Cats only stink if they pee everywhere.
Cats only stink if they pee everywhere.
I like the way my dogs smell when they're clean, but I like the way my cat smells when he's clean
FUNFACT: kitty peed in our bathroom to the point that when my parents started remodelling it and pulled up the carpet, they said there was a huge *damp* spot under the carpet where it had soaked into the wood permanently.
This was about three foot from where we kept the litter box btw. He was smart enough to know to use it but he didn't >:[
to be fair, I have stepped in maybe forty metric tons of chihuahua poop.
Too many dog lovers in this thread! SHU SHU!!
Cats rock, especially my posthumous cat. He did nothing but cuddle you and strangers all day, he didnt smell, he was great at hunting, he never scratched you, he had a loud purrr, and played piano.
Dogs are far superior. Cats are smurfing anti-social. At least a dog loves you back!
Cat's don't need walking. They walk themselves.
Cat's are at least as smart as dogs, if not smarter. They just don't show it off.
No.. they can't. Because
1. They get lost.
2. They get run over.
3. They poop everywhere they shouldn't
4. They herass people.
If cats arent smarter, they at least have more people skills.
And by these points I mean the avarage dog you can find anywhere. Cat's arent trained as some dogs, so it is extremly unuseful comparing the two.
Oh, come on, cats are nowhere NEAR as intelligent as dogs.
Ok let's tally up the avarage dog and cat.
Can they clean themselves?
Cat? Yes
Dog? No
Can they walk themselves?
Cat? Yes
Dog? No
Can they "Do their business" without supervision?
Cat? Yes
Dog? No
Can they run away or get lost?
Cat? Only in new enviroment.
Dog? When untrained, yes.
Can they swim?
Cat? Yes
Dog? Yes
Do they herass people because of smells, look, etc?
Cat? No
Dog? Yes
Drool?
Cat? no
Dog? Yes
Eat Mice?
Cat? Yes
Dog? No
Eat everything else?
Cat? No
Dog? Yes

Nice and informative: Do Cats Have Intelligence/How Intelligent Are Cats?

Er, nothing, repeat, NOTHING to do with intelligence. That's like saying an ugly person's thick, for god's sake. And the drooling? Again, NOTHING TO DO WITH INTELLIGENCE. I drool sometimes, and so do many other people I know, and that doesn't make me or them STUPID.
Er, okay. :rolleyes2
1. A dog is a hell of a lot easier to train than a cat.
2. A dog has vastly better social skills than a cat. Dogs can do things based purely on a human's reaction. If you hide something that the dog wants somewhere and then stare hard and point, it can find it. A cat CANNOT.
3. A dog can help a blind person cross a road. Can a cat do that? I think not.
4. As for people who say "cats are too intelligent" to be trained? Um, no. They're often too STUPID to realise what you want them to do.
I removed those and gave you a link. I suggest you visit it.
Because you are being a bit ignorant.
It explains that Dogs have a different kind of intelligence.. You could say the more useful kind.
Why? Because cats don't care. If they are in a maze, they check every nook and cranny for food.
Cats only do things that fit their goals.
There is one report of a cat using a doormat as a doorbell. He picks it up and drops it, it makes noice, and someone comes to open the door.
That's intelligence, if I'm not mistaken.
If a cat was shown to help an old lady across the street it would only think: "Why? I don't need to do that for survival."
They're not social, like dogs. It's instinct, depending on cultures. Dogs for example live in packs, where they have to help each other.
I never said Dogs arent smart, but you seem to think Cats are stupid.
Im guessing you never had a cat, right?
