Cats...good or bad?

[Sir Kenyth]

Cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, hamsters, and rabbits all have their inherent good and bad points. Some are smellier, some are more playful, some are easier to train, some are easier to take care of, some are small, some are large, some are cheap, some are expensive, some are easy to house train, some aren't. You have to decide which suits your circumstances. Apartments and St. Bernards don't go well together for instance. Each animal also has numerous breeds with their individual characteristics. Most importantly, just like people, is the individual personality of the animal. A loving gentle animal of any species is a good pet. A mean one, isn't! I've had dogs, cats and ferrets. All were great animals in their own way. I developed allergic reactions to every one of them.

I play that game with my cat sometimes (when he's not sleeping ). They can be so quick sometimes. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I like cats. I have one (as above should indicate). Therefore, I think cats are good.

One day, I'll get a kitty and a puppy. I think that'll be great.

Cat's are awesome!

Cats were worshiped once as GODS
Cats clean themselves
Cats cover their poop
Cats are smart

Dogs are dumb
Dogs eat their own poop (and other dogs or CATS poop out of the catbox, like they were hidden 'treats' or something

Dogs are dirty. Stink.
Dogs are used as slaves to pull sled's in the snow ( [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )

Dogs are OK... but I like an animal that can handle themselves and take care of themselves mostly. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just prefer Cats..

Hmmm...let's think on a bigger scale, dudes and dudettes! Which would you rather face, an angry tiger or an angry wolf?
Anyways, I have a siamese cat (who resembles Chocolate- [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] ) who is the sweetest, most adorable cat EVER. I don't like dogs much, but i'll make an exception for guide dogs and other types-one of my mate's parents is disabled, and she has an alsation that actually helps around the house. Rogue *is* sorta cute, but also real helpful [img]smile.gif[/img]

I kinda like cats, but I'll never have one in the house.

Both cats and dogs stink. Especially the males that like marking their territory.

My allergies don't help, either. I can stand to have one on my lap and pet it, but once I touch my nose the sneezing starts and it's history. Likewise, I can't stand going to cat lovers' homes that don't know when it's time to vaccuum up the hairballs.

I have a cat who despite attacking most feet it sees is good. Rather picky on food though, demands it stirred or something, and miaows when he comes in at 3 AM to wake us up and let us know he is in, before going to sleep. He then tries to eat you feet at 6 or 7 AM, befroe miaowing loudly for no particular reasons, shove stuff onto the floor, shove letters in the sink and so on.

He then cuddles up to whoever.

Dogs need more mainteanance than cats, but seem easier to control.

If the choice is between cats and dogs then...Cats!

Cats are proud and independent animals who ain´t taking no s***.
Dogs are nice too(very useful animals) but are more the "Your word is my law, Master" animals.

I must admit cats are way smart. When I was a kid we had a flea bitten old cat called Nikki, we never saw it from one day to the next. It was a proper Old Tom. It was as old as the hills back then. Talk about smart.

If it wanted to come in it'd leap up, hang by one set of claws on the ledge where the glass was inserted and flick the door knocker like crazy with the other paw. Inside he'd also jump up and hang onto door handles until the door opened.

Ingenious creatures cats.

Dogs have been more usefull through out history. Dogs are more verstile animals. And the 'your word is my law, master' part isnt neccarily true, as my former chow could clarify.

I think dogs are just funner..You can run and they chase you, they seem happier then cats..Some way.

Of course we are using the term 'dog' when actaully we are focusing more on a Lab or Golden Retriever or something. Not all dog breeds act the same.

I had a dog once that was quiet, never played AT ALL not even when she was a puppy, very independant, but loyal, and a very good watch dog. Ahh she was cool.
