[Closed] Do you prefer dogs or cats?

I reckon there is some propaganda at work there 😆

Dog. They are ace! If 19% prefer both, I see that 81% are in my court!! 😉

Depends if accompanied by rice or chips 😆

Dogs anyday. Hate cats especially the neighbours one when it's shitting in my garden.

Ah. I couldn't see how it was possible to prefer both, but as a dish it makes perfect sense. Like curry with rice and chips.

Dogs for me, but I like cats too.

I prefer dogs, but we're living with 3 pussy cats.

I don't dislike cats but their fondness for recreational cruelty is a bit of a turn off. Dogs, on the other hand, are 100% brilliant.

This is a very difficult question for me.. Its like making me choose a Santa Cruz and a Yeti

The cat's alright but she'd go next door if they fed her and stroke her like I do. If I died she wouldn't even notice.

The dog would kill and die for me without question.

Anyone who posts after this needs to consider these situations.

Dogs every time, I'm not a fan of cats at all. We've always had family dogs. I really really want a dog (ideally save a rescue) but being out of the house for at least 12 hours when I'm at work just isn't fair on the dog. Could look into getting someone to come round and walk the dog when I'm at work but not sure how expensive that'd be.

Dogs are infinitely better as pets

Loyal, fun, trainable, can be both boisterous and a calming influence

Cats, easy to look after, they shit in other people's gardens so you don't have to clear it up, they don'trespond to training, you never know what they are thinking but it's usually something along the lines of world domination or how to kill you in your sleep. They kill too many things and cat owners say it's their nature or some such excuse.

If tiddles could stop raping and pillaging the countryside I might look on them and their humans in better light.
Yes I do have a smelly dog at my feet at the moment.

I like both. More of a dog person but we have a cat....

Cats can be just as affectionate as dogs and are trainable. Ours comes to a whistle or call, shakes paws and loves to play. He is very loyal and when the children were small would place himself between non-family members and the children. To this day if he has his preference he will sleep outside their bedroom doors although often they pick him up at night and plonk him on their beds...

He also gets excited on our return from holidays. Unfortunately he also takes umbrage with me and I (and I alone) get a welcome home nip just as I start to relax.

He also has a part of our garden he uses as his toilet. Just one place.

Dogs stink and are far too needy. Cats (siamese) all the way.

Having any sort of relationship with another species is entirely perverse, but as loddrik notes; if you own a dog then you reek of dog, your clothes reek of dog and your house reeks of dog.

I reek of fags, so each to his or her own, but don't kid yourself that you don't stink.

HTH.

Do you prefer dogs or cats.....

...to people?

Yes, in general. I make exceptions but as a rule I far prefer animals to humans.

Tricky.
Obviously cats are inherently pure evil, but they tend not to leave massive cat eggs on trails, and are rarely attached by an expendable tripwire to their untrained human.
The dogs need to train the humans to say more than "he's just playing" and "he's never done that before" though.

We have a cat that really p!ss*s me off. I really really dislike digs though - don't see the point.

Except guide dogs, obv!

Dogs 100% for reason above

Smelly? Flatcoats have the beautiful smell of a freshly oiled shotgun. Golden retrievers can get a but pongy though. At least that reminds of you of your last walk and all the nice foxes!!!

Cats unpredictable, dogs loving and lovable.

Cats any day.
Dogs are noisy, smelly & dirty, just like children. I dislike them also.

I like cats and dogs,but I would prefer my cat to be home,just about to go out in the rain and see if he is at the side of the road somewhere .First time he has never come back and I have a bad feeling about this.

Who would you trust to find you in an avalanche, walk you across the road if you couldn't see, check your plane for bombs.....

If you die alone in your flat with a dog, they will lie down and die with you. If it's a cat, they'll eat your face.

Maybe. Well, only if they're dumb enough not to recognise you as a food source. Cats, on the other hand, are far more intellingent and pragmatic, and clearly understand the metaphysical nature of life and death.

Our dog is part of our family. Our cats are more like lodgers. I'm surprised at least one of our two cats hasn't moved in with our neighbours yet.

dogs are loving and loyal to the death and cats are using murdering bastards.

Last cat we had was amazing she was more dog TBH very active friendly chased things when you chucked them etc current cat is utter bollox , fat lazy & a complete ****. Current dog is a border terrier he is amazing runs the trails hunts shit & loves the kids & other people. He does stink though.

You've not seen the aftermath of a dog in a chicken run before have you lawmanmx?

Cats or dogs but only ever if i lived in the country.

You just have the wrong type of cat. We only have siamese. They are involved in everything we do in the house in garden. They just enjoy hanging out. I have two sitting on me as I type this. The younger one plays fetch, you throw stuff, she brings it back and drops it at your feet. I don't really see the point of cats that are hardly ever in.

I have a Patterdale terrorist Josh and I Have seen it yes, the little bugger held them down an Plucked them, no murders tho 😉 Lol

Both - but circumstance dictates a cat at the mo.

I'd love a greyhound cross (not decided what with yet 🙂 ), but long shifts say otherwise until one of us retires.

Always been a cat man but had this little fella for a week now, he's made me both a cat and a dog person
