Dogs are totally dependant on their masters and willingly submit to servitude for food. They willing submit to mistreatment and come back wagging their tails as long they are fed.
Cats, while realizing their masters are a necessary evil, prefer independance and would rather be left alone except when they absolutely need their masters for something. Treat them bad and they will attack. Discuss. |

Agree !! Waiting for the dog apologists!! Wolves are free - dogs are slaves! |
|
Think outside the box grasshoper. Not all cats are those furry little speed bumps you see in the road. There are MUCH bigger ones. |
|
|
Dogs are also loyal and useful. Cats generally serve no useful purpose other than to be a pain in the ass to everyone around them.

He is discussing housecats, sensei. |

|
Not true. Smart dogs usually avoid cats after their first encounter. While I'm sure there are cases of dogs eating cats, most times when a dog attacks a cat he gets his nose handed to him all bloody. |
|
|
Cats control rodents and can be quite loyal. Try again. |
|
|
That is certainly true of my old cat... neighborhood German sheperd sniffed him once, got her nose scratched... and both animals went at full speed in opposite directions. ETA: The only thing my cat was not afraid of was small kittens and butterflies, and he never passed up a chance to beat up on either. |

Dogs will also take care of you when sick. Cats are just 'I don't care if your sick, I want food now, its all about me and my needs.'
Dogs, 'Oh, your sick, thats not good. Come, I can forgo eating for today, you rest and I'll keep you warm.' *time passes by and your chest gets exposed to the cold air* Dog: Oh no, he's gonna get sicker! *crawls up and acts like a blanket to keep your pneamonia (sp) from getting worse.* FYI: My dog did that. Knew I was very sick, didn't complain to go out or eat. When the blanket exposed my chest to the cold apartment air, I woke up with his body across my chest keeping me warm. |
|
Not true. A dog can easly make better mouser that your average lazy cat. Cat are only loyal to themselves. |
||
|
Yep. Full on democrat there. |
|
|
I would be impressed if your dog served you breakfast in bed. |
|
|
Exactly! They are not bound by some alpha-male genetic programming to "love" you and be nice, but rather choose to hang out with you. Either that - or they know you are a source of food |
|
|
Gotta respect that, cats are true capitalists. Dogs are obviously socialists, always looking out for the "greater good." |
|
|
Exactly my point!! The dog people are arguing my point! |
||
|
Dogs are republicans, they are just in the "pack" aka the military
They are loyal to family and will fight off threats. A cat will to jack if someone breaks in your house. Dogs are ALWAYS on alert; I've never heard of a watch cat. Besides dogs can hunt with you, drink with you and will do as commanded. A cat is always self centered and doesn't care about anything else just like democraps. |
|
Ass backwards. No cats are Anarchist with Socialist tilt whose sole concern is for themselves and what kind of handout they can get from you. Cats live on welfare. While a Dog will do a honest days work hunting, heading, guarding ect. and not bitch about his reward. |
||
|
Pooby please. Nothing against cats but my dogs would kill one faster than you can say Bobs My uncle. Patty |
||
|
Neo-Fascist dogs, obviously. |
|
|
Well they are GERMAN shorthaired Pointers! Patty |
||
|
Ha! First sensible post here, BUT, your dogs are trained while most pet dogs are not and your dogs would have to be LRRPs to sneak up on or catch my cat. And they are tools of your training, like the demo sheep, while my cat retains her independance and refuses to be trained by her governor. |
|||
|
Tigers are regular cats that use steroids. Barry Bonds is their idle. Discuss. |
||
|
Cats are very French... |
||
|
The mere fact that dogs allow themselve to be trained by their masters proves my point.
Cats just wont do that, their independance is more important to them than approval or a handout. |
|
Pooby hon, my dogs are trained NOT to kill cats. The desire to kill them is inherant. Just last fall I had my dog point a cat and hand retrieve it to me - kicking and flinging its claws every which way. How I wish I had a camera for that! But seriously, Dogs are at the top of the food chain in regards to common house cats. At least most sporting dogs are. Patty |

|
You married or single? |
|
|
That doesnt change the fact I am right. Just because a dog may be tougher, or stronger than a cat doesnt mean he is unwilling to subjugate himself to his master for food. |
|||||
|
Divorced. |
||
|
Cats on the dole… never working a day in their lives. Welfare kitties. If cats were magically transformed in to people you would find them on the corner cleaning windshealds with spit for handouts. |
|
|
dogs have to be housebroken (taught not to shit on the floor), cats mostly use a litter box out of instinct.
Dogs leave big turds in your yard, cats leave little ones but only if they can't bury them |
|
That would be called "working". Oh, and feral cats are all over here in Florida, they survive just fine without humans. |
||
|
Dogs contirbute.
Cats are useless. Therefore Dogs are Republicans and cats are Democrats. |
|
Jeeze does that mean the gerbil I had as a kid was really smart also? He never listened to anything I said .
A cat is more independent because domesticated cats still act on their instincts way more than dogs, and they just aren't as social of a species. It's fact that canines are smarter. Do a little research. It really won't take much to prove yourself wrong. I'm not trying to burst your bubble. |
|
Please show your work. |
|
|
Nah, if my dog was a Democrap, since I'm a White Male with a Gun, he would have left me out in the cold screaming 'Virus killer!' at me and trying to get the ACLU after my ass
|

Why is it dog owners have to limit food? Can't keep the bowl full because the dog will gorge itself.
Cats don't have that problem. Release a cat into the wild, and it will fend for itself. Release a dog into the world, and it will starve to death. Tough guys (and gals) always brag how their 50-80 lb dogs eat 10-20 lb cats. Put a cat and dog that weigh the same in a cage and see who comes out alive... (hint: It won't be the dog) Have you seen the wild cat video of the park rangers releasing it from the back of their pickup truck in Africa? That cat probably only weighed 30-40 lbs. |
|
But in my thread, that would be YOUR job. |
|
|
The mere fact that dogs are CAPABLE of being trained show they are more evolved than cats. You need to look up the word "domestication." Dogs are capable of being trained and learning because they have a greater capacity for intelligence. Cats are not of the same capacity but simply "politically independent" as you suggest. By that token sheep must be Constitutionalists because they can't be trained to do a fucking thing. |
|
|
Face it, not only are cats Democrats, they are welfare recipient Democrats. |
||
|
Meh... I don't really feel like it. I've already had classes that let me know I'm right. It's not really worth the effort to do any real research. The fall semester for Dental School starts tommorow. It's a mere 26hrs of credit. That's enough studying for me thanks. |
||
|
Sorry, but you have no clue of what you are talking about... |
||
|
Pooby there's something to be said about dogs are willing to work while cats are leeches off a working society. Patty
|
|
Dogs are more intelligent than cats. What part don't you get? |
|||
|
Classes? Guess what? You weren't paying attention. You gotta provide some proof other then spouting off about your dental school issues. |
|||
|
I guess that's why dogs will starve in the wild and cats won't. |
|
|
No clue about cats or Constitutionalists? |
