cats INFERIOR to dogs?

<p>Cats are wayyyyyyyyyyy superior !!!
I disagree !!!
:(((</p>

<p>I am definitely a dog person (engaged to a cat person… we’re going to have an interesting household). </p>

<p>It’s not right to trash talk any animal lover. Cats are definitely smarter though. I have had 1 cat, and three big dogs (1 rottie, 2 pits), along with some other stray dogs that we have sheltered. The cat rules them all, always. My pit bull is deathly afraid of cats now (it’s funny).</p>

<p>ambivalent. i like how dogs are really openly affectionate, but they’re also messy and drooly and i don’t think i could handle that for extended periods of time. cats are less intelligent than dogs, but they’re super prissy and elegant and i think they’re cute. haha. but if i were feeling down or something, i think a dog could comfort me and a cat couldn’t.</p>

<p>How the hell did people start thinking cats are evil? WHERE DO YOU GET THIS?</p>

<p>I have 3 cats right now (have had 2 that died about 5 years ago). Two are black and they are so beautiful…and not scary at all.</p>

<p>EVERY god damn time a dog person bashes that cats are evil, arrogant and scratch you. This SERIOUSLY ticks me off. How can you tell a cat is “evil” or “arrogant” just by looking at it? Cats are independent animals. The fact that they don’t want to play all the time just means they’re happy being alone sometimes.</p>

<p>And I’ve never heard of domesticated cats killing people. Dogs definitely can.</p>

<p>And this is such BS about dogs comforting you and that cats cannot. My whole life I’ve been dealing with issues. And every single day one of my cats is there on my bed shortly after I start crying. They’re so peaceful. And they have feelings, too. They’re my best friends. Don’t judge them.</p>

<p>Just don’t. Every time my mom calls me when I’m away at college, she always talks about how my two cats still sleep on my bed, as if they were waiting for me to come back. (And when I came back from Christmas break, they were so happy. It made me cry. It’s making me cry now.)</p>

<p>Therefore, cats are introverts and dogs are extroverts!!! What do you think?</p>

<p>LOL Greenery you’re obsessed.</p>

<p>I LOVE all Cats, especially mine. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You REALLY want to have people HATE your pets and think they’re truly ** EVIL **? Try having pit bulls. They are the most loving, caring dogs I’ve ever encountered and yet people think they are devils. You don’t know hate until you walk around with pit bulls.</p>

<p>I’m hearing a lot of contradictory information being said about the intelligence of cats compared to the intelligence of dogs, can someone knowledgeable please make a scientific statement about this?</p>

<p>There is no way of knowing. We can’t accurately measure the level of intelligence for humans, let alone our furry friends.</p>

<p>Well, I"ll just assume that “IQ” and all of that junk is fairly representable of human intelligence, so is there something similar for cats/dogs?</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>Okay, my assumptions are simply things I connote with a cat. </p>

<p>My evil reasoning comes primarily from their appearance, of which I presume I am specifically referring to the eye. Due to the fact that a cat’s pupils narrow in extreme sunlight, it gives the appearance of no eyes. This lack of eye is typically represented in ghouls or other frightening creatures of that nature. This leads my mind to make the deductions that cats are equatable to evil.</p>

<p>And I admit the “arrogant” comment might have been a bit presumptuous. Animals really aren’t as sophisticated to have such an intricate ego. If anything their intentions are most likely simplistic and such characterizations appear inaccurate.</p>

<p>That’s all I have to say, really. I’d probably prefer dogs only because cat behaviour seems to emulate my own more so than a dog, and I’d prefer a contrast occasionally.</p>

<p>As for the original intent of OP, inferiority is really relative, and measuring as such is impossible, as stated above.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I would feel like most people want a pet that is like themselves.</p>

<p>^ so true.</p>

<p>

Well, I feel as if there is a certain point where you become to introspective and you feel entirely sick of yourself and your personality. You need some entity, which in this case can be an animal, to balance out the extremity of yourself. But I suppose it certainly depends on the person.</p>
