Cats are cooler than dogs

[WilliamPitt]

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

There. I said it.

:)

[Ellen Forradalom]

1. Dogs come when called

Cats take a message and get back to you.

[NJCher]

9. still laughing

too hard over post 3 to compose an answer.


Cher

[meti57b]

19. the reason for that is: dogs have masters, cats have staff; they call you;

you don't call them.

[La_Serpiente]

2. Cats are stubbon like hell

Dogs will listen to whatever you say.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Cats KNOW exactly how you feel.....

They don't give a shit, but they know.

[Archae]

4. Cats rule, dogs drool.

:P

[Paul Hood]

5. I would prefer

to think of them as part of the family.

[WilliamPitt]

6. What you prefer is irrelevant

to the cat. :)

[Paul Hood]

7. I'm sure some people

would feel the same way about their kids.:)

[GalleryGod]

8. Love Dawgs! Shoot ALL cats on site!

:puke:
Sorry! Feline Fans, just IMHO!

[MoonAndSun]

43. Bad, bad, GalleryGod....

:spank:

May the Cat Goddess forgive you. LOL!

[elfwitch]

56. exactly

And that is why I vote CAT!!

[Booberdawg]

10. LOL! True!!

I have both. Boober, my faithful pooch, and two 10 year old spoiled rotten kitties that think they own the place. I love 'em all. I'm far more attached to Boober and my pooch would be the greater loss but the cats are a hellova lot easier to take care of.

[FireHeart]

11. The way they think...

Dogs think "They feed me, take care of me, love me. They must be Gods"
Cats think "They feed me, take care of me, love me. I must be a God"

Cats, you gotta luv 'em. :)



edited for spelling error. At this time of the morning, what do you expect?

[rjbcar27]

12. Rubbish, Will you talk crap.

:-)

Dogs rule all. Cats suck.

This is not opinion, this is fact!

[FireHeart]

14. Well...

If you like subservient pack-oriented animals without a hint of independence or being able to (at least) clean themselves decently...


I guess dogs would rule.

:evilgrin:

[Zuni]

30. good points

A lot of Dogs have a funky smell, have to be walked at all hours, constantly need attention etc.
Cats never smell (unless they just ate a dinner of Tuna fish!), use a litter pan (which doesn't smell if you scoop it daily and change the litter regularly) and mind their own buisness unless you are busy working or reading----then they are constantly in the way.

[Syncronaut Seven]

16. Gee, that's funny!

My boy brought over his Boxer last weekend. Within 5 minutes our calico tom was firmly attached to his hindquarters, claws splayed, hissing like the devil as the boxer ran for his life.

I've never seen a dog so terrified. Funny!

[Padraig18]

13. I have both

I will use a phrase I've heard parents use about their kids: "I love them both dearly, but for completely different reasons."

:hi:

[Syncronaut Seven]

15. Cats have never forgotten...

That their ancestors once stalked & ate our ancestors.

[SOteric]

17. Ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as gods.

The cats have never forgotten this...

[LWolf]

18. So true.

My dog adores me. My cats direct me. I love 'em all, but we all know who's really in charge.

My cats like attention. On their schedule. They like to cuddle...ditto. But I've often wondered:

If they were as big as the dog, how safe would I be? Would I be the provider of the family, or would I be a kitty toy/prey?

[kodi]

20. not in my house.

my 6 doggies expect to be waited on paw and paw.

all i am is the rounded guy who feeds them, sleeps in their bed and chauffers them around so they can hang their heads out the window as we go on trips.

[LuLu550]

21. I have enough people in my life who use then ignore me.....

why bring another living creature into my home that I have to feed and clean up after and who returns the favor by treating me like crap????
I love Lexi the Mini Schnauzer...and she loves me!
:loveya:

[mac56]

24. I'm with you, LuLu.

You summed it up perfectly. Who needs another "companion" like that?

We have Scandal and Smidgen, two Chihuahuas, and we're one big happy.

[LuLu550]

26. Little dogs RULE!

:bounce:

[TrogL]

33. Little dogs yap

and get underfoot and trip you.

Cats get underfood but at least in a predicatable way so you can weave around them. Little dogs bounce off the walls and crash into you.

[LuLu550]

35. I beg to differ

Lexi has a full bodied bark when she needs to bark and she never trips me up. Plus she loves me! :loveya:

[mac56]

51. No, on both counts.

Our boys don't yap - they have full-throated barks, which they use sparingly. And they never get underfoot! Mild-mannered and goal-directed, they are.

[DancingBear]

53. Little dogs are useless

Sincerely,

Dan The Newfoundland

[mac56]

55. No dog is useless.

Curb your tongue, knave!

[DancingBear]

59. <Tongue planted firmly in cheek here>

Dan's best friend is an "anybody's guess" mutt that we adopted from an animal hospital - 65 pounds but about half the size of Dan. They're inseperable.

[commander bunnypants]

22. I am at your service Mr. Cattbutt

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Cats and dogs are cooler than people.

Just ask mine. They rule the neighborhood, in their minds.

[mcar]

25. So true

My cats are very good at ordering me around. :)

[TXlib]

27. You're just startin' shit left and right, aren't you?

[HuckleB]

28. Nope.

Cats feign cool, but lack the true heart of hip. They're posers. Dogs have no need to pose. They are what they are, and that's as cool as it gets.

[Zuni]

29. I agree 100%

Cats are the schiznit. They have more to them than Dogs, and aren't nearly as demanding on you.

[Swede]

31. Cats are Republican,dogs are democrats.

Cats are only in it for themselves. Dogs love their friends and families.

[LuLu550]

37. Great one, Swede!

That has got to hurt those liberal catlovers!

[Zuni]

48. Dogs are oafish, clumsy and destructive

like George Bush.
Cat charecteristics like cleverness, curiosity and agility do not apply to many FReeper types.

[HuckleB]

49. My dog is gentle, graceful, athletic...

and hasn't destroyed anything since it was a puppy. On the other hand, I hear cat destruction stories from friends on a regular basis. It appears that cats don't grow out of it, while dogs do.

[Swede]

60. Cats claw up furniture,speakers, you name it they destroy it.

[Kolesar]

32. You cannot take a cat backpacking (end of message)

[TrogL]

34. Sure you can

In the backpack.

Try that with a St. Bernard.

[HuckleB]

36. Add weight to your pack? Ugh.

A dog carries its own bedding and food.

Though I must say that I am not an advocate of people taking dogs or cats into wilderness areas. They don't stay on the trail.

[Kolesar]

39. I weigh every darn thing that goes into my pack

...so the animal has to walk.

6.5 oz camera,
100 oz tent,
17 oz REI windstopper polyester pile jacket
7 oz puffball vest

I even have it memorized. Egads!
I guess being obsessive is an asset if you are going to carry your home on your back for two weeks.

[Terran]

38. Useful lessons can learned from cats

For instance, a dog will eat anything you put in front of it, no matter how disgusting. And will love you for it.

However, a cat will teach you how to send food back to the kitchen in a restaurant when it's not prepared exactly to your liking.

(Cat looks at dish of wet food that cost $1.99 per ounce.)

(Cat looks up at you.)

(Cat looks at food again.)

(Cat walks away.)

See how instructive that is? Learn from your cat!

[manderley]

40. Could you be more wrong? I don't think so!

Cats are snobby little shits that wouldn't blink twice as their owners are murdered right before their eyes. At least my little Canelo would make a scene.
There,I had my say..

[Shrek]

41. Yeah, Cats are great

They protect sheep from predators, defend the family home against intruders, assist the blind and infirm, rescue children from burning buildings, search rubble for survivors, track escaped prisoners, detect drugs & explosives for law enforcement, and comfort the lonely.

Dogs, on the other hand, just sit around the house napping and waiting for their next meal.

[Kolesar]

42. We are thinking of getting our dog a cat for company while we are at work

What do you think of that idea? Poor doggy gets so lonesome in the house by herself for 10 hours. It would be nice if she had a companion.

[populistmom]

44. My dog needs Paxil

I want a cat, but my daughter is highly allergic, so we have a dog- a very tense, anxious little dog. She likes to bite people who coem to our house. As soon as my daughter goes to college (in about 7 years), I'm getting a cat again.

[HuckleB]

45. Little dogs don't count.

Until they breed miniature cats, little dogs don't enter the discussion. They are another animal altogether.

[LuLu550]

46. Not all little dogs are high strung

My Mini schnauzer is as mellow as they come. If a dog bites people, it needs to go to obedience class! And that is another great difference between cats and dogs...dogs actually LEARN!

[HuckleB]

47. Well, you've got yourself a rare one, in my experience.

Hold on to it nd love it dearly.

I've yet to meet a schnauzer that's not high strung, constantly making noise, and nearly as unfriendly and anti-social as any cat. Sorry, I'm not trying to start anything, but that's my experience with 'em.

[mac56]

52. Nope, nope, nope.

See above.

[HuckleB]

61. Yep. Yep. Yep.

As a percentage, I've met far more friendly, social cats than I have met friendly, social little dogs. Sorry, I know there are some nice little dogs out there. I grew up with one. But I've also been snapped at by any number of other little nasties. You can have them.

[geniph]

50. Dogs and cats vary from individual to individual

just as much as people do. There's asshole dogs and saintly dogs. There's asshole cats and saintly cats. The individuals contradict the generalizations every time.

My three cats are affectionate, loving, and in the goddamned way all the time. They run to the door to greet people. My big boy growls and tries to protect me if he thinks something is threatening me. He comes when I call him (then sits just out of reach pretending he didn't just come bounding eagerly into the room - gotta preserve appearances, you know.) Cats have awakened their owners in time to escape fires, burglars, etc., and I've had dogs that would sit there looking scared if someone broke in and others - even tiny ones - that would die to protect the pack. Cats have saved humans from starvation by eliminating parasitic vermin that ate the food. Both species have their niche, and fill it well. Their current employment - as companions - has saved innumerable people from loneliness, despair, and suicide.

I've had great dogs too. I love both species. It's humans I'm not too sure about. I understand a dog or a cat's motivation better.

[MissMarple]

54. My daughter has a cat who acts like a dog.

He woke her up when a burgler broke into her house in the middle of the night. She and her roommate were able to call 911, the guy left, but he had been in the doorway to her room. Her cat was planted between her and the guy.

He also loves to play fetch.

I like cats. And mine have always come when called. It's in their better interest. :D

I really liked our old dog, though. He looked out for his good buddy who is a very sweet black cat. And he looked out for us, as well.

[cmf]

57. Cats rule

and they don't forget it. Mine actually comes when she's called, but that's because she knows that its probably something good, like food. You have to earn a cat's love, a dog will give it to you for free. You gotta respect that about a cat.

[mac56]

58. That's exactly why I prefer dogs.

Unconditional love. And all they want is to belong, to be part of a pack. Cats don't operate this way IMO.

[HuckleB]

62. Thanks for the cliches.

But cats that are social, give love for free, too. Not that most dogs actually do give it for free, in the first place.

[cmf]

63. True, true

Ok, you have to earn my cat's love. She's very picky about people. But I'd still take her over a dog any day.

[jokerman93]

64. Cats are very affectionate

Dogs are emotionally mono-syllabic.

Cat's are subtle and very, very individual in their expression. I think people who hate cats have never had one as a pal. They may appear aloof, but if you know them, most of the time that aloofness is a form of coy playfulness which is itself affectionate. Cats like little social teasing games.

I know this because my cat (Jack) told me.

[Khephra]

65. Meow!

Lord Master Cat!

;-)

[KamaAina]

66. Is Asscroft afraid of calico dogs?

Well, is he? No?

Then I guess cats are the coolest!

[cmf]

69. Excellent point!!

You have to give cats props for scaring the crap out of Asscroft.

[thebeaglehaslanded]

67. Ya ever play Frisbee with a cat? I didn't think so.

Dogs enjoy life. Cats merely tolerate it.

[absyntheNsugar]

68. My dog noses you for that comment!

And she wants to say that dogs are cooler than cats! Dogs are resourceful, loyal, friendly and are connisours of cat poop!
