What pet do you think is better?

Question

Would a dog make a better pet than a cat?

why?

Answer 1

I think there is more reward in having a dog.

Cats are self sufficient, dont care if you pat them or not as long as you give them dinner, and then go back to ignoring you after they have finished, Ignore you when they feel like it. Think you are their slave.

Dogs are always happy to see you, think you are the bees knees, think your god for summoning food, give heaps of hugs, licks and attention. Thinks your are their master.

Answer 2

All cats should be neutered and kept indoors.

Just a little exert about our problem with cats in Australia:

"There is clear evidence that feral cats have had a heavy

impact on island fauna. On Macquarie Island, for

example, feral cats caused the extinction of a subspecies

of the red-fronted parakeet. On the mainland, they

have probably contributed to the extinction of many

small to medium sized mammals and ground-nesting

birds in the arid zone, and seriously affected bilby, mala

and numbat populations. In some instances, feral cats

have directly threatened the success of recovery

programs for endangered species.

Feral cats carry infectious diseases such as toxoplasmosis

and sarcosporidiosis, which can be transmitted to native

animals, domestic livestock and humans. If rabies were

to be accidentally introduced into Australia, there is a high

risk that feral cats would act as carriers of the disease."

Please get a dog. They are loyal, smart & protective.

Answer 7

Answer 8

If you want a pet that will snuggle up with you, stay inside lounging about all day and  that you can have in your lap everytime you sit on the couch, a cat is your answer.

If you want a pet that you can run around with, take with you and just generally be your best friend, a dog would be ideal.

I love both and I have both so whatever floats your boat!

Answer 9

Definitely.

Dogs are responsive. active, loyal.

Come when called.

Protect the house.

Some breeds don't lose hair (big plus for inside pets).

They don't leave the house and get knocked up and harass neighbours.

However they are a lot of work.  You need the time to train them and be their companion - If you have the time, they are the perfect pet.

Answer 10

It all depends on the person.

Dogs are more emotionally shallow, you don't have to work to win their love.  I guess you could say they are easy, not very complex but loyal.

Where as cats are more devine creatures.  You have to EARN their love, and when you do you receive lots of purrs and smootches.

Dogs are more like a slave where you tell them what to do and they do it.

Cats are like another person, you ask them to do it and they will only do it if they want to.

Personally, I like cats better, only because they have more personality and aren't pushovers.

Answer 11

I personally think Dogs are better. Dog beaches, Dog parks, Dog friendly resteraunts. Driving with the windows down and fido lettin his tounge flap in the wind, lol.wagging tails, learning tricks, the feeling of being protected when your home alone.. even if your dog would just l**k them to death.  

Answer 12

Well, They both take alot of resposibility. But cats live longer. You see a dog u need to potty train, walk it, bathe it, and feed it and give it fresh water, and mostly attention.

But a cat is another story. They live long, you need to scoop out their litter box, and sometimes u need to litter train them, and give them food and fresh water everyday, and give it love.

I really think a cat is easier, and better, because you can live with it when you move out too, because they live long!

Answer 13

It depends on what type of person you are, if your a couch potato that likes to be calm and watch tv all day then a cat would be better for you because there calm and love to cuddle but if your an energetic type of person who loves to sweat and play then a playful and active dog is the best for you ! (i myself have a very energetic and crazy jack russell terrier)

Answer 14

It depends on who you are. Some people like cats more than dogs. I, however, like dogs more. I find that you can play with them more than a cat. That is just my opinion though.

Answer 15

well i would say a dog not all dogs are aggressive depends how you treat them i say a dog they are active fun cute and you could train them

Answer 16

I personally like dogs more because you can teach them tricks, and relax with them when they get tired, but cats are nice to have sitting on your lap. It really depends on what type of person you are, weather you prefer quiet ones or energetic ones. :)

Answer 17

i think a dog because they are more active and more fun then a cat. a cat can destroy everything with their claws.
