I'm a cat person. Dogs are usually better companions and better for security, but they are higher maintenance which I don't like. And cats can provide some companionship, depending on their personality.

Cats rock! Dogs are stupid and smelly.

In a dog, one has a sort of slave, albeit an enthusiastic one. At most, a dependent, like a small child. In a cat, on the other hand, one has a friend, who regards you in equal terms.

I prefer the latter, unless the cat is a lion. In which case a friend may very well end up in the cat.

I dunno. I think this cat would be pretty good at security.

Cats view us on equal terms? I'm not always sure about that. I think there is still a slave, but with cats you are the slave.

I could have used one of them!

Dogs of course! Besides. Dog spelled backwards is God.

Dogs FTW!
I'm allergic to the damn cats.


With a dog, you get a devoted partner in crime. With a cat, you get an aloof roommate.

That's Krom.

It's a Boxer/Ridgeback mix, the pic was taken when the mutt was 6 months old. The little bugger ended up a runt, but a beautiful runt at that.

I love them both, but if I had to choose I would choose the cats. I would really like to have a cat, but I'm allergic That is somewhat of a tragedy since I really like them. When I visit someone who have a cat I always have small rashes on my hands and watery eyes since I couldn't refrain from playing with the cat.

When you come home from work, a dog is there to greet you; grateful that you're there. A cat is usually hiding on top of the fridge, waiting to pounce upon you for forgetting to leave a can of tuna for them. From a dog's viewpoint, you are God; from a cat's viewpoint, they are God.

Obviously, I'm a dog person. :chuckle: BTW, I have both dogs and cats. My cats act like miniature dogs when they want my attention.

Dogs think they are people. Cats think they are God. Easy call...

But they can still be friends. Shadow the Lab was put down April 8, 2010. He would have been 15 in July. The gray cat is the latest animal to show up looking for meal that Mrs. M feeds. He is having a hard time adjusting to indoor life.

Dogs ... of course.

 

[taikoo]

cats are sociopaths.

 

[Granite]

We own two cats and a dog.

I'm a dog guy--was raised with them, love their devotion, love my pit's goofiness mixed with her willingness to protect me and the wife at the drop of a hat. (No, we're not those reckless irresponsible mutants who bought a pit bull for the wrong reasons.)

Our cats are well and good, quite affectionate, and the most outgoing felines ever...as well as devilishly clever...but between the two species, I gotta go with the pooch every time.

Unless it's a pug.

Hate pugs.

Dog or cat? :think:

Neither. My fish, an Oscar, is better than a dog or a cat.
