Poll: Cats or Dogs

[Bitcoon]

Dogs are stupid, loud, and smelly.

Cats are smart, quiet, and can clean themselves.

I've owned many cats, and they have all been loving and affectionate, but also content to do their own thing if you're busy. Conversely, I am currently taking care of my brother's dog while he is out of town, and the stupid thing constantly tries to bite my feet, will not leave me alone, and will whine for hours if you gate him in the kitchen and try to ignore him. I've never understood animal cruelty, but I seriously think I could bludgeon this stupid dog to death and not feel a thing, except maybe joy at finally having some peace.

I may have covered this, but I hate dogs.

It really depends on your luck. I hate cats, and yet I love them. Same with dogs.

I have two cats right now. One is a total lap cat, loves attention all the time but is fine being on her own, and purrs up a storm if you dare to do so much as look at her.
The other is a mean and skittish son of a ****, pees everywhere and refuses to ever improve no matter what we try. He uses the litter box but goes no further than the basics, refusing to cover his leavings ever. Instead, he chooses to spend 10 minutes pawing away diligently at the adjacent wall or door. >_>
Cats.. I don't trust completely. Our good lap cat only seems to want attention as if she's the center of the universe. I can't help but feel her purring and cute acts are really only there because she realized that they meant more attention, more petting and such. Cats are selfish, and I've always kind of seen them that way. They seem to care nothing for their owners

Dogs, though, I see another way. They don't seem to be so selfish. The good ones, anyway, will follow their owner to the ends of the earth and give readily of themselves. They are not like cats, lone creatures only looking out for themselves, but they genuinely seem to care about others. Loyalty is hardly something I can say I've seen in a cat.
Yes, I also see dogs as dumb, though. Often the stupidity gets to the point of hilarity... or annoyance. It depends on the dog, again. I find that stupidity to be an endearing trait in some. But at least cats don't BARK and HOWL. Selfish they may be, they won't keep you awake at night nearly as well as a dog. T_T

Honestly, I can't say either is better or worse. There are definite pros and cons to both so it's really all about preference. You want something to love you unconditionally, despite often acting dumber than a sack of bricks, or you want something with its own life and goals, there to pretend to like you when there's something in it for them?

Dogs, because they're more loyal than a cat and can be trained, they're also more fun to play with.

And because I hate cats.

Foxes because...fuck you that's why!


Cats that's my story and I'm sticking to it

 

[FalloutJack]

Compromise: Foxes! They're awesome.

(I'm sorry, but getting me to choose BETWEEN cats and dogs is crazy. They're both cute and fuzzy.)

First we ate the horses, we weren't riding anywhere so we ate the horses. Then we ate the cats, I never liked cats, so fine. I do like dogs, but we ate them, then the rats...

I prefer cat mainly because they don't need to be taken out for a walk (yes I know there are some cats who like to be in the outdoor).

dogs, when did you see a cat in the army? never that's when, dogs on the other hand are willing to take a bullet for their owners.

 

[theriddlen]

I was expecting a poll. I am disappoint.

Also, cats, because the idea of having a scaled-down lion is just awesome.

Hi guys im new here so just a simple post too start off with do you prefer Cats or Dogs and why?

Welcome to the Escapist, I am lRookiel the community cookie guardian. so standard protocol dictates I must confiscate all cookies from your possession. *Yoink* They are in my vault for when the apocalypse hits so we have something delicious to eat.

OT: CATS!

Cats fucking rule, they are cuddlier. Plus they don't smell awful -.-

Dogs stink like... Dogs.... Yucky

 

[lRookiel]

Hi new guy, welcome to the Escapist!

Also, stay out of the basement, and don't listen to anyone that says otherwise.

Anyways, dog are way more awesome than cats because when was the last time a cat came and greeted you at the door?

Never, that's when.

Mine do it all the time

They even roll over too. so hah! :3

Dogs because they can be your friend and in my personal opinion have more personality and affection.

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Cats. All day, erry day-

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Dogs; they're more friendly and loyal.
However, cats are often more amusing than dogs...

dogs, when did you see a cat in the army? never that's when, dogs on the other hand are willing to take a bullet for their owners.

A dog does not understand the concept of a gun and a bullet and will stare happily in to the barrel, tail waggling. You should know. A police dog has no sense of duty. Finding drugs, chasing bad guys and so on, it is all a game for them. It is play and fun. We just exploit their physical advantages to serve us.

And what possible use would a cat have in the army? Why aren't there Otters in the army? Just as silly to say.

um dude, i was more or less joking when i said that, sorry if i sounded serious.

Well, Dogs are awesome as companions and for hunting, whilst cats are awesome at killing vermin. So I guess they both have their uses.

But dogs don't have a litter box that needs cleaning every day or so.

And on the other hand; dogs need a good long walk twice or thrice a day, which is good for one's physical condition and overal health.

So I guess dogs win, then.

Dogs, because cats are disgusting creatures to be frank
