What do you prefer - Dogs or Cats?

The magic of having a cat or dog is the communication you have with them. I grew up liking dogs, all little boys like dogs. It was when I got my first cat that I discovered that they can understand and communicate with people very well if you let them. I have a friend. She has three cats, these cats know me very well. One of the cats kept biting, scratching and kicking me. He was just communicating that he was the boss of the cats and was jealous when I played with the other two cats. Now if I visit my friend. I know that I have to play with the older cat first before I play with the others, When I leave, I have to scratch his cheek and ears for a few minutes, so that he does not get jealous . He has not gotten jealous for over a year since I have been doing this and has not nipped or scratched me recently. Just as you know your cat or dog, you start to anticipate what they are thinking. As they get to know you they anticipate what you are thinking.
Dogs love you. Cats have murder in their hearts. I'm a dog guy through and through.
Come-on guys this is not Rocket Science - You feed them, they love you - Unconditionally, As long as you keep feeding them !!!
Dogs are pack animals. They want to belong and seek leadership. Cats hunt alone.
I sleep with one eye open around cats.

I've had both, but I by far prefer dogs.
Cats are only loyal to you when they want something. With dogs you leave them for a hour and come back home, they behave like they haven't seen you for ages and it makes you feel appreciated.
Hell, my dog always happily greets me no matter what, the wife doesn't even bother to say 'fuck off' to me when I walk through the door.

That is far from the truth. If you become friends with a cat, he will be loyal to you for life.
I am an equal opportunity animal lover. Makes no difference to me.
I know that feeling. Took me 2 years after the death of my last one but just got the new addition.

Great breed!
Deciding to get a dog is like deciding to have a child and I don't want another kid. They're a lot of work to take care of and it's not fair to leave them alone for long periods of time. Cats for the most part are are low maintenance. Provide food, water, a litter box and take off for the weekend without a worry. I love dogs but as far as owning pets, it's cats for me.
Dogs will love you even if you stop. Therein lies the difference.
Humans keeps dogs as pets. Cats keep humans as pets. That's how I look at it.
"Any dog that weighs less than 50lbs is a cat, and cats are useless." - Ron Swanson
Having said that, cats are pretty cute.
Yes they are... I also like that they share many of the same traits as larger felines. Here's some cool footage (and the making of) the fastest land animal.
Rats are great pets very smart and friendly, playful.
Dogs will make you be active by walking and playing with them. More affectionate than cats of course.
