Top Ten Reasons Why Cats and Dogs Are Awesome

Here are the reasons why both Dogs and Cats are the best pets ever.
The Top Ten
1 They Both Are So Playful

Dogs are like best friends but an animal.

Yes they are

Not true. Cats are lazy and boring. They just sleep, then eat, sleep, than eat, etc. Dogs are very playful and love taking walks.

They just about want to play with you every day. They want to play just about anything that they would never want to stop.

2 They Both Are Funny

Yep, with the millions of cat and dog videos online. When my calico was just a kitten, we put her onto the ledge of the T.V. and she jumped onto my brother's head. And I find it funny when my 2 year Pit Bull jumps into the lake behind our house, trying to catch fish. And then he shakes his fur and I pretend to be really mad with him. My cousin's chihuahua likes to beg for food by sitting pretty, and then we push him over. We watched these 2 dogs, Toby, a little Pomeranian, and Sammie, a mix breed. Sammie would always be like a giant to Toby and he would go running into someone! Both are equally hilarious.

Whoever said Cats are more funny: Please don't take sides. That's what the separate lists are for. This is about equality.

I believe cats are more funny cause I watch funny cats on YouTube and they make me laugh like hell.

A dog could jump on you and dance while a cat can go Yowr because he or she wants to play with you too.

3 They Both Are Really Friendly

It's true. Dogs licks you and cats purr at you.

Dogs can be slobbery when they are friendly.

4 They Both Want To Sleep With You

I have a cat named Cortez (not to be confused that there are lots of English speakers in New Mexico) that sleeps with me every night. It's awesome.

My cat Domino, he loves to sleep with me, even if my room is a mess.

I love it when my cat comes and sleeps with me.

5 They Both Want To Eat Rodents and Bugs

Dogs don't do it at all. In my opinion, I think dogs are better. The main reason is that they DO NOT kill rodents and bugs. Cats bring it inside which I think is disgusting. Dogs are domesticated and do not do it like they did a long time ago.

Mostly cats though, they can chase and kill mice, bugs, and insects around the house while dogs just stare at the bugs and bark.

6 They Both Have Saved Peoples' Lives

Cats and dogs work together as a team to me. Cats save people's lives mentally, if you suffer from depression or anxiety, having a cat will reduce your stress, as they are calming and quiet, but at the same time, as loyal as a dog. Dogs save people's lives physically, like if you are about to be attacked, having a dog will help your safety, as they are loyal and protective. Personally, being more into cats, I find cats and dogs to be very, very useful animals.

Cats and dogs are both amazing animals. They have saved peoples' lives countless times. Dogs have rescued those trapped in a burning building. They have saved many from thefts and burglaries. Dogs have provided support and trust to those working through hard things. A cat actually sensed a flood coming and woke the owner up, just as the water struck. They all got away safely. Cats have fought off vicious or attacking dogs. A cat once rescued her kittens from a house that was on fire. As I said with dogs, they are also there for you in your time of need. I admire and respect these awesome creatures.

The dog that attacked the kid wasn't a pug. It was a neighbor's lab-chow mix. Please do your research. Not hating or anything but I'm just suggesting.

Have you seen the cat scare away the pug that tried to attack a kid

7 They Both Listen To You

Cats can be trained surprisingly easily, I've trained my six-year-old domestic shorthair to sit on command, give a high five, and jump through a hoop! He always loves his training sessions. Teaching a cat tricks like this is a great way to bond. Recently, cat agility is on the rise, where people train their cats to complete a course with stairs, hurdles, a tunnel, and weave poles. See my list of "Best Agility Cat Breeds" for more information.

Mostly dogs though, when you say SIT, they sit. But if you do it with a cat, they sometimes do what you say.

Cats have a mind of their own. That is what my dad always says!

A cat will listen to you if you train them. Same as a dog.

8 They Both Curl Up On Your Lap

Once a dog sat on my arm because he was scared of something that someone was doing

So cute but they never wanna get off LOL

I prefer a cat to sit on my lap.

I love this part of them!

9 They Both Are Fast Runners

The fastest car breed is the Egyptian Mau, with its muscular legs and cheetah-like build, they can run over 30 mph. See my list of "most energetic cat breeds".

They both run at about 5-10 mph.

10 They Hide Easily

If you ever chase after them, they will find a good hiding spot to be safe.

The Contenders
11 Both Are The Best

They just love you forever.

12 They are Both There for You
13 They Both Have Lots of Fans
14 Both Are Loyal And Faithful

Cats can just be as faithful and loyal as dogs can. People who say that cats are mean and distrust you never did their research or even met a cat!
