1. Cats are best for cat people. Dogs are best for dog people.
A dog and a cat are best for couples where there's a dog person and a cat person.

Personally - I swing both ways :)

16. LOL! How diplomatic!
:P

But maybe we should address this question: what defines a "cat person" and a "dog person"? Inquiring minds and all that. ;)

21. Cat person = adult person who values time spent with cats more than that of dogs
Dog person = someone who...aw fuck you know what I'm trying to say here :)

44. I like that, yah!
Dogs are so great but I have cats.
Long as people like animals then I think they're great!

I don't trust people who don't like either though.

I mean, I like cats. They're not my first choice, but I'll consider a day reading with a cat in my lap a day well spent!

They rescue and recover humans from wreckage, apprehend criminals, and lead the blind.

What's stupid about that?

30. You know why Alf ate cats?
Because on his planet they knew what kind of menace the kitteh demon spawn were. They eventually destroyed his home planet of Melmac and forced him to become an illegal alien living in some white guys garage.

18. That's why we love 'em
They're weird, ornery, and a pain in the ass at times, but they dance to their own tune. Dogs, on the other hand, are basically the frat boys of the animal world, loud, slobbering, and in constant need of attention and validation.

20. Signs your cat might be kind of a dick:
6 Adorable Cat Behaviors With Shockingly Evil Explanations

There seem to be two kinds of people in the world: those who don't understand cats, and those who think cats are kind of douchebags.

Unfortunately for cat lovers, science has kind of come down on the side of that second group. Research has revealed that a lot of the quirky and even cute things your kitty does are actually signs that your cat is kind of a dick.

http://www.cracked.com/article/226_6-adorable-cat-behaviors-with-shockingly-evil-explanations/


I love cats. I have three of them and I adore their evil behaviors. But they may, indeed, be kind of dickish.

but I have to settle with cats. I like that I can leave for a couple of days and the cats fend for themselves. I do love dogs too,one day I might find myself in a situation where I can have a dog..but that's not the case right now.

28. you would have to see my twenty pound cat
terrorize my german sheps

He can make them quiver in fear when he decides he is bored enough to play with the *lesser* animals.i've watched that cat stand off 6 dogs at once..and they didnt dare move on him.

the last time one of the sheps really tried to take him on he bled enough I was worried..the cat tore him apart.That cat has held it's own against a bobcaT..killed MANY 3 foot plus snakes....our little housecat is a monster

;-)

Actually, I love 'em both equally, but grew up with cats, and so I am more accustomed to their companionship.

We don't have a dog because we live in a townhouse, and don't want to have it cooped up all day with no room to roam and exercise. If we had a house in the country, we'd probably have a pack - with cats too, lol.
