think they are adorable... in photographs and in my hands for about fifteen to twenty minutes. I don't mind being around cats. They're fluffy and generally pretty nice, domesticated. But I would never keep a cat as a pet because.. well, for all the reasons you listed. Dogs have their vices, but imo not as many as cats! And they have so many virtues. I'm a dog person forever, but I could never hate a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of mine have always wanted to be close by, ESPECIALLY when I'm sick. One was very good at waking me up when my blood sugar would go too low at night. I will say - again - it depends on the cat. Some are just naturally more people-oriented. As to your cat waking you when your blood sugar was low, usually you hear stories about dogs doing this. But about six or seven years ago I saw a story about a woman who was a very fragile diabetic - she'd crash with almost no warning and pass out, and it happened often. Her husband and family were scared that one day she'd just lapse into a diabetic coma and die in her sleep. Enter the cat. It was just a stray that moved in with them, but one night the husband woke up to the cat going berserk next to him in bed. The wife had crashed out in the kitchen, and the cat was alerting him. Kitty saved her life a number of times; he'd either let the woman know she needed to check her glucose and eat something, or go get the husband.
