Cats or Dogs: Which is the best? 🐶🐱 Aug 02 2016, 03:40 PM

So, I have these friends. You can NOT say Cats/Dogs are better that Dogs/Cats otherwise, you have yourself an instant argument. My 'cat' friend says that cats are better, because: they're cuter, they clean themselves, they're cleaner than dogs, they're more loyal than dogs and are more loveable. My 'dog' friend says that dogs are better because: They're loveable, more loyal than cats, and benefit society - for example, Guide dogs, police dogs, and the fact that some dogs can detect medical illnesses (sorta). Neither of these two have owned the other animal. So I can see why they're biased, like myself only having grown up with dogs (rottweilers and a husky), I'm more for dogs. So which do you believe is best? I have a feeling that the majority of you will say cats 😶 but its your opinion.

I have grown up with both and owned both since. We have two cats now as I feel they are easier to look after. No going for walks in winter like with a dog. It's also easier to go on holiday as we have pet feeders and a water fountain. Well for a couple of nights anyway. Then just get a friend to check in on them. With a dog you either need kennels or to take it with you.

I have a cat who I love so I'd say cats, but I also like dogs and if I owned a dog instead I'd say dogs...

I've had both and I was never close with my cat. She kept herself to herself which did make it easier to look after her but there was no closeness. I now have two dogs as well as this cat they get on fine but I just love the loyalty and closeness I feel toward the dogs. It's more of a real friendship, giving and taking. I like needing to go on walks because I know I need to go outside and would never have the motivation without my little sweethearts.

My cat is super friendly and even lets me take him on walks on a lead in the garden. I agree some cats aren't as "close" though.

I have to say dogs because most of the pets I've had were dogs

I've grown up round both. Each pet I've come across has had a different personality, so hard to split the two apart really! :)

I have my own mini zoo. 5 Dogs, 1 three legged cat and 2 Lovebirds and 2 rabbits, oh and a handful of pet fish. The winner ~ Dogs Reasoning: Based on personal experience, dogs are a lot easier to train, also most rewarding in terms of hours/emotional investment compared to what you get in return. They make decent security for the house and they give me an excuse to go for a long walk in the streets and still feel safe'ish. Also cats tongues freak me out, their like a grater.. I mainly have bad experiences with cats, so my answer is also pretty biased. The cat I had growing up always attacked my legs as I was walking past. Evil critter. Dogs have masters, cats have slaves... Scenario: After returning after a long day of work.. Dogs be going mad and are overwhelmed by excitement by just the sight of me. Cat upon seeing me, will yawn and demand food.

I had a dog from age 7 to 16. Then a cat from 16 to now. Cats and dogs both have their own pros/cons but I love my baby. And as an adult, I would rather own a cat, just for the fact that they're mostly self sufficient. I would hate to have a dog and it be neglected bc of my life. But I want another kittten D:
