Yeah but, pound for pound a dog isn't going to look so smart when it gets its ass kicked and mauled.

Cats are stronger and faster.

That's why dogs are social creatures. One dog will lose to one cat. 12 dogs will not.

Lemme know when you get a 100 pound cat.

One of my dogs acted like a pussy cat whenever he cornered a cat. Unfortunately, the cat clawed his nose and that was all she wrote. My dog knew he shouldn’t kill the cat so he just held his ground and looked over at me. I didn’t think anything of it. I’d seen this play out before. Eventually the dog would get bored and walk off, or the cat would take off and my dog would give chase, bouncing around wagging his tail. Pound for pound, this was a stupid, dead cat before I could blink.

He was a great dog and would even play with cats if they weren’t dicks to him. He would let one of our cats knead him with his paws and he’d do nothing but give him a big slobbery lick on top of the head.

Meh... cats are dumber than a post if you ask me.

Dogs are filthy and disgusting generally speaking. Always smell bad too. And then a fair few of them can kill you.

Cats are also disgusting but are less filthy and don't smell.

That so many people loves dogs is the biggest mystery to me.

My first "Macky" story (a host of very true, very blue, very personal stories) involves 9 cats, each doing the same thing in separate instances.

Understandable to anyone who's heard this story, I'm not the biggest fan of cats. I don't hate them, but I don't really like them, either.

The snuggly, attention seekers, I like. The "you can go F yourself and know that with every glare, I'm trying to figure out if I can smother you in your sleep and eat you" kind of cats... yeah. Totally not a fan. And I've met far too many of those...

Figured Gurley to be a cat person based on his chill, down-to-earth attitude

Animal temperament is definitely a variable, but all things being equal...a 50 lb dog has no chance vs a 50 lb cat. Of course, a 50 lb fire ant would pretty much be the top of the food chain. I'm just sticking to the more realistic argument here.

About 15 yrs ago i went to visit a friend of my ex wife at their house. They had a few cats and a couple medium sized dogs who liked to play rough. Then out of the back bedroom came this freakishly sized black cat that ran up on me and leaped onto my legs. It nearly took me to the ground. Maine Coon. Freaked me the fuck out. It easily weighed about 20-25 lbs. The thing that was so incredible was it's strength. It felt like i was tussling with a 50 lb dog.

Go ahead and supersize your dog of choice up to 300 lbs and he gets absolutely mauled by a 300 lb cat. Not even close, and if the dog runs he gets caught.

I do like dogs as i said. Have owned both. More accessible, more fun, but i like the independence, curiosity and territoriality of cats. For me their more interesting to observe and be around. Then again i did have an especially interesting cat of my own that lived to be 18 yrs old.

I get it. I've had a couple fun cats. But frankly, I get a pet to be more a part of the family and cats just don't fit that bill. My current lab is one of the worst dogs I've ever had and I'll still take his antics over any cat I've had. Can't see taking a cat out to the lake and having it swim around with us as we kayak around. And though a dog can make quick work of furniture, they usually learn not to and don't turn EVERYTHING into a scratching post. I also like having a pet that is always happy to see me at the end of a long day and gets absolutely giddy at the thought of getting a pig ear.

I still go with the study that shows dogs are smarter. Cat people say their animals are independent. I don't buy that. I think they just don't give a damn about anything but themselves. I'd rather have a pet that shows me when he knows he's done a bad thing or when I am happy with him and who will come to me or go lay down when I say.
