Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Actually it's cigars and gay porn...

LMAO!

Playing fetch the stick with Fido vs watching Tabby sleep.

Taking a walk along the beach with Rover vs watching Mr Mustofolees eat.

Frisbee vs fur ball.

blind devotion vs calculating sneak.

lifelong pal vs household fixture.

Dog vs Cat.

No contest.

> Playing fetch the stick with Fido vs...

Playing try to avoid having your toes impaled by razor-sharp talons under the blanket. A little more challenging and entertaining than throw the stick--bring it back. Throw the stick again--bring it back. Throw the stick over there this time--bring it back.

> Taking a walk along the beach with Rover vs...

Walking your Siamese in Big Bear while the bluejays dive-bomb him, shrieking at the tops of their lungs. In all honesty, I think I enjoyed it much more than the cat did.

> Frisbee vs fur ball.

I prefer playing Frisbee with someone who can throw it. (Throw the frisbee, bring it back. Yawn.)

> blind devotion vs calculating sneak.

Oh, puhleeze! Did you *just* get a dog??? Dogs are just as sneaky and opportunistic as cats. Cats are just better at it.

> lifelong pal vs household fixture.

Don't get that one at all. Have you *ever* owned a cat??

> Dog vs Cat. No contest.

Interesting, considering that cats surpassed dogs as the pet of choice in America quite a few years ago.

I like both dogs and cats, but cats are definitely more intelligent overall than dogs...Cigarick made some great points...Dogs are generally subservient and really aren't very bright (except for some choice breeds such as German Shepherds (which IMHO are the most intelligent breed...I grew up with them...Excellent dogs!)...Cats seem aloof and snobbish and seem more independent, but it's not correct...If the wif and I are in one room and we walk to another room, our cat (siamese) just HAS to be with us...She'll follow us anywhere we go in the house, she's very lovable, sleeps on me every day (I work mids) and (especially when she's hungry) climbs on my chest when I'm sitting or lying down on the couch and lays down on her side or her back in my arms and rubs her head into my face...If that's not lovable, I don't know what is....Dogs are also great but there's a lot of them that just aren't very smart (Old English Sheepdogs come to mind...Extremely stupid animals...I used to have a couple)...Whether you have a dog or cat, I believe that the key to having a great pet is how they are raised from a pup or kitten

I have two cats and a dog. They are completely different creatures. Dogs are clingy and needy, always hanging around desperately waiting for attention. Cats have things that they are doing, scheming and planning and such. They come into a room, see you, come over to say hi and hang for a while, then go back to their business. You pose a problem to a dog, their answer is to pounce on it, and hopefully solve it with drool. You pose a problem to a cat, you can see the cat think about it, work a couple of solutions, then execute the one that works. Make no mistake, I love my dog, but if I could train my cats to hunt pheasants, the dog would come down with a sudden case of fatal lead poisoning.

I'm sure your cats would LOVE an opportunity to hunt pheasant! Siamese are the best--more personality than any other three breeds together. In truth, I like dogs, too. Owned a couple over the years. They're great fun, especially because they are kind of dopey. Nothing funnier than tossing a handful of kibble across a tile floor and watching your dog try to take off in 20 directions at once! We lean toward cats because they're smaller, quieter, and cleaner. I just like to argue . . .

Dont mean to thread jack.... but..

I like my Pig.

MUCH smarter than dogs or cats!

Blaaat!

the whole topic of how smart different animals actually are is a bit spooky in some ways ...

Koko the gorilla who was part of a test at Stanford for many years could "speak" in sign language and had a vocabulary of more than 500 words ... and when she had no word to express her thoughts, would combine words she did have in order to communicate ...

Koko had a pet cat ... and cried when the cat died

Do a search on "Alex the African Grey parrot". He's one amazing bird. He even does math!

If you want a smart pet, get the chicken that plays tic-tac-toe.

I'm sure it's on EBay as we speak.

Look, I'm not saying cats aren't worth something.....

PULL!!!!!!!!

I'm sure, if I have a few moments, I can mention something that makes them worthwhile......

PULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's just that compared to the two, they're not on the same level.

PULL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick, you're so full of crap when you think all dogs are are mindless, bouncy pieces of fluff who are loyal to only those who feed it.

DOUBLE PULL!!!!!!

Please stop being surreptitous in your sniping about dogs. Again, my golden retriever is quite smart. Not mindlessly trained, but smart.

PULL!!!!! PULL!!!!!! PULL!!!!!!

Besides, dogs can go bring back the dead bodies of all those cats I use for target practice.

May Bast pee in your slippers!
