A dog always looks up to his master.
A cat always looks down on his master.
But a pig...a pig will always look him in the eye.
That said, a dog — two of them — are our pets of choice.
I’ve always liked cats better than dogs, but only in the last few years have I asked myself why. I came to realize that I enjoy the challenge of obtaining a cat’s love. A cat will definitely tolerate you if you feed it, but it takes more than that to win their affection. To see a cat change from being completely feral to being an affectionate housepet is very cool. Just tonight, a feral cat that we’ve been feeding for a while (we trapped her and fixed her last year), FINALLY head-bumped my hand and let me pet her when I fed her. She crossed the kitty Rubicon! LOL! Not much to some people, but to me it was a thrill. ;o)
Don’t know about dogs, but cats make a nice stew after they’re treated a bit with a heavy duty meat tenderizing mallet.
I cant stand a dogs smell. They stink. Other wise I’m all for them.
I love them both, but they are quite different animals!
Although I’ve had the honor of working with people who had therapy dogs
I must confess I’m drawn to cats. Not that I don’t like doge. I’ve never been a dog owner. I’ve shared my life with two cats, one at the rainbow bridge and one meowing for me to feed her.
I think to open your home to an animal, whether its a dog or a cat, you need a big heart and lots of love. I would never date someone who didn’t like either dogs or cats. They become your best friends and all they ask in return is love and of course, a full food bowl. I’m grwreful to live in a world that has such wonderful creatures in it. When ever I feel blue I’m kitty loves me. She’s my best friend.
And I better feed her now
We’ve had a succession of rescue dogs and are angling for another. The animal control officer is holding a dog that was horribly abused pending a criminal prosecution of the owner. The dog is okay but has been left pretty scarred and frankly beat up and ugly; broken bones that didn’t heal right, a rambling gait and some permanently missing fur. They thought he was unadoptable but we want him.
No cats for me, I spent over four decades working with unintelligent, self-centered prima dona’s who thought they were the center of the universe. I don’t need another one.
Arizona...heat, illegals, McCain, dogs...ick.
Both are great and each have their own personality. If I had to pick between the two, I would choose a dog. My favorite dog, a big, loveable German Shepherd, died last year. It was harder on me than I thought it would be. I miss him very much.
I also had a favorite cat a few years ago that behaved in many ways like a dog. In fact, he was a lot of fun, very active and seemed to enjoy playing with our dogs. It was very sad when he just up and died for no apparent reason one day.
Pets can be a blessing and can provide companionship. I swear they can even express love if you treat them right.
Clinton murdered his dog. No more photo ops.
Who knows what the Sunni Kenyan does with his dog.
Dog = Man’s best friend.
Cat = Fuzzy novelty.
I’ve got dogs, and cats, and even had a preemie goat (who passed away the next morning).
Whatever God sends to my gate, I take.
Dog owners are more humble. :)
I’ll never understand the vitriol some people have when it comes to dogs or cats. I love animals and I’m equally enamored of both of these top pets.
Of course, dogs are so different that my view is tempered by that fact. I adore German Shepherds but look askance at many breeds. Cats are more homogeneous.
NEVER trust people who don’t like cats.
They’re all wonderful.
There.
