Top Ten Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats
AnanyaThe Top Ten
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
17 CommentsI 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.
2 CommentsSo do cats. You should change it to "Dogs care more about you" - Unnamed Google User Remade
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!
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!
8 CommentsBut horses are better. You can ride on them unlike dogs
The tests say that dogs are actually smarter than cats. But if you really think about it, cats are way smarter
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.
11 CommentsThere 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
3 CommentsYes 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
When you have a guard dog no one will come near your yard
Then... It's a watchdog! The one outside the home. - Animefan12
Have you seen a cat saving someone's life? No.
3 CommentsWell 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
2 CommentsI 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!
8 CommentsActually, my cat massages me when I'm sad.
Almost every cat will ignore you. They don't care about you. A dog will always find a solution how to comfort you!
I think the person who made this list...is a dog-person...My cat cares about me, is playful and protect me
This sounds unlikely but I think it might be true. Cause when I'm crying my dog tilts his head to try to understand.
8 CommentsThe Contenders
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
5 CommentsI had a cat and he was a good friend too. - Userguy44
So friendly not like hissy cats
Yeah, man and dog are like Ash Ketchum and Pikachu - Animefan12
It's true, so true. - Ananya
7 CommentsYeah, 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
4 CommentsSo 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!
1 CommentDogs 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
1 CommentCats 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
4 CommentsIf 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.
3 CommentsTrue. 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.
Cats are way less slobbery and slimy then dogs that get mucus all over your face.
Cats are clean and quiet.
No, I'm sorry but that's mew a lot and they hunt than clean themselfs with germs - Gingerbobo
I had a cool cat. - Userguy44
Indeed. They have no happy, childish spirit, nor any kind of a sense of fun.
