Cats vs. Dogs

AprilHare · 12-10-2009, 03:19 AM

This New Scientist article Linky has revealed to me that the ancient argument, Cats vs. Dogs, can finally be answered.
Their final score: CATS 5 - 6 DOGS
Guess the hounds have it?

As my choice wasn't in there, I took the fish and gave it to the cat.

I love both cats and dogs. I have two cats right now and want to get a dog too. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

In the last poll, cats::dogs was 37::42

Oddly enough, that's pretty close to 5::6!

For companionship - dog

For leaving alone over the weekend - cat

For a great stir fry....

Cats for me - I'm just not a dog person, they're just too needy.

kindlekitten · 12-10-2009, 07:57 AM

they are both wonderful and my life is incomplete without either of them!

(what? no horses!?)

No Platypuses either, I'm disapointed.

But I would have to go goggie all the way. I'm just a dog-person.

kindlekitten · 12-10-2009, 08:08 AM

I'm a big time goggie person as well. but there is something about cat cuddling. and as a big dog owner, I'm sure you know that big time cuddling on the couch, in the bed, just doesn't work. my pup will give me a quick little cuddle and then say "later mom, you're just too hot". and just now kindle kitten has curled up between the laptop and me (we are in bed)

Your kidding right?

This is what I have to contend with... Every night!

kindlekitten · 12-10-2009, 08:33 AM

wow! no! none of my Newfies, and I have had 8 now, have been big time bed snugglers. there is evidence that they nap on the beds occasionally, but not co-habitate. I grew up with Schipperkes and Siberians all of whom were total bed hogs, and had an Irish Wolfhound once (boniest elbows in the world!) that made me consider just giving up and moving to the floor

Platypi (not a word but I'm going with it) are timid things that humans rarely see - and they have venom.

Seriously, they have a "spike" on their hind legs that is venomous.

I don't care though, I think they are way cute!

kindlekitten · 12-10-2009, 08:47 AM

I used to think Sloths were cute too. then I found out about their unique physique
