Dogs vs Cats

motorhead
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
The recent thread by GSB inspired me to post this.

I like cats. In fact I prefer cats to dogs. But I'm not here to try and convince anyone to change sides. My point is that it seems almost "unmanly" for a guy toovs kitty cats. Have you ever paid attention to TV advertisements for cat food? You never see a male cat owner. It's always a 30 to 45 year old female - and unmarried is strongly implied.

Let's stop the prejudice against male cat owners! I know I will have one supporter.

I like cats. Cats are like women, and my cat Exxtacy is like a stripper. This was my previous post about my cat:

Was my Cat a Stripper in a Previous Life?
Posted December 4, 2012 (Last Comment: December 6, 2012)

I'm beginning to wonder, was my cat a stripper in a previous life?

The evidence:

1. She is beautiful and graceful
2. She sits in my lap without being invited
3. She thinks only of her own comfort
4. She is totally selfish and self-centered
5. She ignores me when I want to play with her
6. She always does exactly as she pleases
7. If she gets angry, her claws come out
8. She acts affectionate and rubs against me only when she wants food
9. Her name is Exxtasy


I would get rid of this ungrateful cat, but I need a little pussy.

Three cats and two dogs. An equal opportunity employer! I guess, technically, two cats and one dog are my sons. One cat and one dog are mine. At least that is how they were acquired. The SO takes care of them.

I have both. I spend more quality time with the dog because the cat doesn't like to be held. Not sure if there is correlation to stripper, except the dog likes to lick my ears.

@Moto-As usual, you bring up great topics.
@Jackslash-Love your list. 100% correct.
@Shadowcat-Ain't that the truth. I grew up in rural areas and we always had a couple of mousers.
I love both dogs and cats and have no preference. They each serve their purpose. Anybody remember the commercial where the cowboys herded cats? 3-5 years ago. Great commercial.

Dog guy here.

Lots of feral cats on my farm. Mostly I just shoot those characters. Any animal that spends such an inordinate amount of time licking its own asshole has no place in my house. If my dog even has the same disgusting habit she doesn't assault my eyes by doing it in my presence. Daisy loves to splash around in the stream that runs through my property. If cats did the same I might not find them so disgusting.

Anybody have any favorite breeds? I'm partial to red dogs-Vizslas, Rednose Pits, Irish Setters, Redbone Coonhounds,etc. Just something about a red dog. Must've been "Where The Red Fern Grows" that did it to me.

Cats.

The slavishly, idiotic devotion of most dogs creeps me out. And the ones that *aren't* slavishly devoted make me want to shoot them. There'd be a shit load of dead dogs around my neighborhood if I could get away with it. Stupid fucking owners refuse to obey the leash laws and then bitch when their dumbass dog gets hit.

I grew up with and appreciate both, but I'm definitely more of a dog guy. I don't like the snotty cats that disappear and hide when I want to pet them. I get enough one way relationship with the wife. At least I get free affection from the dog, and not that way you bunch of perverts! Lol

I have three dogs, that roam as they please amongst the horses on my ranch. I also have 2 cats who control the toad population for me. They are all fixed, and I take good care of them. My dogs are my favorite since the cats typically stay to themselves. I have a bloodhound, a german shorthaired pointer, and a boxer. Bloodhound stays by the house all day. My boxer runs around and bothers everyone all day. My GSP is my loyal sidekick who fearlessly follows me no matter where I go. He caught a blackbird yesterday in mid flight, and brought it right to me. Hes a good boy.

Cats may be extremely careful about cleaning themselves, but they still do not have the same bad smelling breath as dogs. Lol

Dogs all the way. If cats didn't shed everywhere and use a litter box maybe. But i can't stand the smell of cat piss at least dogs go outside.

What litter box? My cats have always used a pet door and then when they do their thing outside they cover it up.

Dogs leave their shit for you to step in and love to eat shit. I had a rabbit hutch when my kids were little and our dog just are their droppings like they were chocolate chips.

Farmerart talks about cats licking their asses. Don't tell me your have never seen a dog suck his own dick. :)

I have both. I live in the country and a cat helps keep out the mice. The cat only come near me when it wants something and requires little attention. The dog requires a lot of attention and care. They both have their benefits.

I've had both cats and dogs before. Right now, just dogs. I'd say that dogs are superior to cats as pets. Two reasons:

1. Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

2. Dogs come when called. Cats take a message and get back to you later.

To be fair, my vitriol should properly be directed at dog *owners* who don't understand their responsibilities, and the breeders who are so greedy for a buck that they refuse to actually *cull* the culls, but instead sell them as breeding worthy.

Given the right temperament, I prefer dogs. But cats can be extremely entertaining.

I saw this video the other day, still laughing over it.

@jester214,

Of course I would shoot feral dogs as well but there just aren't any of them around my place. I think the coyotes deal with them quite handily. The feral cats can climb trees to escape the coyotes. My own dog is a big ol' bitch and probably intimidates any strange dogs that enter her territory. She intimidates the coyotes, I know. She is bigger than any coyote.

We've started getting coyotes here in S. Carolina te past few years. They're a real pain in the ass...

@goodsouthernboy,

Gotta disagree with you about coyotes. I have been around coyotes all my life, fascinating animals to observe. They are smart, crafty, adaptable, unpredictable creatures. I love watching them work. A coyote is the only predator that I have seen take out a porcupine without getting speared with quills. That is a tricky manoeuvre. Even my old dog isn't that smart. Her one encounter with a porcupine resulted in a faceful of quills. Ouch!
goodsouthernboy

I can't disagree about them being smart, but deer and quail hunting is big in my area and coyotes seem to mess up both... This is probably because they are so smart and work well together.

Yeah they're growing up here apparently. Every now and then I hear about someone losing a dog or cat to them.

I had lots of animals when I was a kid and don't care for any now. I'm allergic to cats. However they seem to go straight for me when they see me and want to rub up against me. Reminds me of strippers. Except the strippers only rub off glitter and body perfume usually instead of some allergic hair. Well makeup too. I guess cats and strippers are similar. Give a stray cat some food and it keeps coming back and hanging around. If you give a stray cat too much food, it will keep eating and eating until it can't even walk straight. Yep sounds like some strippers if food and money were the same thing.

You should change your mind. Having the unconditional love of a pet will help you live longer.

I prefer Pussy Cats, rather than Dogs. :)

I have always preferred cats, but have had both and love all animals. They are all capable of unconditional love. All you have to do is feed them and provide vet care. I prefer cats because they require a lot less maintenance. All the cats I have had let you know when they want to go outside and do their business. Like others have said, dogs will do it anywhere and I don't like stepping in it.
Thanks, Motorhead, for the topic. I actually thought the same thing when I read GSB's original post about his dog's snake bite.
