Dogs are gross. While cats may have a litterbox, dogs will eat from said litterbox. Dogs are one of very few mammals that will eat feces.

Dogs are dumb. I can train a cat in 5 minutes away from destructive behavior with a water gun. A cocker spaniel will still pee itself anytime it gets excited even after years of training.

Dogs are high maintenance. i can leave a cat home over the weekend and come home just fine. A dog will be half starved and have destroyed my home.

After years of trying to appreciate dogs I no longer can tolerate them.

Viva le chat!!!

This?

Greg, how come you don't like cats?
I don't not like cats.
I-l just-- I just prefer dogs.
I mean, I'm just more of a dog kind of, you know--
Come home, wagging their little tails, happy to see you kind of--
You need that assurance? You prefer an emotionally shallow animal?
I--
You see, Greg, when you yell at a dog,
his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals, his ears will go down.
A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection.
- They don't sell out the way dogs do. - Huh.

Cats don't give a shit about you. They only really come to you when they are hungry.

Dogs are social creatures, like humans.

Cats are solitary creatures, who are just primal and instinctual.

Plus, you can never fully trust a cat. It WILL scratch your shit if you do something it doesn't like. I owned cats and dogs before, and dogs are better.

FACT: Any man that loves cats over dogs is gay. yes, this is a fact. You may think its subjective but its not... Guys that love cats more than dogs are completely and utterly gay. There is no defense for it.

FACT: Any woman that loves cats over dogs is someone to avoid when it comes to any type of relationship. (everyone knows a lonely cat lady, as apposed to a lonely dog man. Its inherantly impossible to be lonely with a Dog.)

FACT: Cats are fucking stupid, lazy and needy.

FACT: Dogs are smarter than cats..... When was the last time you heard of a seeing-eye cat for the blind? How about a Drug sniffing cat? What about a guard cat?

Have you ever heard of a black dog being unlucky compared to black cats?

What "familiar" does a witch have? certainly not a black dog..... Ohh yeah, they hace black CATS!




QUESTION: If your house was being invaded by hostile people, woud you rather have a pussy or a mans best friend?




Conclusion:


Cats fucking suck. I'd rather have a stupid bird... at least it will make some noise when an intruder enters instead of purring and being a complete whore up against anyones leg.

My Dog is the final say in this discussion.... our neighbors have no more outside cats because of him. They all, at one point or another, jumped into our yard.... they all have left in trash bags.... at least what we could gather of their remains.

The CPS people have to come to my door and ask to get in the back, and I like that, I dont like anyone getting in my backyard willy-nilly. I have had my house broken into 3 times. It's been 6 years since then and coincidently, I got my dog Kabuki right after the last time in 2004, never had ANYONE step in my backyard since then without permission.

He is also smart enough to realize when I go back there with people.... He is a people person dog.... only if they are invited though. I can take someone back there, tell him to sit, then say "friend" and he automatically relaxes around them and becomes a "puppy". They go out there without me even after introduction?.... not a good idea. and thats the way I want it... I had my house broken into by supposed "friends" when I was in highschool.


Tell me you can say that for a fucking stupid cat and I will laugh right in your face while my dog eats your feline friend.

Cats have their place as companions when it comes to cuddling and shit.... but they are in no way, AT ALL, better than a DOG when it comes to total loyalty and companionship!

Thus....

DOGS ARE BETTER!!!

I'd argue that when I get a pet, I want a companion. I have never felt that I made any of my dogs "whipped". In fact, I let them be for the most part except to understand my commands. Thats not "whipping" them though, You need to understand dogs.... They CRAVE a pack leader... its in their nature. If you let them run amok THEY will take control... Someone has to be a pack leader.

Its not like cats where you can let them be and pet them when you feel like it.

Ceaser Millan is not just some TV show personality, I have met him, he really does understands dogs. Dogs CRAVE a pack leader. If you dont provide it, they will take it upon themselves. Its nature. to think Dogs are subservant from the get-go is idiotic, you just dont understand dogs.

Pit-bulls where bred to kill many years ago and are mainly maintained by "unscurpulous" people.... That doesnt make the breed bad, it makes the handler bad. It's all in how you act as a pack leader.... If you leave them to their own devices, they will take on a new leader.

I've personally known 4 differnet Pit's that are sweet-hearts.

Pretty much this.

A dog will die for you.

A dog will ALWAYS be happy to see you home. Literally every time you walk in the door, you will hear a scurry of feet and then a friend greeting you with happiness, tail-wagging the whole way.

I have to laugh when people say cats are better because they are more like humans. That is EXACTLY the reason why dogs are better. Like this planet needs more people full of their selfish drama and "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" attitudes.

A dog that's treated well will almost always be a kind, good, loyal companion. I had a cat when I was younger that I played with constantly. Never hit him, just set solid boundaries for what's acceptable and what isn't, chastised him when he stepped out of those boundaries, and he turned out to be the meanest pet I've ever met.


Dogs > Cats. For the single reason that many dogs are less like people and more selfless, loving creatures than most humans ever will be.

I tested this one time............walked outta the room......the cat acted like it was getting up to stretch its legs...........I looked over my shoulder and the cat was sliding along the edge of the couch trying to see what I was up to. I continued to walk around the corner, and sure enough that little peepin tom bastige poked its head around the corner to see what I was up to. I tossed a cup of water on its damned head....... freakin cats need to mind their own business. :ihit

I have dogs and cats (and birds and rats and lizards), but would consider myself a dog person first.

Everything people say about dogs here is true, and with proper training dogs are pretty awesome.

But a properly trained cat can be pretty awesome too. I was resistant to cats for many years because I believed all the negative guff about them. Sure a lot of that stuff is inherent in the cat personality and is exacerbated by people who keep them solely as an easy, no hassle kind of pet. But a kitten can easily be "trained" (socialized) to be affectionate, playful and loyal too----if you want to invest some time. But many cat owners don't; that's why they own cats!

My dogs and cats get along famously; they all lay around the house together and even groom each other. Lots of chasing and wrestling matches too.

My cats are sweet, lovable and come running to greet me alongside the dogs when I get home. If I take my dogs for a walk, the cats follow behind also. They really do want to be part of the family, because we raised them that way.

Yep. I have 2 awesome cats. Duncan kind of does his own thing, but he doesn't cause any trouble around the house. Admiral is the sweetest cat I've ever had in my life, hands down. He is a snuggle bug from the word go, and he LOVES to play fetch.

They require so little, but they give so much in return...and they are both always waiting at the door for me when I come in.

And cats aren't dumb. You can teach a cat what you teach a dog. It's just that most people are too lazy.

I love dogs too, but, in my home, I prefer cats. They're quiet, clean, and don't stink (provided you keep their box clean. Is that asking too much?). And when I get home at midnight, I don't have to take them out to do their business in the snow.

Dogs are gross. While cats may have a litterbox, dogs will eat from said litterbox. Dogs are one of very few mammals that will eat feces.

Pretty sure you're confusing sniffing with eating. Not to mention cats are just as dirty, if not more, since they use their tongues to clean themselves and also put birds, rats, etc. in their mouths.



Dogs are dumb. I can train a cat in 5 minutes away from destructive behavior with a water gun. A cocker spaniel will still pee itself anytime it gets excited even after years of training.

You obviously won't be able to train a dog if your idea/time put into "training" a cat is squirting them with a water gun. And I don't think I've ever seen a dog pee itself over excitement...



Dogs are high maintenance. i can leave a cat home over the weekend and come home just fine. A dog will be half starved and have destroyed my home.

This doesn't make sense. If you leave a cat at home, if they can get outside they're just going to walk around the neighborhood eating other people's cat food that happens to be out. Or a bird or a mouse. If you leave a cat inside the house for a weekend they're going to scratch or tear up your furniture or something looking for food.

Dogs don't have the luxury of climbing fences if you leave them outside, so of course they'll be starving when you come back. If you leave them inside, you'd be retarded and of course they'll have shat and pissed all over your home since you left them no food, or anyway to get out to go to the restroom. Pretty stupid comparison.

You also sound like a shitty owner.

There's been like two people that have mentioned that in the thread.

And, I never said I don't think dogs eat feces. But people who confuse dogs smelling feces, for automatically eating feces for pleasure, are retarded.

If you had a dog that would regularly eat feces, you probably didn't feed him enough.

And they're animals who cares if they do. Cats lick their assholes and vaginas all the time. Especially when they're in heat, so they're licking all their vagina juice and yet, people think they're cleaner than dogs.

Ok. What if they don't have room for a bigger dog? Say, a one bedroom apt, for instance. Admittedly, I fall under that category, and I'm getting a smaller dog, but I'm still curious about the answer to the question...

Sometimes a dog will eat their feces if there are undigested articles of food in their stool. Mothers with newborns will also commonly eat the feces of their newborns. As such, puppies may eat feces as an observation of the mother's behavior or as part of exploration. In addition, a dog may eat feces as a response to recent punishment, to get attention or because it desires to clean its environmental area

Lol they will eat their own shit. I never confused smelling with eating. I know what chewing and swallowing look like.

And any dog that weighs under 15 pounds.

Ok. What if they don't have room for a bigger dog? Say, a one bedroom apt, for instance. Admittedly, I fall under that category, and I'm getting a smaller dog, but I'm still curious about the answer to the question...

Eh, I was half joking. I, too, have a one bedroom apt and if I could get a beagle or similar breed I would. Like Milo from the Mask.

A single man with a poodle is sort of a warning sign though. Sorry if you're getting one.

There's been like two people that have mentioned that in the thread.

And, I never said I don't think dogs eat feces. But people who confuse dogs smelling feces, for automatically eating feces for pleasure, are retarded.

Two assumptions.

One was that I was referring to only the people who posted in this thread.

Second is that you assert the OP confused the dog smelling shit with eating it, even though he has said he was sure of it.

Seems defending dogs as "non-shit-eaters" is important to you.

They clearly are though. Anyone who has ever owned a dog with access to a cat's litter box knows this. Especially indoor mostly dogs.


If you had a dog that would regularly eat feces, you probably didn't feed him enough.

"Probably"? Disagree.


And they're animals who cares if they do. Cats lick their assholes and vaginas all the time. Especially when they're in heat, so they're licking all their vagina juice and yet, people think they're cleaner than dogs.

Both dogs and cats lick their genitals. Cats are cleaner than dogs, by nature - that's why they bury their excrement and spend 25% of their life grooming themselves.

Btw, fixing your cats will (mostly) solve that problem.

The dogs I've had in my lifetime never ate shit regularly. But I'm not saying that because I had a dog that didn't, dogs must not do it. Which is more along the lines of what the OP and you are suggesting.

I disagree with cats being cleaner because they're constantly grooming. They do that because it's their instinct, not because they are actually cleaner animals.

No it says they eat them because they look at them as food or to 'clean.'

Actually the reason why dogs eat cat shit is because there is a high level of undigested protein in cat shit and that is oh so yummy to a dog.

I really do not see how you compare eating animals(see food) to eating feces (see shit).

Sure you can train a dog to not eat shit but leave them to their own devices and that litter box becomes a buffet.

And then I said, if you did have a dog that regularly ate them, then he was probably wasn't fed well enough. Not sure what's confusing about that.

And if you are using that article that Fuzzy posted, it's an article for "coprophagia" or a disease or condition that can affect both dogs and cats.

Negative. I think it's pretty obvious (to most) that dogs care little about grooming themselves. Cats spend a ton of their time grooming themselves, and bury their excrement far away from where they eat and sleep, getting moody if it is too close or smells.

Dogs, on the other hand, will gladly shit and piss right where they sleep and eat, no problem.


So you think because cats bathe more than dogs, they must be a cleaner species?

Because cats instinctively, naturally groom themselves much more than dogs and most other animals, yes they are a cleaner species.


Dogs can't bathe themselves, you have to do that for them. So by your logic, since cats bathe themselves more than humans, does that make them cleaner than us?

Dogs obviously need to be trained. IF you don't, you are simply a shitty owner. That being said, it's not as hard as some people make it to be. Basically, you train it as a puppy, from when its about 2 months, till it's about half a year. If you've done it properly, by then, it will be a well trained dog. You might have to do occasional exercises till it's a year old, but after that, pretty much nothing.

Umm, no. A golden retriever and many other stupid dogs require about two year of consistent training in order to not be utterly obnoxious.

Training is not about getting it to get the animal to obey commands. Give me a box of milkbones and an afternoon and I can have most dogs obeying, sit, lay down, shake, fetch and the like.

Its about training them from their obnoxious instinctive behavior like eating shit, barking at every stupid fucking thing, eating only certain things, not fucking with people when they come over, generally destructive behavior and the 8 billion other annoying things they do.

If you want it done quickly than you can inflict pain on the dog and generally that will work but it elicits other bad behavior well and of course its unbelievably mean.

I am neither fat, mexican or lazy. I just do not require a sycophant for emotional affirmation and I certainly do not require a nasty shit eater. I feel the opposite of desire to control something like that. I want a friend that is not obnoxious. I do not want a slave.

Well, like dogs, cats are all individuals with different personalities. Breed also plays a role in determining "normal cat behavior." But, generally, cats don't like their own crap. It's the reason they bury it. And the reason their mood/behavior can change drastically if the litter box isn't kept clean.

But take people with dachshunds, cavalier king charles spaniels, collies or golden retrievers. They bark at any and everything. You constantly hear people talking about how they like to have the dog to alert them of intruders and allow a knock on the door or the doorbell to trigger the response. Drives me crazy.

And dear lord they are dumb. You can open the door, show them the outside, hell even take them outside and ring the doorbell and they will freak out.

You have to teach them to not shit where they eat and even then it does not stick all the time. Most people will do that and that is about it. The rest of the behavior is passed off as cute and expected. I think the accusations towards work ethic are a bit misplaced.

I know how to heel train a dog and the like. I just have about 8 billion things I would rather be doing.

did the dog eat your homework?

Well, like dogs, cats are all individuals with different personalities. Breed also plays a role in determining "normal cat behavior." But, generally, cats don't like their own crap. It's the reason they bury it. And the reason their mood/behavior can change drastically if the litter box isn't kept clean. I can't imagine any reason a cat would eat its own feces other than, as someone else suggested, illness. They just don't do that.

some cats eat shit, some dogs eat shit. they both eat shit.

Dogs have Masters; Cats have Staff

If Cats could talk, they would lie to you!

I have two cats and they have distinct personalities and they are great cats. I'd rather have a cat because they're less maintenance. I can go away for the weekend and all I have to do is make sure the litter box is clean and they have plenty of food and water.

Some humans eat shit too.

Thats not the point. Dogs like to eat shit. They are carrion eaters that will eat anything that even remotely smells of food.

But take people with dachshunds, cavalier king charles spaniels, collies or golden retrievers. They bark at any and everything.

I wouldn't lump Golden's in there with any spaniels or dachshunds, and collies are herders and will bark to protect flock. Golden's are one of the easiest going breeds and easiest to train. Do they have a lot of energy as a puppy, sure, but they're not big barkers (unless they're bored and stuck in a house all day) and they are quite smart. They are also one of the best dogs for getting along with other animals (large and small) and putting up with kids and their bullshit. They're one of the most used breeds for service and therapy dogs. Not sure what was going on with the ones you've seen.

Except that cats don't, though. I did some searching last night just to satisfy my curiosity and see if maybe I was wrong, but I found absolutely nothing indicating it as part of typical (or even common) feline behavior.

Never have and never will own a cat. I had a roommate once who had a cat and the apartment smelled like cat shit and piss. Litter boxes are nasty. Take that crap outside!

I looked also and there was nothing. In fact I also didn't see anything that indicated it was considered normal behavior for a healthy, well adjusted dog.

It's true litter boxes can be nasty, but it's not because of the cat. Get rid of the roommate, keep the cat and litter box, and just make a little effort for your clean, odor-free apartment ;)

Sons the first pet I get once I'm done with college a pure bred pittbull and I'm training it to tear something to shreds on my command. Lets see someone do that with a fuckin cat.


Also I'm going to name it Tyson, what does everyone think about that as a pittbull name tbh?

TBH, it sounds like you are overcompensating for a small penis.

People tend to be horrified to find their dog is eating feces from the cat litter box. One of the first questions they ask is whether this means the dog has a nutritional deficiency. Since the behavior is common even in the most well nourished dogs, the fact that they like the taste is a more likely reason. It's not a good idea to allow it to happen, and training is not a reliable option for a behavior that provides the dog with a "tasty treat"-tasty to the dog, that is.

Cleaning your ass versus eating every piece of catshit you can get your muzzle into or any shit really? is there much of a difference?

The only reason Cats are ever even taken seriously in this age-old debate is (A) women (B) Lions/Tigers/Panthers (C) lonely men who wish they were women.

Dogs are far superior to the domesticated cat. There is no competition. This is just a fact.

Nah. I have no problem with gay people. Even those little yappy dogs show more emotion than the domesticated cat. You might as well get a goldfish and save the $$ on the kitty litter.

Species A cleans itself rarely.

Species B cleans itself often.

Which is the cleaner species, in your opinion?

Obviously, if all things are equal, it's species B. But this situation isn't equal.

What I'm saying is not that hard to understand. An animal physically grooming/bathing themselves isn't necessarily indicative on whether or not they are a clean species. I'm just using a different meaning of the word clean. By clean, I'm referring to bacteria they carry, diseases they carry, and their overall state of living, etc. Not necessarily if their exterior is cleaned, although of course there's likely a correlation. Birds bathe in water often and that's considered cleaning themselves, but they're still a disgusting species, as they carry tons of bacteria, eat worms/bugs/etc.

Just because they have a means of physically cleaning their exterior isn't the end-all-be-all comparison as to whether are not they're cleaner than another species. Same with all sorts of animals...rats, chicken, pigs, etc.
