cat vs dog

I am a cat person i love the way they are so self sufficient.They even can fin for themselves if they are without a home.Even though we have a dog and i love him <3 i would have preferred a cat.My mom and i went back and forth with the pros and cons of having these two pets,and my father ended it by saying fish are the better pet.He has a huge fish tank with every fish imaginable.As i looked at his tank i thought hmmmmmmm maybe he has something there

cat vs dog vs bird

I'm a bird person myself.  I would love to have a dog but I would hate to leave it on it's own so I stick with birds.  I've never owned a cat and if I had to choose between dog or cat, dog would win hands down but throw a bird into the equation, the bird wins every time.

I've never considered a fish tank but I have stared in wonderment at them in the shops that sell fish.  Big tanks are so relaxing to look at so I can understand why your Dad prefers fish.

I love dogs and I love cats. I've had both including mice, birds, frogs, turtles and fish. I love the little belly on a puppy. Its so cute. Dogs are so loyal and cats pretend they don't love you except when it suits them. Gotta love em.

dogs definitely

geee am i that obvious?

I'm a cat lover myself, infact any kind of animal i love..my daughter and i had them all, hamsters, rats, lizards, fish, a ferret, the ant farm,a dern cacoon (which she waiting forever for it to turn butterfly it never did) caterpillars, frogs, turtles, and two really noisy lovebirds.. well when it came time for the puppy,she brought it home and walked in the door before she could say anything i was like.. omg no more pets, theres enough in the house we have a small zoo here, i'm like looking at the puppy saying.. oh no.. look at his nose and eyes.. nope no more.. look at his little ears.. "noooo absolutely not, take him back".. look at his little tail so sweet... "really we can't have another pet here it's just too much".. oh my goodness he likes me his little paws just the cutest puppy i ever seen... "i said no no no"... let me get my shoes and my purse, were gonna have to go buy him a collar and a leash, some food too, make a spot for him to sleep.. you talked me into it, what we gonna name him... she never said a word..lmao..

Love both species now depends cats are more like women they come to you just when they need attention...but dogs....dogs are just trustful friends

I am a true cat lover.  Cat over dog all the way ! 

This is my opinion of household cats and dogs..
dogs are loyal but their loyalty is to whoever their current master is.  The owner can change and the dog will be loyal. 
cats are more independent and trust is earned not given.  My cat is extremely obedient, friendly, playful, lazy.. She has a very unique personality  <3. 

Dogs are dirtier and tend to get health problems / Cats are cleaner and although they still may get an issue within their health, the chance is much less.

Plus, Dog's poop are large compared to Cat's poop.

I like dogs more than cats because they tend to listen and always following you everywhere you go like a good friend but the cats will always try to scratch your eyeballs out when they're mad so yeah im a dog person.

I think I am a cat person. I've had cats all my life, even before I was born, my mom owned a cat. So I can't really imagine my life without a cat, even though my cat loves to ruin my stuff and eat my food! But some day I would love to own a husky, when I look at them, I fall in love with their sky blue eyes. It wasn't an option, but I would actually love to have a hedgehog, I think they are so cute! And when I was a kid, my first word was hedghehog- just in latvian language!

dogs all the way 

Wow, who dug this thread up from the grave  (OO) >:$. Still a die hard cat lover :3  .

im also animel lover i have three cats, one  female and two adorable male cat.

I preffer dogs.I do love cats,but simply,nothing can change honesty and friendship that man can find in the eyes of the dogs.

ive had both, I love both... i had my cat "georgie" for 19 years.. he passed 3 years ago now. i miss him still... as much as i wanted to get another cat (they ARE very self sufficient i just couldn't. i have 3 dogs now.. and i love them just as much as i did my georgie.  but WOW they are a lot more work! lol.. they're kinda like toddlers that you can leave home alone sometimes..lol  (as long as u pick up everything and dont mind a sofa cushion-stuffing once in while!)  <3

I am definitely a cat person...there is something missing from my life when I am without a cat.

I am a cat person, that is for sure though I like dogs too.

i like dogs more then cats. Cats likes too, but its fascinating about dogs, that pure love with theirs owners... And my favorites are bullteriers  @<3@

I like cats, but I am more a dog person really

ive had two cats in my life so far. no dogs yet. if i get a dog it will be a pug coz pugs rule!!

<i_love_lcb> cats, those are so cute and lazy!

my wife loves cats
she had 19 a few years ago
i like dogs but prefer cows
i have managed a few farms through the years and always loved them
they are mostly gentle but all have great personalities
raising calves is so rewarding because as they get older they still come up and lick your hand or nudge you for a pat
like any animal if you treat them right they will love you back

Cats... But I also love dogs 

I like cats,dogs,birds ,rabbits but not in my house

i had a rabbit in house years ago but he eat cable microphone from computer and flowers
i had a dog in house and he also distroyed my flowers and after a while was afraid of him,was so posesive couldnt touch things from house seems he was owner
than i had 5 kitties and their mom ,of course flowers was very funny for them and i need clean up too much 
and not even was my cat came from street,came one and than +5

now i have only one black cat and 4 flowers saved

            Dogs rule.....We have a 13 1/2 year old Jack Russell and a nearly 4 year old rough coat Collie (possible Golden Retriever mix).  Just when  Lulu (the Jack)  was starting to mellow out,  Teddy (Collie)
brings all this freakin'  energy,  he still thinks he's a puppy (albeit  an 80 pound puppy). 

I see so many people hurting that I try to give my time to people before animals.
My father fed our twenty one pets my birthday cake when I was around 8 years old. Pretty traumatizing watching a freaking turtle among many other animals chewing on what was supposed to be your cake. It was punishment for supposedly me eating my parents wedding anniversary cake. I saw the dog get into the cake and ran into my room to not get in trouble. My parents said, no way did dogs get into the cake, because the pieces were perfectly sliced that got into. After 30 years while getting some time in with my Dad while he had cancer, I finally guessed, it was a presliced cake, is how a dog can get into a cake leaving perfect slices missing.

I do like that cats clean up after themselves, I hate picking up poop from dogs that do not belong to me. Excuse me, but me and kids in the neighborhood do not like to play at local parks and step in dog sh..

i had those animals due to my daughter
i think animals not should live in house,maybe in same exceptional cases

if animall is used for teraphy

you can judge me how you want ,i love it too much cats until i had cats

now i still do  fight with my cat  and family when i see the cat in kitchen
but all are against me

Dogs,of course, cat are unpredictable..

              Eberetta1 ,  I 'gotta weigh in here.  Dogs,  by the way freakin'  love cake.  Every  year around early August when it's Lulu's  birthday (the Jack Russell)  we  buy cupcakes and have a party.  Okay,  it's not as corny as it sounds.  We usually film it because it's so damn funny.    This dog is a beast.  She'll  jump up on the chair in the kitchen when we're singin' "Happy Birthday"  (Yes,  we really do this, don't laugh ya'll)  dogs are family, dammit!!  and  she'll grab  that cupcake in her mouth in like one motion.  It's  pretty amazing.  She's so greedy,  (the cupcakes are NOT  chocolate and don't have the wrapper on,  so don't worry).  Anyhow,  she practically inhales it.  The best part is the gift.  We usually put  a dog toy  loosely  in a bag and throw it on the floor and tell her to get it.    It's like she KNOWS it's  hers so don't get too close.  She shreds that thing  and opens it faster  than anything.  I  have to post a video if I can find one.    We  pretty much do the same thing for Teddy (Collie)  on his birthday but he doesn't react the same.  He  takes his time,  very  sedate compared to Lulu.  You'd  have to be there.

I like dogs more than cats because they can show you love and affection. They can be your real friends, save your life when in danger. After your long exhausting they when you open the door of your house their jump, lick and their happy eyes are priceless.
I love dogs very much.

Dooooooooogs... i have a huuuuuge one :D Great Dane Sarah.. The very best friend a man can have. (i am hoping that my wife is not reading this :)) 

No one in the world will ever give so much love.

Absolutely the best dogs! They do everything that cats do not even remotely dream of doing. truly they love people and do everything to please them. Are man's best friends

I like them both, but in my oppinion dog is more honest and loyal than a cat.

Never could tell which I prefer better between cats and dogs. Love them both, although, I have a cat, because I don't want to have a dog in a flat.

I prefer more dogs than cats. I have one dog. He is cane corso puppy. 

I have to say dogs, although it's a tough decision to make. Dogs are more affectionate and I love me some cuddling! Cats do stuff on their own terms, including cuddling :)

I have two dogs and two cats. I like them bout  both so I cant make desicion :)

I actually like dogs but I do not know how come I got a dozen of cat in my house and none of dog. Too many cats make me poor.  

I like cats and like dogs. But cats are closer to me in spirit. Three years ago I picked up an absolutely black abandoned kitten on the street and since then he lives in my house. While one cat is enough for me. ))

Definitely a dog person. Have been around them my whole life, and just love how affectionate and playful they can be. Though I don't dislike cats, I just find it difficult to connect with them. They tend to be much more to themselves and I prefer to have a companion in my pet. 

i have both, and i love dog more. my cat makes me tilt frequently

add poll

I like cats more than dogs. In my opinion, cats are much nicer than dogs.

Dogs definitely!  I had a German Shepard for almost 14 years and practically grew up with her! Her name was Luna. Now I have Hana, also German Shepard!

Couldn't imagine life without a dog 

Cats are pretty annoying, meowing all the time let me in let me out in the middle of the night and early in the morning. I prefer dogs they are so cute and good at guarding you and more loving.

As for me cats are more independent than dogs. They live their own independent life although they love their master-man. I love cats more for this trait of their character, for their freedom-loving.

I personally believe that a dog is better because it can fend off thieves at night. Whereas a cat is so fit it can do all sorts of acrobatics, it can't deal with intruders. The only reason I would suggest a cat over a dog would be if it was the same size with the dog.
