Cats are TOTALLY better than dogs

Ranked #2,703 in Pets & Animals, #70,205 overall

HERE'S WHAT I THINK

There's no two ways about it - you can't be sitting on the fence with this burning issue

Cats are better than dogs!

It's pointless to draw a comparison between the intelligence and beauty of the two species. Dogs fall behind in the race, cats win paws down!

I should know. I'm a cat.

The Facts

Nothing but the Facts

Looks : For grace, beauty, serenity and independence, look at a cat. To see an ungainly creature with his tongue lolling about, look no further than a clumsy dog.

Servitude : For slobbering servility and mindless devotion, look at the dog. You want someone who sees you as the Leader of the Pack? Pah! Cats bow to no one, dogs will still adore you even if you mistreat them..

The Bathroom. : Do I have to remind you of the toilet habits of the canine? Ugh! No modesty, no shame.

Socialisation : Dogs need to be trained. How many hundreds of thousands of eBooks are out there on dog-training?. Brain-washing is more like it! Of course it's a simple matter to brain-wash dogs, their brains are simple to start with. Dogs also enjoy training, it gives them something to do that's not destructive.

Don't even think about brain-washing a cat. We brain-wash you!

YOUR TURN!

Are you up to it?

It's glaringly obvious to anyone that a Cat will always win in the cat-dog race of ideal companion to the discerning human.

I've stated, out here in the open, my own views on the matter. If you, however, hold a different opinion then make your case!

Of course cats are better than dogs. Smarter, sassier and cheaper to feed

Claire says:

Cats are WAY better than dogs. They are so cute and tidy!

SophiaStar says:

Cats all the way! I have been a long life cat owner and love the feline energy. It is a misconception that they have no devotion, my cats greet me every time I walk through my front door:)

PositiveChristian says:

As a long-time cat owner I have to side with cats. Cats almost look after themselves, but still give a lot back in love and affection.

TravelingRae says:

I have to vote for cats. I like some dogs but I've never met a cat I didn't want to cuddle.

javrsmith says:

Cats are sure smarter than dogs.

Soulwings says:

Cats are easy and loyal to take care for, while dogs need ALOT of socialism.

moviefang says:

Agree! And if you buy a heated cat bed then there will be less hair also :)

Mysterious-Person (who so happens to be a cat lover) says:

I 100% agree with your statements! You're really funny, too! I'm allergic to dogs, which really sucks.

Jack Starbrite says:

Hahaha! I really liked your answer, John Toledo. It made me LOL!

John Toledo says:

Garfield. Odie. Hmmm.

No way, dogs are better. Friendlier, faithfull-er and you can take them for a run

Luna says:

Oops, for Socialization, I meant "and dogs WOULDN'T scratch a newcomer to shreds".

serenity4me says:

Dogs are better! (just my personal opinion).

lieza0814 says:

No doubt that cats are really lovable. But not all people love cats. Dogs are still the best pets for me. My dog isn't trained but it knows how to make me happy. And there's no wonder why dogs are called a "Man's Best Friend". We do have different opinions though. ;)

Stazjia says:

I like cats but I love dogs so I think they are best. No offence, Vladi, I know you are a very superior cat.

Keely says:

Once I fed a cat and later, it scratched me. I have 3 scars! I'm sad :]

Keely says:

Dogs are the longest domesticated animal in history. I just adore them so much!

Mr. Starbrite says:

By the way...

Mrs. Toledo says:

Dogs vs. Cats
Which is better, a Dog, or a Cat? This debate has been going on for centuries and we now have an answer. The Cat is obviously superior to the slobbering Dog. I mean, really, in 1997, over 10,000 US deaths were attributed to a dog owner's choking on saliva during morning wakeup licks.
For one thing, a cat is easier to take care of. It eats less than a dog and will naturally use a litter box, unlike a dog, which will poop all over the place. Cats are also very handy because they will kill tiny pests, such as mice.
Cats don’t require as much time. They don’t need you to give them walks and they can entertain themselves. You can leave them alone for a few days, and all you have to do is leave food and water for them. They also cost less to feed and everything.
You don’t even need to bathe them! Cats clean themselves for about a third of the day. They can also help your health. It has been proven that a cat’s purr can lower your blood pressure and your stress levels.
Yes, a cat is definitely better than a dog. Even the Egyptians worshiped cats! Cats are quieter and they do not bark. No one has ever had to put a sign up saying: Beware of the Cat. That is why cats are, and always will be, superior to dogs.

DOGS ARE WAAAAAAAAAAYYY BETER!!! CATS ARE STUPID AND USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say dogs! Dogs don't give me asthma attacks!

    Having both dogs and a cat, I must disagree. Dogs make much better pets. Dogs believe they are your friend. Cats believe you are their servant and must bow down to their every wish NOW.

    This lens made me laugh though and think of the book Why A Dog? By A. Cat (and Robin Michal Koontz).

    I enjoyed your argument in favour of cats, Vladi, and agree with them but some of the things you say about dogs are actually points that I love about them. Sorry and all that. :)

    I see you have become a fan of lolcats. Sometimes I can spend hours there. Ghost said to let you know she is currently writing her own lens. She is tired of being blamed for having to go to the vet.
