Cats. But dogs are ten times, no, a thousand times sweeter and more loveable. And loyal companions, and true mates and real pals and so on and so forth.

Agreed. Cats love home - dogs love people. Cats just let you sometimes love them - try to keep the cat on your lap if it doesn't want it: off it goes.

But cats still are wiser. Besides, you don't have to scratch their bellies for hours in fear that if you stop, they start barking and waking the whole block up.

I agree. Cats are smarter, but dogs love you. And they obey you. And you can teach them tricks. Try getting a cat to play fetch with you...

A friend of mine wanted to have a Norwegian Forest Cat. Can you imagine that? When I heard that I immediately thought of some bewilderd, screaming monster with fangs and claws that dropped itself on you out of a tree - or from the top of the bookshelf.

and they bite people, and they bark annoyingly, and they scare you with growling, they stink, they take craps everywhere, they are so incapable of taking care of themselves, that if you leave them alone, they start whining as if it was doomsday or something. Oh, and if you didn't know it yet, they only act like that cause they know you are their main source of food. They don't love you. They just know you're the boss, and if they suck up to you, they know they will get their treats. As simple as that. And there's no need in arguing with this, it's the cold truth. Humans give their pets human attributes, while in fact they have none. Love is a word that is non-existant in the animal kingdom. So the next time your dog(s) act up lovely, they either want food, or to go out.

Very good point. You can train your dog to not do that thou. But cats, they don't need that training. They're already wise enough not to do it, *hehe*

This is because the cat is smart, and the dog is stupid. The cat knows what he wants, the dog just lets you do whatever you want to it. The cat comes and wants to let you pet them, because they want acknowledgement, and a feeling of beloning in the group. Unlike dogs, who're only, ONLY after the food you can provide them. So they let you do that to them. If you don't give cats food, they go out and kill a bird, or moves elsewhere. They're smart. If you don't give a dog food, they will eventually attack you, or just starve themselves to death. Who's the smartest?

Oh god, they are so cute, it's nearly bearable! I've had two of those in my life, and a friend of mine has had three... they are just soo cute. Monster, pah, talk about being prejudice.

Aww... I like dogs better... they're so cute! And you may say that my dog doesn't love me... but I don't think it's true. She may be stupid, but I've lived with her for twelve years, and I love her plenty, and I think she loves me back. No one will ever convince me otherwise. So there.

And just so you know, Tal, I plan on living with about 17 dogs when I'm older. (not really. That would be my sister.)

It was just the name. If it was called Norwegian Pet P***ycat, I would have a total different image of the cat. My vivid imagination is to blame.

The cat comes and wants to let you pet them, because they want acknowledgement, and a feeling of beloning in the group. Unlike dogs, who're only, ONLY after the food you can provide them.

That's so untrue. Cats are solitair beings whereas dog (wolves) are used to living in groups.

Sorry 'bout that p***s, I just meant a normal, average cat. Really.

: : and they bite people, and they bark annoyingly, and they scare you with growling, they stink, they take craps everywhere, they are so incapable of taking care of themselves, that if you leave them alone, they start whining as if it was doomsday or something.

And who's to blame? The people who raised and trained him - or actually didn't. If you train your dog properly, no harm is done and none of those things will happen.

Oh, and if you didn't know it yet, they only act like that cause they know you are their main source of food. They don't love you. They just know you're the boss, and if they suck up to you, they know they will get their treats. As simple as that. And there's no need in arguing with this, it's the cold truth.

That's so untrue, and I do argue 'cause it's totally different. Just study wolves who the dogs are descendants from and you'll know wolves and dogs too have a strong sense of group feeling and will never abandon the group. Sure, they get food out of it, but how about playing and having fun? That's what wolves do, you know, it's not only about food and treats. And how 'bout if a group member dies? Then the wolves howl.

Humans give their pets human attributes, while in fact they have none. Love is a word that is non-existant in the animal kingdom. So the next time your dog(s) act up lovely, they either want food, or to go out.

Or they simpley want a hug.

: Thank you. You could not possibly be more correct.

Real cat persons.

: : : and they bite people, and they bark annoyingly, and they scare you with growling, they stink, they take craps everywhere, they are so incapable of taking care of themselves, that if you leave them alone, they start whining as if it was doomsday or something.

Well, there you have problem nr. 1. A HELL LOT of people doesn't know how to train their dogs. And some train them purposely for doing so. There should've been a license to have dogs, just like you need a license to have guns, cause some people simply can't handle them right.

: Oh, and if you didn't know it yet, they only act like that cause they know you are their main source of food. They don't love you.

Does not mean it's love. It's like I said. They suck up to the leader. They have a hierchial(sp?) system of ruling, which means that there is one leader, then maybe one or two under him, and then one or two under them and so on. And by sucking up to the leader or one of those above you, you can get a higher position in this system. And why do they want that? Cause the higher you are in the system, the better food you get? Say they kill some animal. Then the leader gets to eat all it wants first. Then those under, and so on, and if you're low, you may end up not getting food.

Sure, they get food out of it, but how about playing and having fun? That's what wolves do, you know, it's not only about food and treats.

They play, do they? Hah, pay some more attention to those who teach you this, OR get someone who knows what they're talking about. It may look like play, but it's practice for hunting. It's always about food, will you stop trying to say something against that? It's not worth it, cause it's wrong.

And how 'bout if a group member dies? Then the wolves howl.

Aye, and you know why? One less to help in the hunt. Plus the fact that groups of wolves fight against each other, and this is an advantage for the other group.

: Humans give their pets human attributes, while in fact they have none. Love is a word that is non-existant in the animal kingdom. So the next time your dog(s) act up lovely, they either want food, or to go out.

: Or they simpley want a hug.

Well, yeah, that may be the reason. But as I have said, it's not of love, it's for something I forgot to mention, the feeling of being one of the group members.

: : Thank you. You could not possibly be more correct.

: Real cat persons.

I do like cats, yeah, but I don't mention them here, at least not purposely, cause that has nothing to do with my view on dogs.

: The cat comes and wants to let you pet them, because they want acknowledgement, and a feeling of beloning in the group. Unlike dogs, who're only, ONLY after the food you can provide them.

: That's so untrue. Cats are solitair beings whereas dog (wolves) are used to living in groups.

Cats, just like the dogs, suck up to you to get food. They know you have food, so they stay with you, and let you pet them, and stuff. They are maybe solitaire beings, but they do know that just like the dogs; if they suck up, they get food. That's ALL there is too it. For every animal out there. Food, food, food. Yeah, that and reproduction. That's all there is to animals. To main needs, and that's all.

Still wanna argue, go on.

I do agree that lots of people don't know how to train dogs and that they should follow a course before they're allowed to have one.

But I don't agree that it's all food that's on a dog's mind. You've got a point about that, but it's not all there's to a dog.

All you talk about is food. Are you on a diet?

I'd have to agree with alli, i think animals can love, not to the extent as humans can but they can. There are some animals who will only mate with 1 mate, and there have been cases in which, after one dies the other refuses to live.

Also, my cat used to come to me every night, even when he was to old and sick to jump on top of the bed, he would try.

: Ah... then try run a mile every day with the dog... er... play with the cat?

no, now, just cause cats, are: smarter, cooler, cuter, and more capable than dogs, deosn't mean you have to say things like that.

phoenix, i love you (and cats !)

Besides, you don't have to scratch their bellies for hours in fear that if you stop, they start barking and waking the whole block up.

There you are SO wrong... Come meet our cat when he wants to be "brushed", and try to stop it before he is satisfied.. he might not bark, but he'll rip your arm off! Then in other hand, I'm seriously becoming to think that both of our cats have a serious brain injury...

But yes, we have both cat and dog, and cats are clearly wiser than dogs.. But dogs are more loyal and less selfish, and you can teach them tricks, and they like simple funs.. Cats don't (at least they won't admit it), and they already know the tricks. (our cat can open a locked door.. That's a real bother) Then of course, cats have such an EGO it rarely fits in one room, or even the whole house............

Hmm...Tal or Alikitten how can love be between a duck and a cat? Kidding guys

I don't know. I'm willing to think that the cat attacks against the duck every now and then... So they must like it rough.

I know that's how I like it..

I can vouch for that...

I mean. You're all dirty little children! The lot of you! You should be ashamed!

I couldn't possibly not add something to this thread... cats are definetly the love of my life.
And I'm happy to hear most of you share my love for felines, but still many falsehoods were written here.
Cats care about their own, that's their only way of surviving. In nature all animals to behave to survive. Dogs' survival depends on their being a part of a group, they wouldn't do well as individual hunters, like cats. Dogs are much louder and less secretive, so they depend on groups.
Cats look only after themselves, and they do it with much cruelty. It's a mystery how they look on humans, but it's obivious they use us, just as we use them . That's why I think a relationship with a cat is more special.
The dogs depends on you. The cat has chosen to.
