Top Ten Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats

I believe that they are both equally as good! However I disagree with the people who say that cats do not help out the community! CLEARLY THEY DID NOT DO THEIR RESEARCH! Some people say that there is no such thing as a service cat, and they are right, but cats do help people, in so many ways! For example, kitties can help out people with autism, and despite what other people say, cats are quite comforting, I have a cat and her name is Symba, whenever I am stressed out she comes to me a brightens my mood! In fact, when we got Symba, my family was going through some hard times, however, she had a positive impact in us ALL! Kitties also had a positive impact during Medieval times, to be more specific they helped during some plagues. In case you did not know, some plagues were spread around by rats and birds, in fact most of them were, and cats prey on rats and birds! Therefore, because of cats many peoples lives were spared! And even today some cats are helping out with diseases! For ...more

Dogs suck.

I personally love both. I've grown around both dogs and cats and have grown a equal love for them. My dad and my step mother have 1 cat and 2 dogs and my mom has 1 cat.

They're equally great but dogs are a bit better

I actually have 5 cats

Yeah

Dog see you attack I save you
Cat see you Attack well nice knowing

Dogs do protect more than cats, but sometimes cats can protect you.

So do cats they just don't show. Now do not get me wrong I love both dogs and cats. Cats love you but you have to earn it a dog just loves you at first sight.

YES!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZED THIS DOGS ARE SO SO MUCH MORE AFFECTIONATE THAN CATS! CATS don't CARE ABOUT YOU!

YES!

Although there are SOME (but very few) good and affectionate cats, most are just husks. Dogs, on the other hand, will fight for you. If they see that you are sad, they will comfort you. And they have their own personalities as well, unless cats, which all act the same.

The tests say that dogs are actually smarter than cats. But if you really think about it, cats are way smarter

That's acually true - Gingerbobo

They say in cartoons that cats are smarter, but if you ask me dogs are smarter. - nintendofan126

There was a cat that sniffed out illegal fish smugglers. (I'm not joking look it up) What I'm saying is that they each have their own uses. And smarter is different in people mind. Survival smartness? if you threw a domesticated cat and dog out in the wild, the cat would be perfectly fine, the dog? He might go look for some people or die. And pulling a sled is NOT a talent.

There is no such thing as a bad cat- only a bad owner. Cats are abused as much as dogs are and the negative thought about cats only makes it worse. Give cats a chance; no matter how "boring", "lazy", "dumb" or "mean" you think they are.

I agree with this. My dog was abused for a year before we got her. If we had her first she would not have anxiety or any other problems. - Gravityfallsfan11

Same with cats - RoseWeasley

Yes I believe everything on this list is true

Yes I've heard a lot of stories about dogs saving people's lives but I have never ever heard of a cat saving someone's life

Then... It's a watchdog! The one outside the home. - Animefan12

When you have a guard dog no one will come near your yard

Have you seen a cat saving someone's life? No.

Well some dogs want too much attention. - Userguy44

So do cats. Different cat breeds have different personalities, most cats love to play with their owner or human, like the Abyssinian cat or Somali. - LemonadeOcean

I love both

Cats just hunt. Dogs help the blind, sniff out drugs and bombs, get papers, and a million more ways.

I like this opinion

What if they gave cats a chance - Nateawesomeness

I came to this top tens discussion because I want to show all these people that love dogs and hate cats about why cats are actually way better than dogs and that when it comes to a cat, a dogs is useless. Cats are the most popular pet in the U.S. and there are many big reasons. Also, its more fun to play with a cat than a dog. Also, cats are more lovable and cats are cuter. When comparing a dog to a cat, dogs are just stupid. Like seriously, cats are so much better! Why can't anyone see that? All these people...they just don't understand how cats are just the best and dogs are just...ya you know...dogs are just bad when it comes to cats.

Yes! Cats are lousy creatures.

Cats are lazy and boring to have. You have nothing to do with them. They just hunt which I don't exactly like. You don't want to see a dead rat in your house, don't you? Dogs like to play around, go outside, and all stuff like that.

Cats just... sit around. Dogs, on the other hand, play fetch, can be trained to play Hide and Seek, and they actually get along with other Dogs, unlike Cats with other Cats!

People, I submitted this list when I was new to the site..So I actually made this list for the sake of making one...No real opinions or thoughts, it was merely an impulse action.
Don't take it seriously..
Both cats and dogs are EQUALLY great in EVERY way, I mean it.
We all are creations of nature...and we're same..our values are same.. - Ananya

I honestly think tarantulas are cuter :3

This is an opinion and not a fact. Both can be cute. - Userguy44

Yup way cuter - ShebaDaDog

So friendly not like hissy cats

I had a cat and he was a good friend too. - Userguy44

And ladies! - DaringXx

Yeah, man and dog are like Ash Ketchum and Pikachu - Animefan12

Yeah, just like in a dogs purpose

Um, untrue in somecases! There were these people renting out cabins, and a dam had flooded or something, and the water was raging toward the homes. Their cat swatted the owner's face until he woke up, and he, his wife, and all the guests got out safely just as water wiped out the cabins. There was another case where a mother cat leapt into a burning building to save her kittens, and got out alive with them. She was badly burned, but survived. I'm not saying that dogs aren't awesomely heroic, they totally ARE, I just thought I'd share. -Cat lover

Agreed. If you see the cats list it is so inaccurate. Cause most of the cats didn't save lives as heroic as dogs. Cause dogs can call for help and pull you out of the fire if fallen. I think...:

Actually dogs always run away - pouria_mt

They don't always but sometimes I think if you have very good relationship with your dog (not just by pampering it but by playing with it and hiking with it and so on..) though I don't think all dogs would risk their lives for you. I think it depends on the dog and it depends on the owner. I'm not saying cats never save people from fires, but I think that while only 1 out of 100 cats would save their owners, dogs would save their owners like 60 out of 100. - ShebaDaDog

So can cats. - RoseWeasley

I can't even list half of them here. - Pokemonfan10

So do cats. - BlueberryCatfish

True.

THAT IS BAD BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL BREEDING DOGS TO DEATH AND YOU THINK IT IS A GOOD REASON? SO BE IT!

Dogs are very helpful!

When was the last time you heard of a security cat? Or a service cat? - Randomator

Yes lol blind man walking with garfield looking cat down street while cat bites and scratches and yells for being on guide harness. - ShebaDaDog

That's true. And they enjoy it.

Not true at all, its cats that can navigate themselves around a neighbor hood. And dogs just run away and you sometimes never see them again. - BlueberryCatfish

OF Course they are! Who is with me?

I love dogs, they are so lovely

Yeah, it's true!

I love dogs

Uh-huh! That's true! I talk to Dogs and I can tell they're listening.

I think it's cute when dogs tilt there head. ^_^ - nintendofan126

Dopfui, Some Dogs don't roll in there poo and my Cat Midnight rolls in her poo all the time. - Gingerbobo

Dogs don't eat their hair. And they don't lock themselves all over, covering themselves in their own saliva.

Yeah, dogs are hygienically better than cats - Animefan12

Actually, while dogs roll in their poop, cats actually groom themselves. You try having a hairball stuck in your throat, lets see what you do. - dopfui

Cats don't crap on the floor while you're gone like dogs do. - JamesBourne

Compare cleaning a floor to cleaning a table (the bigger the table, the bigger the room and floor would be). - Qryzx

Cats are afraid of water and dogs are afraid of vacuum cleaners,we all have fears,jeez - Nateawesomeness

Without dogs most people wouldn't be as active as they are today

Yep. True.

I love my animals but it's hard getting Trevor in when all he does is lay there and stare at me when I tell him to come in - bobbythebrony

Yeah, because they're not obsessed slaves of humankind. - dopfui

Agreed. Cats would freak out if you move their litter box, but Dogs would see it as an adventure.

So are some dogs. - Userguy44

True! I had this cat once, it did nothing. Ever. Sometimes I forgot I had a pet, because even when I notice it and pay attention to it, it just sits there. It's kinda annoying.

That's so true

Well not actually true. Tara the cat saved the boy who got mauled by the dog for NO REASON WHATSOEVER

Yes if you tease them. They are just animals duh! They need to protect themselves. What would you do if someone hugs you all the time when you don't like it? - Userguy44

Some dogs kill you... - BlueberryCatfish

Sure cats don't scratch as often but dogs have more of a good natured temperament

I just feel that is rights

If I get a dog it will use a human toilet

I hate litter boxes. It makes the house stink when some cat poops in it! It only takes like three weeks to train a dog to poop and pee outside. And it is very easy to train them to do that.

I want to dislike every single one of your rude, selfish comments on any list about how Dogs are bad. Seriously, I bet you never even had a Dog. Don't judge Dogs so much! Sure, you may love Cats more, but no reason to be rude!

Indeed. I personally like cats more than dogs but in general dogs are probably better than cats. - BlueberryCatfish

Uh, that is a bad thing.

True. Dogs make sacrifices too! It is true! Cats just care about themselves and want to keep only them safe.

True. When there is danger, dogs try to help their owner the best they can. Cats just try to save them self.

They take more lives than they save every year. Cats keep more lives than dogs do becase of that. - BlueberryCatfish

Dogs rule cats are hiss screaming monsters

So are cats. - Userguy44

I had a good friendship with a cat too. - Userguy44

This is a humans problem. If you want to have enough money then find a job! - Userguy44

REALLY? a tibetan Mattif costs 1 million dollars - Gingerbobo

It's true. Look it up

With a germ cats can give you. It used to scare me, but now I honestly don't care. I wouldn't even care if Imgotnthe germ. (i have a cat, and she is awesowe)

Okay, I personally like dogs better, but this is a really dumb reason to say that dogs are better than cats.

So? - Userguy44

And cats don't bark. What's your point? - Ku

That's a downside of dogs - dopfui

They just don't care

Uggh what

Yeah x3

This is true. Cat lovers twisted it and made it "Cats reduce risk of Heart Disease". They're just jealous.

But cats reduce heart attack

Look it up.

I had a cool cat. - Userguy44

Indeed. They have no happy, childish spirit, nor any kind of a sense of fun.

Untrue

Indeed! Well, a Golden Retriever would do a better job at it than, let's say, a shish tzu, but at least they'll try.
