PUBLIC OPINION > Dogs Are Better Than Cats

There's always a little bit of a rivalry between dog people and cat people, so we wanted to find out a little bit about what makes them tick with a simple poll. Just to be clear, when we say "dog people" and "cat people," we're not talking about humanoid creatures with dog-heads and cat-heads, although that would be pretty awesome. We're talking about people who prefer dogs or cats, okay? Glad we cleared that up.
Sorry, cat people, but you were outnumbered nearly two-to-one. Cats may have some good qualities of their own, but they're no match for man's best friend. Cats are mostly good for aesthetic purposes. They slink about the room like stealthy ninjas, provide villains with something sinister to pet, and occasionally can haz cheezburger. But dogs provide entertainment, protection, affection, and loyalty.
On Ur Internets, Ousting Ur Dogz
We're not sure if cats are becoming more popular because of the Internet, or if today's teens just tend to like cats more. We remember the days when kids asked for puppies, so we're inclined to believe the Internet is indeed responsible for this shift in preference. The great LOLcat invasion of 2007 was not in vain.
Parents Prefer Puppies
Though dogs are a little more to take care of -- taking them for walks, teaching them tricks, caring if they come back -- parents still strongly preferred them over cats. So, even though kids prefer cats, they're better off asking for a puppy. (And though the gender difference wasn't enough to do a section on, dad is probably your best bet.)
Atheists Don't Believe in Dog
Oddly enough, it seems natural that atheists prefer cats. There's something defiant about the way cats carry themselves. Unless they're looking for food or attention, they don't seem to answer to anyone else's whims. Perhaps that attitude can be frustrating for those who believe in hierarchy and higher powers.
If you'd like to vote on this question, dig deeper into the demographics, or engage in existing discussion about the topic, visit our poll about dogs and cats. We'd love to hear from you!

i would have prefered if people just submitted their opinion without giving their biased reasoning...some of you are just quite mean about it. I don't have a dog because our lifestyle would not be right for a dog. Besides, ever since I got bit by a pitbull for no damn reason I just don't want one. My cat wakes me up, says good-bye, says hello (almost literally...it kinda sounds like it) when I am sick he lays next to me...when i yell at the kids he cuddles up against them to make them feel better and to make me laugh.
Now, my first pet, a dog when I was 6, was exactly the same way...her name was trish and I still miss her dearly. She was a gorgeous black lab and very protective of me and my little brother. I would give anything to have her and only her back.
How about a compromise a Fennec Fox has the best qualities of both dogs and cats.
Can’t survive in the wild without a lot of unnatural apparatuses.

It´s interesting how people need their pets to be "useful". Do you make the same requirements with your friends and loved ones too?? So in my opinion dog lovers are mostly selfish persons because they put the usefulness-factor first.
besides: dog´s can be dangerous and really harm people.
