Dogs Are Better Pets Than Cats.
Dogs are man's best friend. They are smarter and can save you when you are in trouble.

I would definitely agree that dogs are better than cats. Cats are disloyal when compared to dogs in my opinion. That and I can play with the dog without getting bit or scratched up, as opposed to playing with a cat who has not been de-clawed.

I wanted most of my life to have a cat, but I am actually considering getting a dog instead--a chihuahua. The reason for my change is that my boss's cat and another lady's cat get mad for reasons they cannot figure out and tear up things that are special to them and do number 2 on their clothes. I don't think dogs are as introspective or as emotionally "thin-skinned" as cats are. Dogs just seem happier, too.

Some one's been watching Lassie reruns...
I agree that dogs are more useful and smart, but as a pet, they're the same. At least cats don't bark during the night, pee the carpet, and get "very" close to your leg.

 But also dogs do let u teach them tricks, cats would just look at u and walk a way in a manner meaning 'piss off'

I am not saying that cats are better i am just saying that dogs are not better than cats. They are great in different ways

dogs: Smarter, Loyal!

Cats: Less work to look after, longer lifespan!

I think they are pretty equal!

Neither is better, they're either good or bad based on the individual merits of each pet. For example your dog could be brilliant or well behaved like lassy OR you could end up with one that howls all night and mauls visitors. And your cat could be classy graceful and dignified OR it can act almost feral and even scratch and bite the hand that feeds it.

Some will say training helps and that can be true, and on the surface that would appear to favor dogs, but sometimes even the best of dogs do the unexpected. Yes there are well trained pitbulls which inexplicably go cujo.

The only real tie breaker to me is you can coexist with a cat that doesn't like you because most likely it will keep it's distance and be quiet. If a dog doesn't like you however then you've got a loud barking growling menace acting almost rabid. Housecats gone bad are just annoying, dogs gone bad are outright dangerous. There's a reason kids are almost never afraid of cats but quite regularly learn to be weary of certain dogs.

I am not sure, but cats are cleaner. I am neither for or against but If you think about it cats don't smell when they are wet (which is hardly ever) and don't want taking on walks.

 Cats are cleaner? I'm not entirely sure about that. My fiance's friend has three cats and those litter boxes smell horrible in the house. At least my pup goes outside to do his business...

Dogs are too much hard work and especially if you're old and they cant take the dog out for a walk and look after it but cats just look after themselves.

Dogs are sometimes too much work for some people...

Cats do not take as much looking after and are sometimes more affectionate.
