Topic: Are a dog lover or a cat lover?Posted By: Green Shield Stamp
Subject: Are a dog lover or a cat lover?
Date Posted: October 13 2009 at 12:35
Whilst I don't dislike cats, I far prefer dogs.
I love my dog. He is gentle, loving and obedient. He is great with the kids and they treat him like he is a baby brother.
His feet smell like biscuits.
So, which do you prefer....dogs or cats?

I'm a pet lover in general. I prefer dogs but right now I can't have one where I live. Then, I have two cats.
Here's one of them, alone and with my girl...

Cats and more cats. I have two whom I love dearly, Keri and Chloe. Hard to take a decent photo of them so will say Keri is a black short-haired domestic moggy and Chloe is a long-haired tabby domestic moggy. They are utterly spoilt and absolutely run the house!

Both are incredible pets but i prefer dogs, because with dogs you have
much more challenge to your life and also they can enrich your life
more than a cat. cats are more passive, they make a nice fellow but
mostly they go their own way and live more beside you than with you.
with dogs you can have much more action, can train them and for kids
they make the better playmate... all in all they are more drawn to
humans than cats i think.
I definately will get a Samojede when i have the time for that

As a kid I liked dogs, but not cats. You couldn't play with cats like you do with dogs. If you ran towards a cat the cat would run from you. No fun at all.
Now that I'm older and not so wild as I used to be, I like cats a lot, actually prefer them, and cats can deal with me much better also.
I voted for cats, but I like dogs as well.

I love dogs, but utterly adore cats - can't imagine our life or house without them.
We've had many come and go (now hunting in the clouds ) over the years, our current two are:
Tosca (in sleep mode - her only other mode is following me around the house meowing loudly)
Baggins (in disapproving stare mode - he also uses sleep mode and jump-on-daddy-when-he's-asleep-at-3-in-the-morning mode)
Love'em

Let's face it - if and when the hordes of barbarians invade, we won't need weapons of mass destruction or nuclear armaments, just put a couple of kittens like the one on that video in front of the attackers & they'll melt.
If that fails, throw a used litter tray at them

After pet-sitting for some neighbors, I have decided that cats are way cooler than dogs (I've never had a cat). And it doesn't hurt when they crawl all over you for some attention.

Yes, they are. And they need to be. The most adorable dogs are just plain silly, and absolutely incapable of differentiating their tail from the rest of the nature.
My friend once said "why would anyone want to have a dog? It's like wanting to have a retarded person at home." I guess he won't understand.
I love both dogs and cats equally. And - just as a dog needs to be silly, cat needs to be lazy. Another friend of mine had a fat cat who would sleep on a sofa. When he wanted to sit there, he would just grab the cat and drop it on the floor - that cat wouldn't wake up even for a second.

Actually dogs are fairly intelligent. They are highly trainable, and understand more than some people think they do. Dogs do have selective hearing though, tell it to go do something and it can't hear you, say dinner and they run from across the house.

Sounds like you've had some better luck with the breeding than I have. I did get one baby from some platys that survived once. I do believe they tend to eat their young.
Oh wait a second, you said "breading" are you suggesting we should fry up our tropical fish?
By the way, for any of you who keep tropical fish pets, when they do go belly up do you give them a "burial at sea" via the toilet or something else?
As a side note, tropical fish love you in their own special way particularly when you drop some flakes in.

What can a kid do between birth and age 12 or so...? Share life with a Boxer dog, that's what
Playfighting, swimming, running, walking, throwing sticks, balls, watching the silly thing trying to bite falling snowflakes and so much else i can't remember. That dog was fun. And always pleased to see me when i came home from school, unfailingly loyal and as strong as an ox. Quite a beast for a five or six year old to "control" (it must have been the other way about till around then!) I didn't even have to train her - my dad did all the hard work.
Funnilly enough it hurt a lot when Stormy gave up the ghost all those years ago,,, as an adult, I've never owned a dog and that memory is probably why.
Cats? I don't mind other peoples, but no way are they for me.

This is right. Cats are truly intelligent creatures, they train US. But damn it, they're so soft and cuddly.
I do like dogs though, but I don't know if I'd ever have one. If so I'd want a golden lab, OR if I had the space a Siberian Husky. Those are beautiful animals.

She's doing fine. Drools all over me whenever I drop by. Anyone else out there have drooly cats? The house, wreck that it is, is her best shelter and I drop by every day to hang out with her. I'd keep her over at the apartment, but the pet deposit is outrageous. Anyway if all goes well, we'll have a house again in the area before too long. The two tropical fish are doing fine, too.
