-50 Dogs aren't nicer or better than cats; they're just dumber. "Dog people" only prefer them because they like lesser species who are less choosy about whom they love, amirite?

Dogs don't climb up a tree and then become to chicken shit to climb down.

They're just different.... Cats tend to be more solitary because the species they evolved from were solitary hunters. Where as dogs are more pack animals. Cats are capable of bonding with humans but are more selective in doing so. I wouldnt necessarily say dogs are dumber, just less independent.

I wrote this out of spite several years ago just for this occasion.... **Cat Owners In A Nutshell** As a dog lover, it is my duty to defend myself in the battle of cats vs. dogs. There’s a guy out there who thinks cats are better than dogs. Sadly, he isn’t the only one. He has compiled a list of reasons why cats are better and here in my note, I have replied to each of his “reasons”. In my replies I am making the assumption that all animals in discussion are indoor pets. If after reading this the thought crosses your mind that I’m a bit bias you’d be correct. I’m allergic to cats but there are also many other reasons to despise them. 1. //"Cats use a litter box. You don’t have to get up at 6am to walk them in all types of weather. They also do not take much training in using a litter box as kittens. You just sit them in the litter box and they know what to do."// Litter boxes smell and cat litter is often tracked around by their stupid, cute, little paws. Plus, you still have to scoop up your cat’s shit. At least with your dog you can let him poop somewhere that you don’t have to pick it up. 2. //"Cats are independent. You can leave a cat alone for a few days and they will not be traumatized. Just make sure you leave enough dry food and water available to them."// Dogs show affection. No matter what mood you’re in your dog will always be there for you. Sorry for not wanting a pet that loves every moment that I spend with them. With the technological advances of friendly neighbors and relatives, you can leave your dog alone for a few days as well. 3. //"Cats wash themselves. While you may have to wash them very occasionally if they get into something dirty, cats do a good job of keeping themselves clean. Their self cleaning does lead to hairballs but there are ways to prevent hairballs."// Good luck trying to give your cat a bath when that time comes. If you give your dog a bath regularly, they will be more than happy to take a bath. 4. //"Cats are quieter. A cat’s meow is usually much quieter than a dogs bark. They will not wake you up in the middle of the night barking at anything that moves."// Granted, cats are quiet but if you train your dog properly they can be quiet as well and only alert you when there is an intruder on your property. Even if cats could be loud, they still probably wouldn’t alert you. Your house could catch on fire while you're sleeping and a cat would quietly slip out the backdoor. 5. //"Cats are more sophisticated looking than dogs. Cats are sleek and almost always attractive. They give off a regal air when they sit."// If by sophisticated you mean pompous and arrogant then yes, sophisticated works. Cats think they're better than you. If you cater to one's every need, then the cat is right to think that. Congratulations. You are a servant to a tiny little shit that would eat you if he were bigger. 6. //"Cats don’t usually beg for food. They might not always be happy with the food they are given but they won’t usually sit at the dining room table and beg for scraps."// The reason dogs beg for scraps is because their owners give them the scraps. Eliminate the free scraps and you eliminate the dog begging for them. If I owned a cat, I would buy live mice and make it work for its food. Cat owners love to brag about how cats can hunt for their food, yet at the same time these cat owners will talk about how Precious or Fluffy is such a picky eater. 7. //"Cats purr. There is nothing like a cat’s purr to make you feel good. It has been proven that a cat’s purr can lower your blood pressure and your stress levels. There are also studies that suggest that cats use their purring to manipulate humans."// Perhaps this is why cat owners appear to be so brainwashed. 8. //"Cats rub against you to show affection. They show affection by rubbing their heads against your legs or by giving you a gentle head butt."// This is a myth. Cats have no affection. They rub on you to mark their territory. Cats are equipped with glands, located on the forehead, lips, front paws, and on their flanks and rears, that secrete pheromones. Pheromones, which are substances produced by animals, act as a form of chemical communication. Take a look at all of the things your cat rubs up against. Is your cat really showing affection to your stair railing? When a cat rubs against something it's basically claiming ownership. That means when your cat rubs up against you it is putting you on its property list. 9. //"Cats don’t expect to be taken for walks. Most cats will not tolerate being put on a leash and will not usually cooperate when you try to take them for a walk anyway."// As you can see, cat owners are lazy. God forbid you spend some outdoor time with your pet. Having a dog is like having a relationship with someone. You can't just sit around, do nothing, and hope everything will work out. You have to go out with your dog from time to time. Plus, a walk never hurt anyone. When you walk your dog you maintain a strong relationship and you get some exercise. That's killing two birds with one stone. 10. //“Cats can live their entire lives indoors. While many people let their cats roam free, many others, especially in cities, keep their cats indoors at all times and the cats are perfectly happy and content.”// Can you really measure a cat's happiness? I've never once looked at a cat and thought to myself, "man, that cat looks happy." Every house cat I've ever seen has the same dull, bored-to-death look on their face. Usually they're staring out the the window of a 30 story apartment building, wishing they had thumbs to open it and jump out. Summary: So from what the original poster states in his reasoning, we can see that cat owners are lazy and don't want a happy greeting when they come home from a long day at the office. They don’t care for excitement or strong friendships. They want an //easy// pet that won’t distract them from their ever so busy lifestyles. It is apparent that they are also manipulated by a purring noise. "Cat people" are lame.

Nah, it's mostly because my kid and I are both allergic to cats.

I prefer fish. They're quiet and don't need much attention.
