Cats vs Dogs

As a fan of felines myself I will enjoy debating this.

Number 2 is a lie, cats just as prone to anxiety issues as dogs are.

When a cat gets stuck in a tree, you call the fire brigade to rescue them. I don't know what the hell you are referring to.

If you are referring to leopards and wild cats let's begin analysing the hunting strategies of wolves and I will display you to sophistication level of the canine. If you are going to use leopards, I have every right to use wolves as they are in the same family of animals, and there are no known behaviour of wolves that cannot also be found in domesticated dog species.

Wolves make tree-hugging leopards look like the pu$$ies they are.

Wolves have a hierarchy, a code of conduct and a way of life. Leopards have a tree...

The only Cat that comes close to the level of sophistication of canines is the lion. Lions, however, are only one species of dog. Put a bunch of dogs together and an entire hierarchy and society will form immediately, cats will just scratch and bite until the most vicious one is left their on its own and the others stupidly cower in the corner when they don't realise they can gang up on the stronger one via team work (dogs often do this).

Good luck on your rebuttal, you'll need it.

On another note, whilst it's true to say that cats are more independent as pets, they will never amount to the level of training that dogs such as blind dogs or circus-trained dogs are. Cats are intellectually inferior to dogs and emotionally less intuitive too.

Jeez dude, don't have to be so offensive.

I'm not talking about leopards, I'm talking about the typical domesticated house cat.

Cats are not as jumpy as dogs! Cats like to chill out!

Cats are great animals, studies have shown that when you pet a cat, your body releases chemicals which can relieve stress and possibly make you live longer.

Cats are smarter than dogs, dogs get hit more often and they bite more than cats, so cats are better to have around small children.

"On another note, whilst it's true to say that cats are more independent as pets, they will never amount to the level of training that dogs such as blind dogs or circus-trained dogs are. "

My cat has been trained to attack animals and get my newspaper.

Next time don't be so offensive, theres no need for that.

"Cats are not as jumpy as dogs! Cats like to chill out!"

This is a lie founded upon subjective opinion. I already gave evidence, in a link in round 2, that cats are prone to phobias and get severe separation anxiety when the owner leaves them, just as much as dogs.

This is also true for humans that own dogs. Dog owners get more exercise just by taking their dog out for a walk. The American Heart Association says that 54 percent of dog owners are likely to get the recommended amount of exercise for good health. All this exercise lowers cardiovascular risks and cholesterol levels, making pet owners more healthy and more likely to live longer lives. Dogs can help you stay socially connected, which is vitally important for people who are at risk of social isolation. Walking with a dog often leads to more conversations and more connections with people. The National Institute of Health states that people who have more social contact and more friends live longer and are unlikely to decline as quickly as those who do not.

What on earth does getting hit more often have to do with dogs? That sounds like it's to do with abusive owners taking advantage of such an empathetic creature. Animal abuse is disgusting and not relevant to this debate. There is no evidence that dogs fight more frequently than cats do, only that when they do fight that they fight with more brutality if they were raised that way. That's actually an advantage as people can train guard dogs to attack intruders whilst they can't train their cats to do the same.

"My cat has been trained to attack animals and get my newspaper."
That's one cat and it most likely did the newspaper thing on its own accord rather than you having taught it. the toilet trick is an old-school trick of training the cat to use a litter box strategically placed on the seat of the toilet. It doesn't come anywhere near to the level of blind dog, or police dog, training.
