Kittens and cats are so cute and cuddly and so much fun and dogs are yucky and sniff your crotch. Gross imo!!!!
I like dogs. They are pack animals such as myself.
cats are solo creatures and are dependent on me to exist. That's not cool
I however have no problem liking individual animals.
so in a nearby city, about a year or two ago, a dog jumped into taylorsville dam during a flood to fetch a stick, & got carried off. the wife jumped in after it. she got carried off. then the husband jumped in after her. he got carried off. when the flood subsided, days later, they found the missing couple and pet down river on the bank, drowned.
true story.
Oh gods, why? ಥ_ಥ
Things you can do with your dogs that you can't (or most people don't) do with their cats:
Go for a walk/run
Go roller blading
Go hiking
Go to the park and run around and play fetch and frisbee
Go to the beach and frolic in the sand and water
Go to dog parks and hang out with other dogs and dog owners
Go swimming
Play in the snow
Wrestle
Use your dog as a seeing eye dog or to aid you with other disabilities
Cats are good for indoor cuddling and lazying around. But dogs are so much more fun activity wise. Plus you get to socialize with other dog owners if you go to meets and doggy play dates and stuff. Cats are such loners. And not that I'm terribly familiar, but are there cat parks and cat play dates?
I used to have a cat. And I loved her. Just not nearly as much as I love my doggies. I feel like dogs energize you and cats make you feel like taking a nap.
Basically, I like cats because they do whatever the hell they want, and I respect that.
In my opinion, dogs are so much better than cats.
I love dogs.
I don't know how anybody could say dogs are not intelligent, though. Look at police dogs, guide dogs and assistance dogs.

pee. ess.
also I like both cats and dogs, but dogs make much better companions imo. Also there can be bloody vicious and extremely intelligent/stupid animals of both kinds, so they're about equal in my book. A dog will love you more directly, but a puttycat will appreciate you over time as well.

You shouldn't need a dog to motivate you to exercise.
I prefer dogs. I don't necessarily dislike cats, I just find dogs easier to get along with and more fun to play with. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. Though I do think that guinea pigs are pretty rockin'
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I would like for a close friend who would live two to four blocks away from me to have a dog.
I would like to live with a cat, on the condition that I live in a house with a decently sized front and back yard (ie, New Zealand or America, not the UK).
Reasons the cat wins over? I don't want to have to clean up an animal's poop. I want the animal to be able to roam freely. I don't like loud barking. I want the animal to be able to sit still when it cuddles up to me, and be able to do so on my lap. I never want it to pee just because it's sooooooo happy to see me - I'd rather it just rub up against my leg, thanks.
However, I'd still like that friend with a dog because I would like to play fetch and all that sort of thing. I like taking dogs for walks on occasion, too. I just don't want to be obligated to take it for a walk.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I think i'm the best person to ask about this. I have 7 dogs and 6 cats. It use to be 7 cats
While my Australian Shepards are great for herding livestock the are very hyper. I'm not a kinda of person who runs around with my dogs They like to play, well the younger one does more so. While they are cuddly and will protect me. I favor cats.
I'm a ranch kid but I hate going outside. The sun is trying to kill me I swear. My cats loves me ^_^ on head butts me all the time. They like attention when they want it but then leave me alone. I'm not trying to endanger myself all the time so I don't really need a dog to protect me. I love my cats!
My cats are all cuddly when I want them to be and leave me alone otherwise.
Also another point, I shouldn't need dogs to socialize. It's called social skills! I don't need to use something to meet people. I can do it on my own.
