    I think Cats are indisputably more intelligent, and far less work. They're also the only kind of pet I own.

    However, I've been hankering after a dog recently. There's a companionship there that you don't quite get with cats.

    Cats. heir smarter, more independent, far cleaner and dont slobber all over you nevermind smell like crap. You dont have to walk them or scoop up their poop orworry about them attacking someone. They keep your home free of pests and are real fun to watch. Of course they spend most of their time sleeping. But even this is good as they put out a calming karma. Also if a cats affectionate ro you its because it loves you not because it wants some food. They can survive quite well without you unlike a dog.Though they do get over affectionate when you go to feed them rubbing all over your legs.

    A domestic cat somehow enlarged to the size a Golden Retriever would be the best compromise, I think.

    How you'd achieve this, I don't know. Some form of gene manipulation, probably.

    I think cats and dogs are the same when it comes to intelligence. It's just that cats don't really interact with human as dogs do which is why some people think dogs are smarter.

    I gotta go with cats though. I love underdogs.... well, cat in this case.

    Is this for real? Well, then GAH to you!

    Also, pound for pound, a hyena can tear a tiger or lion apart. But that is matching gross weight, not numbers. Also, a wolf is a lot smarter than a big, brutish fanged cat. That would be a great pet... just have the big ****er sitting in a corner, staring down your company, never uttering a sound...

    Cats all the way. Dogs are too loud, extroverted, energetic, dirty, "masculine", and whiny for me. They're like American football players--loud and obnoxious, and I never understand why they're so appealing to the ladies. Dogs remind me, strangely, of the apocalyptic ladder theory. Cats are more introverted, truly loving, majestic, and self-sufficient. More like me.

    They have something in their eyes that provokes your thoughts - even the cutest, smallest one can be intimidating; unlike dogs, which could be easily read.

    And they're smarter in an arrogant sort of way. Dogs are dumb and their habits could be easily forged. They lost their wolfish ways to the comforts of man.

    Maybe we could breed cats and dogs together to get a pet with the loyalty of a cat and the cleanliness of a dog.

    No way. Yes they have a stronger bite. But their no where near as agile and they dont have the claws that cats have. Cats are the sharks of terra firma. Next to man their finest killing machine on land.

    So there is this cat queen in a close neighbourhod, where the workshop of a friend that I frequently visit lies, breeding once every few turns months. Since she's so warry of protecting her kittens, she wouldn't let any single member of the Canis genus in the neighbourhood.

    A couple, of the unluckiest stock, decide to sit at one of the few cafés in the street and their bad luck is so firmly established that they decide to bring on their dog, of remarkable size and shape, along.

    In a momentary ambush, Ms. Cat charges and routs the poor canine and fortifies her position in case of backstrike underneath a car. The wardog, though, is nowhere to be found but behind his owneress and the cat is fiercefully defending her position against the besieging ally force the husband, trying to fist her.

    The situation woud go severer should Ms. Cat have sallied forth but my friend arrives and the couple with the dog promptly leave.

    The dog would probably need some rehab.

    That's hilarious, great story. Once I saw this large dog chasing a cat, the cat ran across the street and the dog almost had it, I was worried the dog would kill the cat or badly maul it so I started moving closer. The cat ran up the trunk of a tree and in one smooth motion back out on a branch and then doveoff the branch right onto the dog's face where it proceeded to rake and kick and scratch until the dog whined and ran off.

    The cat sat down and started licking itself clean, as if it had gotten dog stink on itself.

    Agreed. Cats are also (well save the lion) solitary hunters unlike dogs (but hyenas aren't related to dogs anyway). Plus a tiger or even a lynx or bobcat is way scary than a wolf, as cool as wolfs are.

    Dogs are hoplites; cats are horse archers.
    That's awesome! That explains it perfectly! Awesome!

    At the barn my mom goes to, there is a dog eating cat. It lives in the barn, except it can't catch mice and is fat. It likes people, but it attacks any and all dogs. It once sent a dog to the vet with half an ear...

    Cat's.


    And I can say that the intelligence of a dog or cat depends on the individual animal. One constant however is that any house pet will gravitate to the person who gives out food the most. Then they will show a preferance to an individual. One of my current cats a female domestic short hiar named M prefers me to anyone else. She will tolerate me to hold her up side down (as in cradeling her on her back in my arms) for periods longer than 10 seconds (if she's in the mood). She won't do that for anyone else. Even still she is not the smartest cat out there, we call her the special needs kitty.

    Dogs are friendly, jumpy, loyal and disgusting. Cats are boring, clean, easy to take care of and don't require too much free time.

    The problem with cats is that they rip up way too many birds. we had to put a little bell on our last cat to stop the rampage. Though, on the other hand, the birds that fought back did pretty well. There were a couple of mocking birds that attacked that cat any time she left the house. They just swept in and pecked her head and flew off, they were too fast for her to grab. After awhile, she just started runnig when ever they saw her. I would have helped the cat, but the birds were only attacking her to keep her away from their young(She had already gotten afew of them)

    Cats are more intelligent, cleaner and generally more beautiful. But dogs make better friends, and that is why I prefer them
    Exactly

    Dogs are a happy, gullible and can't really see whats coming. A dog will almost always be happy to see you. Cats, on the other hand, are a little different....
