I just think generally that cats are more attractive graceful creatures that naturally smell good. But let's hear your thoughts on cats vs dogs. I didn't chose cats - cats chose me. But you are right on all the things you list. -- Bob. Cat's motto: No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it. |

did ramble: Humans beat canines or felines in the stupidity department any day though. So true. My cats have figured out how to use tools (they move the kitchen chairs so that they can jump up on to the counter -- Still kittens, can't quite make it to the counter in one jump) I know humans that can't figure out how to use simple tools. |

None the less, I had to get two large (~60 pound) dogs to control the raccoons and possums that were coming through the cat flap to eat the cats' food. The dogs are expensive and I really don't like them much, but they do what they are here to do. T.E.D. - e-mail must contain "T.E.D." or my .sig in the body) |

I'm not so sure about that. I never hear about anyone declawing a dog :-) 9) Cats are low maintenance. 8) Cats are prettier and more photogenic. I've seen some ugly cats and some very pretty dogs. It's all in the eye of the beholder. 7) Cats don't jump all over me with muddy paws when I feed them (though they do walk all over me with muddy paws when I'm in bed). Dogs are more trainable, more eager to please. How many working "cats" have you seen? My Golden never jumped up on people unless invited to do so. 6) Cats keep the mice down. Dogs keep the gophers and larger "pests" away. 5) Cats are softer. 4) Cats are quietly affectionate. 3) Cats purr. 2) Cats don't bark all day and all night. Well I've known a few strays to yowl all night. When a dog barks it's talking, just like when a cat meows. Mine never barked all night but that's because I didn't leave her outside when the rest of the "pack" (as she viewed us) were in the "den". When she did bark (she was an usually quiet dog) it was in answer to another dog, because someone was coming.. or because a bird dared to land in her yard. (although she would let them eat out of her dish and drink her water. Weird dog) 1) I've never been bitten by a rabid cat, but I have by a rabid dog.

The dogs are expensive and I really don't like them much, but they do what they are here to do. I agree to the more expensive and as pets they are much more high maitenance. You should get to know your dogs. They are amazing companions. Most of them will do almost anything to please. I have a lot of exposure to working dogs and I am constantly amazed at what they can do. I love dogs. To me they are much more companionable than cats....but they can also take up a lot more space in your life. AG |
