The Big Debate

[mikkyT]

Tabbys are nice cats. For some reason, I dont think of them as devilspawn. But the rest of cats, they are devilcats.

Even my little Cokey

Er hmm. Let me think about it. Hes still a kitten, so I guess hes okay. Kittens are exempt.

Bit of a no brainer this one. Off the top of my head here's a few points illustrating feline supremacy.


CAT - walks itself.
DOG - requires walking.
     

CAT - doesn't require you to lavish attention on it. Capable of living life without constant reassurance he/she is loved
DOG - will snivel and whine like a loser if ignored for too long.


CAT - copulating with owner's leg is almost unheard of.
DOG - will often be sexually attracted to human legs and act on this bizarre desire.

CAT - won't go into paroxyms of rage just because someone has shoved a leaflet through the letterbox.
DOG - treats anything being posted through the letterbox/ doorbell ring as the dog version of 9/11.

CAT - will entertain owner by chasing anything that remotely resembles a rat's tail yet nearly always avoids chasing own tail.
DOG - will happily chase own tail for ages believing it to belong to a rival mutt who is standing very close . coughmoroncaninecough


CAT - pays rent ( in the form of small mice and dead birds)
DOG - can never pay back the amount of time it takes to look after.

CAT - gives love out sparingly, which gives it so much more meaning.
DOG - will fall in love with mass murdering genocidal dictator as long as he says "sit" and "down" and "walkies" enough times.

CAT - more dignity than to respond to barked commands such as "sit." Some view this as evidence of a cat's lesser intelligence but it's a different thing. It's called "self-respect."

DOG - generally regarded as more intelligent than cats. This is a common fallacy, easily tested. SImply pick up a stick, shout "Fetch" and make huge throwing motion with arm without letting go of stick, before hiding stick behind back. Dog will run off and hunt "stick" for hours. Perform same test with a cat. Cat will view you with the contempt you deserve and move off somewhere more interesting for a nap.

CAT - generally smells quite decent, won't leave greasy, malodorous print on hand after stroking. Regards personal grooming and cleanliness very highly.
DOG - even after heavy bathing, still has unassailable, grimy smell trailing it, and layer of grease round every hair. Won't think twice about walking around with big gelatinous globules of saliva hanging from its mouth.


DOG - occasionally attacks humans, sometimes fatally.
CAT - often attacks humans but knows when to draw the line and it is almost never fatal( with domestic cats at any rate.) Big cats will kill humans occasionally, but only when they invade their home and start messing about.  A jungle cat has a rep to keep up u know.

For all those reasons, I like Dogs.

[JungleCat03]

I've currently got cats, but had a dog in the distant past. I can clearly state :

"Dogs have Owners, Cats have Staff"!

I feel your pain.

[Trace]

I love my Dog, even if he did just cost me £107.45 at the vets.

BUT, Cats do have their uses too!

[tantrum]

JungleCat - no need to add more,

Cats rule, no doubt  about it.

[danafish]

Goddammit, why will your crappy poll thing only let me vote once? I've told you, Snoops, I don't need a dog because you're already my bitch. And look how useful cats can be.

[danafish]

Although actually I wouldn't mind one of these

[booder]

I've told you, Snoops, I don't need a dog because you're already my bitch.

snoops is everybodys bitch   

[Rod Paradise]

I've told you, Snoops, I don't need a dog because you're already my bitch.

snoops is every anybodys bitch   

[danafish]

Oh, but I thought I was special! I will clearly have to keep him on a tighter leash.

You know that thing is just gagging for a muddy puddle.

To conclude....

DOG - Has personality.
CAT - er...
