cats vs. dogs.....

i'm new to the blog thing, but i have noticed a lot of people put their pets on these things. a lot of people like cats, and a lot of people like dogs. and i see a lot of people who love cats say cats are better than dogs, and vice versa.

i am trying to take a neutral stance here, but it's hard, because.................don't look.................i like cats.

let's try to step back for a second and look at this objectively (from my viewpoint anyway).

the good about dogs:

1. they are friendly (all the time);
2. they are loyal (all the time);
3. they will defend you and kill people who threaten you (all the time).

that's all i can think of. i'm sure i am missing some things.

the bad about dogs:

1. they can be too big for the house or car (a cat is never too big for anything);
2. you have to walk them, even if you don't feel like it (which is good in a way, walking is good);
3. you have to pick up their poop;
4. they can be too loud
5. they can scare the average person;
6. they can smell really bad;
7. you have to bathe them.

that's all i can think of.

the good about cats:

1. they are friendly (when they feel like it);
2. they can be loyal (when they feel like it);
3. you don't have to really worry about them (they are more independent than dogs);
4. you don't have to bathe them;
5. you don't have to pick up their poop off the street (they are smart enough to use the cat litter);
6. they can't kill you (much like many breeds of dogs; a pit bull will rip your face off just for looking the wrong way).

cats and dogs are both awesome (talk about staying neutral). people have preferences. i prefer cats though, i don't have to take them out. cats can go out by themselves, which is pretty cool. if you let a dog out, he/she may not come back.

i like an animal that knows where it is supposed to go to the bathroom, and can do it in the house.

hear this - both cats and dogs lick themselves in places that disgust us - how do you choose?
