Cats or Dogs?

Which do you like better: Cats or Dogs?

Are you a cat person or a dog person?
Usually people are one or the other. While someone may like both cats and dogs, they generally have a strong preference. Other people flat-out love one and dislike the other.

They are very different animals, cats and dogs. Of course in the wild they act differently; dogs are pack animals, and cats (except for lions) do not hunt in packs, they hunt individually.

Domesticated dogs and cats are also very different. Dogs need a social hierarchy which may change from time to time, whereas cats tend to imprint and treat the human as a surrogate mother.

Show animals are also very different. Judges and breeders look for different qualities between the animals.

Let's talk a bit about each animal, and then you tell us which one you prefer, and why.

Cats

Felus catus, house cat, domestic cat

Cats are smaller than dogs and are different from felids (which are lions, jaguars, lynxes, cheetahs, leopards, ocelots, and others).

Cats are capable predators and can hunt many flavors of critters for food.

It's said they are the most popular pet in the world, with 600 million living in homes.

Dogs

Canis lupus familiaris

Dogs (the domestic variety) are members of the Gray wolf (or Grey wolf) species of canidae. Canidae also includes other wolves, coyotes, jackals, and foxes.

Dogs are pack hunters and social learners. They have a complex social hierarchy which is very important to them.

Their social ability allows them to fit well in to many households.
Important!

Definately Cats, they more independant and have an attitude :)

Vladi says:

Comparisons are odious. The Feline is innately superior to the other creature you mention.

Dogs!

DOGS all the way!!! Besides, cats make me sneeze!!! And dogs love you no matter what. For me cats are too independant.

Obi says:

Dogs rule! They are truly a man's best friend. I must say that you need to choose your dog wisely. Otherwise he/she will either tire you out or annoy you.

Danny says:

Dogs are better than Cats! Dogs are always ahppy to see you, and happy to do anything, except take a bath. Dogs are more loyal, and more trainable. If you die, a dog would staver before eating you. A cat will eat your eyes after you die, and they smother babies. Also Dogs don't get blocked.
