Anytime I see a cat, I have to believe it is within 5 minutes, fore or aft, of either shitting, pissing or vomiting. 

Aww^42 

Title should be "Ditzy cat" 

Awwww, scottish folds are so cute! >_<

Also, Cambot, cats are far superior pets to dogs, but I will not get into a discussion about it because I am lazy, tired, and not really feeling it... 

never get it wet. keep it in the dark. never feed it after midnight. 

Way better cat video, kitteh does not like teh hammer!!

The day you find/teach any cat to fetch you a beer from the 'fridge, play
catch with a frisbee, fetch a ball/stick at the park, swim with you in a lake,
hunt game birds, protect your property with ferocity, attract the attention of
hot babes in bikini's at the beach, and take down criminals, or anything
other than stinking up the house/garage, getting hair all over every inch of the
inside of the house, tearing the furniture apart, just laying around all day long, or
being a stuck up primadonna, I will agree with you 100%. 

Methinks a discussion has just been got into.

I think you just summed up why cats and cat people suck. 

Funny thing is that I don't really like cats but love pussy. 

Cats are much easier pets than dogs. They don't need you, and are barely pets so much as animals that will eat food you give it, but won't kill you because they are too weak. You don't have to teach a cat anything, because they are far, far too dumb to learn much. It's just easy.

But you aren't friends with a cat. They "play" by simulating killing small prey, but it's not playing, that's just genetically determined instinct. They would kill their 'owners' in a heartbeat if they could.

I don't dislike cats. They are wonderful animals, great at killing pests, and beautiful. but they aren't companions. They are more like snakes and spiders... animals that are interesting and worth keeping around if you really really like them, but they don't like you whatsoever. Don't have any interest in your happiness, etc. Mainly because of their lack of intelligence (and this isn't an opinion... cats just don't have brains that are nearly as advanced as a dog's).

If you want your pet to be a friend (and lie all you want, cat owners do wish their cats were their friends to the point where they delude themselves into misinterpreting every purr and meow), then you want something more like a dog.

Dogs are smart, so they get more bored, and can be destructive and impulsive. You have to train them, it's not an option. You have to pay more attention to them, etc. But they do give a shit what happens to you, and will help you if they can. That's pretty nice. 

Cats must die. 

Cats think they are better than you. I don't think they're dumb, I think they actually believe humans are lesser lifeforms and they just can't waste their time on you--until they need something.

They are whorish gold diggers. You are completely ignored until they need something, then they purr and sensually rub their body up against your leg like a little cocksucking 21 yr old who marries a rich 80 year old, and she needs 900 dollars for a fucking purse.

Cats do NOT care about you. Ever smash the shit out of your shin on the coffee table and fall over on the ground whimpering in pain? The dog will run straight to you with its tail between its legs and lick you to try and cheer you up. Cats just look you like you're a fuck twat and then claw the shit of your clothes because it makes them feel good.

To a dog, you are the coolest thing in the world. To a cat, you're their fucking servant.

I hate cats. 

it's a CAT. Get over it.

/truth 

I've always said that if you stop feeding your cat, it'll find a way to ditch your ass and go out to find food on its own.

Whereas a dog who has bonded with you will starve to death right at your side, and not leave. 

I wonder how many people with opinions have never had a cat/dog or both and are basing opinions on other people's pets or worse yet, hearsay.

Having raised 2 kitties (Mambo + Samba) and a husky pup (Boogie) at the same time here are some of my observations.
1. I could raise probably 6 kittens with the effort it takes to care for my dog.
2. I love my dog infinitely more than I love my cats. If they both got terminal X-disease tomorrow I'd be bummed, but if something happend to Boogie I'd be crushed.
3. This doesn't apply to all dogs, but Boogie is way cleaner than the cats. He sheds more but has no breath or body odor. Cats use litter. ick, nuff said.
4. The cats are beyond begging. They have to be put away when people eat because they have no self control and will pester you continuously if they smell people food. Dogs can be trained to obey and know their place in the house.
5. Kitties are more therapeutic to cuddle with if you've had a rough day.
6. Avoiding generalizations, Boogie is far smarter than mambo or samba combined. My cats are pretty much incapable of learning anything beyond their names and the sound of pouring kibble.

Here's my two cents, and it's the best argument ever and it's going to blow everyone out'f the water: Cats and dogs have the same intellect, it's just the attitude that usually varies ; cats have a more independent attitude while dogs tend to me more clingy, more dependent.

There, it's settled, we're all equals.

I present to you a better arguement. Bigger head = bigger brain. Bigger the head, the bigger the smarts.

Stegosaurus. 

Bigger head... bigger brain... bigger smarts....

OMFG whales are s00per genius 

Dogs are stinky and dogs are noisy. Cats are not. Cats win. 

My cat's right here and wants to know if anyone has any chicken.

Our dog has been asleep for hours.

/game over 

Can we just accept the fact that animals were not put on this Earth solely for our pleasure, and find it in our hearts to excuse cats if they don't worship the ground we walk on? Some people have a cat-friendly lifestyle/personality, some have a dog-friendly one. Some have a fish-friendly one. Let's all just get along and accept that someone's lifestyle choices (and their resulting pet choices) may not be exactly in keeping with our own. 

Both cats and dogs are made of meat, and are equally tastey.

Right, because a Great Dane is obviously soooo much smarter than a Dachshund.

I like the fact that I can throw my cat outside when he pisses me off and he's able to take care of himself. He did survive Katrina, after all. Try that with a dog. 

My one cat plays fetch with fur mice and pieces of paper. The other won't bring it back, but plays along. The former is my wife's and the latter is mine. If I'm gone for longer than a few hours he sits in my desk chair and waits, doesn't eat, and cries at night. When I go in the yard, he follows me. He also likes to "play" with dogs, chasing them, swatting at them, etc. He is a pain around human food, but that's because I've fed him human food. I'm a sucker.

I've had both cats and dogs, and several other types of pets. Both are like mentally challenged kids. As well as being generally challenged, cats are more autistic - they're not good with changes in their surroundings and have their own peculiar traits. Dogs are just generally challenged. Both are better than gerbils, hermit crabs, spiders, and snakes.

You have rabbits as pets, don't you? That's the kind of pussified "let's all just get along" talk I'd expect from a bunny-owner. 

Ford!

Chevy! 

Mac!

PC!

Sony!

Nintendo! 

Whatever. Cats and dogs are the same.... they all taste like chicken 

Please do not turn this place into Youtube! Links to Youtube videos: fine. But the fucking discussions! No no no no! 

I'm for cats, but theres no denying a well trained dog would make a better companion. Problem is people are so busy nowadays, they buy a dog and just throw him outside when they don't want to deal with him. I walk by houses for a living and I'd say only 10 percent of dogs are "good." The kitty litter argument should not be used in defending dogs as the better pet. 

dogs are all good, but they are like having children, you really have to take care of them constantly or they will die on you, and the only reason they dont just poop everywhere and eat all of your belongings is becasue you have scared them into pooping outside and not chewing your shit, or you have paid someone to do it for you, they
"show affection" or whatevr you might call it and be excited to see you, but that only happened becasue you feed it everyday, it doesnt really like YOU, just the idea of you being the thing that keeps it fed

cats are more like having an annoying roomate that will eat leftovers left in a bowl on the floor, andf then scratch your expensive ass furniture, the only redeeming quality is that you can leave them 4 bowls of food and and water and leave for weeks without coming home to a dead cat, your dog however would eat all the food at once and be dead by day 4 or 5 depending on how much couch it ate

i have a snake
it kills things that i put in its tank
i know it doesnt "like" me
but I also know it doesnt not like me
otherwise it would probably bite me
and i would have to make a belt

but most importantly it doesnt give me any false indications of animal love and affection that people recieve becasue their animal is dependant on them for life, thusly i could make a belt out of my snake and buy another snake and not feel to bad about it, possiblt spend a few more years growing another belt, peoples lives get really fucked when the family pet gets sick, an animal that only pretends to like you gets cried over and days of work missed and thousands spent on medical bills, might as well have children 

ok, this one made me LOL

Successful troll. 

Bad subby! That was neither dizzy, nor a cat. 

Holy crap that is cute. My head just imploded. 

Take a baby cat, put him in a snowstorm. He'll try to find shelter.

Then take a baby dog and put him in a snowstorm. He'll try to find shelter too.

Then take a baby human and put him in a snowstorm and he'll fucking die.

Ergo, baby humans are stupid.

coooooo 

Girl thread! 

Reminds me so much of what my cat was like before he became a giant lump 

holy cow that's a really fucking cute kitty 

Cats are good for people who don't have time to look after a dog. Cat's are fairly self sufficient.

Dogs are good for people who have the time to train and look after a Dog.

I don't know why there is such a divide between dog and cat people. I like them both. But I would much rather have a monkey. 

Can we all at least agree that people who have chinchillas as pets generally have very poor judgment?

On the contrary, and abused / starved dog will still guard its owner. It may not be love, but there is a bond that forms between a dog and it's owner (alpha). 

Sea Monkeys FTW. You don't have to do shit. And deep down, you know they love you. 

I liek mudkipz better.
