Which would you prefer? Are you a dog or cat person?

Cats, obvs. How would we manage without our feline overlords?

Cats!
They are superior to all other life forms.
They were (rightly) worshipped by the Ancient Egyptians and they haven’t forgotten this.
Look at the evidence
You get to sleep all day
Your food is provided by your slaves on demand
Nobody tries to drag you out for exercise
Or indeed make you perform tricks
You can ignore requests and people think it’s cute
You can shit wherever you like

Ps dogs are basically a hairy lump of meat with halitosis at one end and a wind tunnel at the other

Cats, personally. Bigger picture though, guide dogs, hearing dogs, sniffer dogs etc makes dogs the logical choice.

I'd rather have a mog though.

Cats - of course

Cats are canny.

dreichuplands · 05/04/2019 02:14

I have one of each, I don't think the dogs stand a chance if only one gets to survive.

Dogs.
The logical choice.

FinnegansWhiskers · 05/04/2019 02:15

Dogs - no contest. What good are cats?

Cats. Of course.
They have the ability to be guide cats and sniffer cats etc, they just don't want to! Grin

I like both, but if I had to pick, it would have to be dogs. They're more useful, more soulful, more affectionate-- generally speaking! I know there are wonderful cats and horrible dogs, but a good dog will always be better than a good cat (imho).

EleanorAbernathy · 05/04/2019 02:21

Were have my cats gone? Trying again!

Sorry! Strike out fail - again! 🙄

Greeborising · 05/04/2019 02:38

Ok
Which animal has got the best deal?
Would you rather (apologies for repetition)

A- sleep when and where you chose
Be fed when you feel like it
Kill small furry things (and be praised for it)
Get brushed (cos it feels gooood) by simply padding at your brush and looking directly at your servants

OR

B- Be told when you have to go outside
When you can eat, sleep
When you have to run
Chase balls
Be put in cage
Not allowed on the sofa
Have a chain put around your neck

Dogs serve
Cats rule !😉

KC225 that is a fine cat, check that paw!
