BS: Cats or dogs?

Subject: BS: Cats or dogs?
From: Greengal

A man adopts a dog. He feeds it, gives it shelter, takes care of it when it's sick, and gives it toys and love and care. The dog looks at the man and thinks:
" You feed me, care for me, give me shelter and toys and love- Wow -you must be God."


Man adopts a cat. He feeds it, gives it shelter, takes care of it when it's sick and gives it toys and love and care. Cat looks at the man and thinks:

"You feed me, care for me, give me shelter and toys and love - whew -
I must be God. "


SO who do you vote for? Cats or dogs?

score one for the cats for me ;-)

One for the cats? Because they treat you like a servant? I've heard of that.

I like em both. Then again, the cats I had were trained properly. Almost as well as a dog.

Cats for me, although I love all animals. We have a visiting cat who is a real fraud and has everybody on their toes. You have got to admire them.

After years of looking after a family including numerous pets I'm trying to take a leaf out of a cats' book now and be SELFISH.

I've generally done better as a cat owner than a dog owner, because cats only require that you feed them. Dogs need training, and a lot more attention.

I have enought trouble giving enough attention to the human beings in my life; can't be too bothered with animals.

Cat vote here. However, that being said, my daughter and son-in-law have a beautifully trained dog (Labrador and Greyhound combo)who obeys all commands.
   We have a huge (18-pound) cat who would not eat meat if you left it on the table or floor.She eats only dry cat food period.However, she does enjoy nibbling on plants of certain kinds (Spider plant, for example).She is very gentle and affectionate.
   The convenient thing about a cat is that they can be left at home alone with water, food, and access to the litter box, a dog, not so simple.Final word, they're both adorable.

I have two of each, and have to admit that when the old cats are gone I'm not planning to replace them. I like them, but I'm really tired of the daily barfing of fur balls (yes, we've tried many things and diets to prevent this) and the occasional dispute that ends up with someone peeing on things in corners and by the time the source of the smell is located it is too late to rescue whatever was peed on.

My dogs are outside dogs who come in rarely and briefly. That's fine for both of us--they love having the run of the yard and when the cats are gone (the dogs are much younger than the cats) they might spend more time in. But generally, I think this is the way I want it to play out. The dogs are a joy and are really glad to see me. Half of the time the cat's couldn't care less, unless they're hungry. The rest of the time they're sleeping.

Don't tell my kids I said this--they prefer the cats.

I have had both cats and dogs and both are good in their own way, but for me dogs win.

I recently lost my Greyhound [a rescue] after she developed a bone tumor in her shoulder.

I had been talking to members of an animal charity in the village and the day after ending the poor dogs pain I was asked if I could foster a starved Whippet.

I did foster her and a poor starved, insecure,8 to 10 year old reject from a puppy mill came into my life. She had been found dumped on a South Wales mountain in a pitiful state, she was not house trained and seemed to have been kept in a shed.

With love and kindness she has been transformed.

I have just fostered a Rottie pup for 6 days that again was dumped in acardboard box near Cardiff that has just left for her new home today.

I urge anyone looking for an animal to contact the local animal charities and also to get your animals spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted pups, kittens, etc, it also helps protect against cancers.

I think it may be to do with nurture, I was raised with cats, I know and like them, they make sense to me. I have been bitten, scratched, ignored and peed-upon by cats, but they are still OK. Hamsters are a different matter, though we had them as well.

Dogs, however, are (aparently) easy to read, loyal, friendly, and useful. Most that I have met have been eager to be nice, and none has done a thing to me even when I fell on it without warning...so how come that even a little one scares me shitless?

I know I shouldn't, but cats get my vote.

Ceryn is a doll, Dave! What a cutie and goodonya for taking in the whippet and condolences on your loss. You are not alone. Many Mudcatters have started threads when one of their beloved companions journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge.

I was raised with both, but seem to have more of an affinity with cats. Love our McNab border collie who is getting long in the tooth/teeth(?). We have been sort of looking for a young one for him to bring up and to keep him company.

For the first time in my adult life I am down to two cats! I would have one more, but one of them is a bully, so it'll be the two of them until that changes. They are both lovely darlings and I couldn't live without cats. I'll post a link to pix later. They're calling me to bed, right now!:-)

For my beloved and me, a house isn't a home without at least one cat. Currently we have two, who you'd think were litter-sisters, but they ain't.

Let me introduce Maisie, who is white and tortie, and Smutts, who is tortie and white. Our old cat, Shelley (a full tortoiseSHELL - geddit ?) died a week before her 20th birthday. We cried for a fortnight, and then went to the rescue to find our two present sussy cats.

Cats for me too. I'm down to one cat now. Little One just turned 19 years at the beginning of May. I had to have her sister/litter-mate Molly put to sleep last month-- she'd gotten very frail and sick.

Once this one's gone, I don't think I'll get any more animals. I hadn't expected it to be a lifetime commitment when I adopted these guys. I don't expect to have 20 more years left myself.

And besides, I have a lot of pent-up travelling to get out of my system before I consider any more pets.

We only have cats. I like dogs well enough and have had them in the past, but our current lifestyle isn't conducive to dog ownership. We're away from home at art fairs about half the weekends of the year. It's easy to leave a few days' worth of dry food out for a couple of cats, but dogs would require arranging for someone to feed them while we're gone. That would be easy enough if our neighbors were great friends, but we seldom even see each other. A fair number of artists travel with small dogs like Yorkies and miniature dachshunds, but they travel in self-contained RVs. We only have a cargo van and I'm not leaving a dog in it all day long.

Here is a recent shot of my two pooches.

Both "rescue" dogs; the Am Staff Terrier (Cinnamon) wandered up the driveway injured; we advertised, but no one called to claim an injured dog. The catahoula (Poppy) came from the Humane Society a few months later to be a companion. She was a life-saver--the pit was desperate for company and they are inseparable.

They look rather neutrally dignified in this photo; they were doing what I'd asked them to do ("Down! Stay!") but they were calculating when I was next going to ask them to do something that would entail a food reward.

I am the family dog-sitter for my sister's pugs (Max and Owen) and every so often I stay with Dad's lab, Seamus, so I do get my dog fix. I love weekend roadtrips and I work really weird hours, though so a dog is not a good fit in my house right now.

SRS, he's 4 years old, 3/4 border collie and 1/4 rough collie, a real nice tempered dog. He has this habit of curling his lip either on one side as in the pic, which gives him that Elvis kinda snarl or both sides at once. He looks quite different in the summer as my wife cuts his coat for the heat as well as matting since he likes the water.

Liz the Squeak - "A cat keeps your home free of rodents, spiders and milk spills, whilst performing a stimulating and decorative function as a throw pillow."

LOL, Liz. And I love that "throw pillow" line. Cats also serve as vibrating hot water bottles.
(I have yet to meet a dog that can purr.) Plus they perform all sorts of entertaining acrobat and clown tricks, usually with no training whatsoever.

This is not to diss dogs. They have their value, too, as mentioned above. However, they are much higher-maintenance companions (including often smelling really foul unless bathed regularly by their humans), and this makes them less suitable as animal companions for many people.   Having a dog is a bit like having a kindergarten-age kid.   They may not be all that destructive to your house and home, but they cannot be left long on their own, for their own safety and health.   Cats, on the other hand, are more like teenagers.   Much more independent and less likely to starve, mope, or need help with their daily routine - but also more likely to trash the furniture when you're not there.

Companion? The cat doesn't care if you live or die. They are egotistical parasites. Like celebrities, or politicians. Or poorly raised teenagers.

The cat litter I use (or I guess I should say "my cat uses") is made from pine pellets and hardly ever smells.   All you need to do is remove the turds every few days. When the pellets have finally become mostly sawdust consistency, it makes a gread garden mulch.

I'm reminded by some posts of a moment when a 5 year old child entered a classroom where there was a cage containing two chinchillas. Child stopped dead in his tracks, pointed at the chinchillas and said "What's THAT?"   I told him it was two chinchillas. He sniffed. "What are they FOR?" he asked. "What are YOU for?" I asked him. He seemed to take this on board.

I don't think dogs or cats are FOR anything - they just are. And we choose to love them. Or not. Unless we live on a farm and need working animals, in which case both species prove their worth in different ways. Otherwise, if they're of practical use that's a bonus.

And our cat doesn't smell, nor does her litter tray. Although she can fart for Wales (but then so can many humans - and dogs - I can think of). She is, however, a little bundle of love and definitely misses us when we're not around - not just to open the food packets.

Becca's right.
Case in point, two of my neighbor homes across the street each have two large black dogs (probably lab-rottweiler or lab-doberman mixes) who will 'guard' their yards ferociously -- vociferously, at least -- whenever anyone approaches. (I park in the carport in between the two houses sometimes.) They are so loud and vicious sounding that for a long time I was afraid to even dare getting within biting range.
After a while I noticed things like wagging tails and even, in the biggest dog's mouth, a chewed up tennis ball, as the growling and jumping continued.   The worst thing these guard dogs would probably do would be to lick an intruder to death.

The presence of a dog in the house is usually a deterent. If someone does try to break in, the dog will bark, alert the household and (often) scare off the intruder.

Several homes in my neighborhood were broken into a few years back. None had dogs in the house.

Michael Morris, (or anyone else), When we lived in L.A. for a while, I got three dogs to protect the house, and studio(separate building than the house). To get to the studio's only door, or to our back door, one would have to go in the back gate, and through the back yard, where the dogs usually hung out. For the entire time we lived there, ours was the ONLY house that wasn't burgled! ..and this was in a 'pretty good' neighborhood. L.A. sucks! Thank God I'm out of that armpit of America!

And it's just a coincidence that I presently live in LA county . . . .

Seamus only barks when there's food or his leash involved... when you walk into the mudroom he's standing on the other side of the door wiggling all over. :-)

That's because he knows you. I imagine it would be a different scenario if someone tried to sneak in through a window, or picked the lock on the door at 2:15 in the morning.
