Study Says Dogs Are Good for Your Health: Do You Prefer Dogs or Cats?

well okay then.

All of this demonstrates the cat's superiority.

Cat's have always been superior. no doubt about it.

Those are reasons why I love cats LOL.

IKR!

I love cats, I don't even need to call mine, I only need put my hand on the door handle and he'll come running. However, the last thing about the cat being held captive was hilarious XD

Your cat must love you. My cat is silently planning my demise.

I Own Both, I Like my Dogs But I Love my Cats.

They require less babysitting, as they can basically care for themselves, (which is really nice) and I find the affection of a cat to be more rewarding. Cats are smarter than dogs, so it's a little like the love of a woman; it's not always easy to get, but that makes it more worth getting. They are intellectually closer to humans than dogs, and as such they are more like humans, in that they don't just "blindly love" like dogs do. Cats make you earn their friendship, just like another human does, which is exactly why some people prefer dogs; they are looking for someone with whom they can have a relationship that is rewarding with no effort. The drawback to that is that I think the relationship potential with dogs is minimal; they're just dumb companions, whereas cats can really be your friend, in an almost human sense.

For whatever its worth, if you ever see "Living with a Calculating Cat" at a bookstore, it's hilarious, though I think it's been out of print for several decades. It illustrates through comedy the "specialness" of cats.

I agree.... me and my cat Neko carry on conversations. It's like he understands what I'm saying. I have seen some amazing and intelligent dogs I must say though..... like police dogs and a dog my parents had when I was a baby. They said he knew where my crib was in the house and so he would sleep under my window to protect me. But living with a cat is like having a cool roommate.

Even though right now I have cats. They volunteered.

I love them both. My cat thinks she is a dog.

Love them all. Dogs first

I love dogs as well but cats are nice 2

I have a dog and he is so cute, I prefer them because there more interactive and they can become your bestfriend if you get what I mean. But if you prefer silence and stuff, cat's are like silent company:)!

Some cats are very vocal.

Dogs are fine, but cats need less fuss, they are very independant. Some care homes now have visits from dog owners, and it seems that fussing a dog actually lifts the spirits of the old folk, and cheers them up too.

I prefer dogs.

puppies and kittens are awsome but dogs are mans best friend :)

Dogs are fun, and can be watchdogs.

Ever hear of a watch-cat?

Yes actually LOL. I had a cat that would attack anything that messed with me. I miss her :(...

Actually, if you've ever looked on the news or watched animal planet. Theres cats that have saved there owners, one woke them up to a fire and they got out safety. And one cat, attacked a bulgar that was breaking into the house.

Yup, I have 2 of them, the 3rd one not so much. The dogs hide under that bed.

Computer dont work, so I couldnt send a picture from the biggest cat in the world.

I'm allergic to cats.

Cats are superior.
And the only dogs I will ever have will be cooked, served on a plate.

This is difficult. You should have included an "undecided" option or something.

For me dogs just pip it. You don't get scratches all over you with dogs and they are more affectionate. You can also take them for a walk/run. Cats just run away from you and hide under cars!

I disagree.... my mother in law gets scratches on her arms from her dogs jumping on her and cats can be very affectionate. But yes there should have been a undecided option.

I know cats can be very affectionate but I was talking generally and for me dogs are slight winners not wh

I beg your pardon. As I said in other statements. My cats were leash trained and we went for long walks in the woods. There were times when they would step on a twig and it would lift up on one end which would scare them and they would jump in the air, You have no idea how much fun you can have with a cat..

Take the lead off your cat and watch it annoyingly run away from you. dogs dont do this. Dont get me wrong I still love cats but dogs just edge it.

I loveeeeeeeee cats

& dogs . But you did not put that option .

I love all animals but my 'first love' has always been a dog. I believe these pics sum up the quintessential difference between our canine and feline friends!!

When I get home, my cat always runs up to me with her tail straight up in the air. I call it the "friendly greeting tail." As a bonus, she doesn't jump, slobber, or make excessive noise. Those are cute pictures, though.

I know, Shayla. Cats are delightful creatures-but they can be a bit 'snooty'! That's part of their charm in my opinion!!

Haha, that's true. I think that's one of the reasons I like them so much!

My Cats Do the Same
