Truth about cats and dogs
Which is the better pet?
Spencer barks and dances in circles to greet you and wags his tail so hard you are afraid it will fall off. He barks when you come home and also when hes home alone. He frightens off burglars, but brings in neighbors complaints. Sybil, on the other hand, purrs when you sit down for her to snuggle on your lap. The neighbors never complain about her meows, but they do complain when she goes and digs up their gardens. So which of them wins hands down as a pet?
Dogs rule
Dogs mostly scratch themselves. Cats often scratch other people, sometimes leading to stitches, bandages and hospital time. If dogs don"t like you, they let you know early on, cats wait till you are within striking distance, and come at you without warning. Dogs scare away burglars with their barking and territorial behavior, cats think burglars are another person to serve and pet them.
The fire department has rarely been called to fetch a dog out of a tree. You see dogs coming, and can take cover and run, but cats sneak up or stalk you. Dogs love long walks on leashes, most cats will send you to the hospital for even considering such a thing. Most dogs will respond and come in when you call them, cats wait till you lose your voice and go find them. At home, dogs will guard your home, bring you your slippers and newspaper, and worship you. They will mostly eat whatever you put in front of them without fuss and then some. Many dogs interact well with children and are patient enough to allow ear-pulling, stuffing hands in the mouth or even dragging by the tail and various other painful kid antics. A cat often will not let a child near, and needs to be closely supervised. Have you ever seen a movie or a television show about a courageous cat saving a boy from a well? The case rests.
