To think that dogs are loads better than cats?

[SelfconfessedSpoonyFucker]

They don't dig their claws in you to show they love you.
They get excited when you come home
They deter burglars
They sit on your feet when you ask them to
My son isn't allergic to them
They don't hide under furniture to claw you when you walk past
They don't leave half-dead 'presents' as often
They are less likely to bugger off to the neighbours and get lost.

[ClaraOswald]

I love both equally for different reasons.

However, I would like to refute several of your claims using my late dog as example.

They don't dig their claws in you to show they love you.
Instead she leapt at you at full speed resulting in an unplanned arse;floor interface
They get excited when you come home
See above. Also only if you had been gone less than an hour. Disdain was the result of longer periods of absence. Dare go away with my now DH? It took a week for her to come back to her usual self
They deter burglars.
She would bark. As soon as she was approached by another human, she held up a paw to be shaken. Once you had done that she was your friend. For life
They sit on your feet when you ask them to
She hated feet
My son isn't allergic to them. No comment, but she shed more than the cats
They don't hide under furniture to claw you when you walk past
Not underneath,no. Her guerrilla tactics involved sneaking up behind you and either sticking her nose in your arse, or standing just far enough behind you so you wouldn't notice until you fell over her. Or just barrelling towards you at top speed, barely allowing you to adopt a stance which meant you could remain upright while holding several stone of Border Collie
They don't leave half-dead 'presents' as often.
The presents weren't half dead, but the sticks would be covered in shit so just as bad
They are less likely to bugger off to the neighbours and get lost.
She didn't often bark or howl, but she sounded like a wolf when she howled and a rottie when she barked. This pisses neighbours off more, I believe

No chickens are evil bastards they peck your toes and the cock wakes you up at silly o clock with his crowing.
The only good chicken is one roasted with some lemon juice and black pepper.

YABU. Dogs smell and you have to pick up their poo. You can always tell a dog owner's house from the manky dog smell.

Cats are luuuuurvely.

[TheDetective]

Dogs eat shit. Their shit, cat shit, your shit, shit out the toilet, out the litter tray.

Nuff said!

[Fenton]

OMG Maryzed, them's some dirty dogs, - looks just like FentonTeenDog down at Del Quay last weekend

Dogs are brill, cats are brill too.

Dogs stink. They have dog breath and disgusting dog farts. They need grooming and walking and training. They jump all over you, scratching you with their claws and getting you dirty. They dig up your garden and leave dog shit all over that needs cleaning. They bark and whine and you have to change your plans for them...'I must get back to let the dog out' etc.
Cats are clean and quiet. Very affectionate also, but like their own space (just like me). My cat takes herself for walks every day via the cat flap. No grooming/training/walking required. You don't have to change your life for them...I could bugger off for days and as long as she had enough biscuits down I don't think mine would care.

[ItsYoniYappy]

Have to say the dog is good for emptying the cat shit out of the litter tray if I don't get it.

She does deter burglar but she also barks when there are none and sends me into a state of alarm instantly.

I wont believe her if we do ever get burgled.

[TheDetective]

Dogs can't sit on fences Fenton. That is cat territory.

[Sparklingbrook]

Ooh the barking. Or the yapping from little yappy type dogs.

[Fenton]

Very good, Detective, you got me there

[HoneyDragon]

Dogs suck

[Hugglepuff]

Sorry to hear about fox shit Honeydragon. My ds jumped in fox shit on way to school - stinky stuff shot straight up to his knees. :(

[Fenton]

HoneyDragon have you photoshopped that Dog? - her EYES are sooo enormous and brown and 'love me, won't you?'

::melts::

[HoneyDragon]

Nope. She's sat on my knee now doing those eyes at me

She had them when we got her

I've never been dry humped by a cat

[LagomOchLyckaSwede]

YABU.

I have dogs and have kittens (their mum died when they were a day old, long story short- friend's car was stolen, six months later was dumped in a bing bag whilst in labour, four kittens, and another two died as well as the mum, now I'm looking after the four survivors).

They are both great. But I love the kittens for the ADORABLE eyes (they are two weeks so their eyes are still blue) and the pinkest of pink noses (they will probably darken with age) and the cute flopping as they try to crawl around and how they purr in a hiss/purr way and they 'cry' after we stop their feeding and sound like a kitten version of a seagull cry. And I love kittens more than puppies, they were WAY cuter than our dogs when they were puppies.

But I love dogs too, obvs. I don't like it when they sick up or fart. Or when my current dog had an infection and was temporarily incontinent and weed...we rushed over but youngest managed to get their first and stank of wee for days. Now has recovered more fully, obviously fine and no accidents, but annoying!

[Lexagon]

YANBU. Cats mean only one thing - cat people.

[LST]

I have both. 3 cats and a collie.

I sway more towards the fish

[TomArchersSausage]

Yabu

Dog breath
Slobber
No finesse
Eat sticks
Eat poo

[EndoplasmicReticulum]

You are all wrong.

Guinea pigs are the best.

[strawberrypenguin]

YABU dogs do not purr and that is one of the best sounds in the world

[SirChenjin]

Actually hamsters and guinea pigs are far better than all of the pets in the world put together. My hamster (well, my DDs hamster technically, but I have secretly claimed her) smells gorgeous - I often pick her up out of her cage when no-one is looking just to have a quick sniff of her

[MostlyLovingLurchers]

YANBU!

[Jan49]

Cats are better than dogs. They meow and purr whereas dogs bark. They have soft fur instead of rough hair. They do their business in the garden and bury it whereas dogs do it in the street where everyone else sees it or treads on it, so dogs rely on having responsible owners whereas cats see to it themselves. They're easier because they take themselves for walks. When your cat loves you, you know you're special, whereas your dog would adore anyone. The sole advantage of a dog is as a burglary deterrent. I'd rather get an alarm.
