1. You will never feel less evolved than a dog. Unlike a cat, whose duty it is to remind you of its superiority in, well, everything.
2. A dog will catch a Frisbee and fetch things. Unlike a cat that will stare blankly at your pathetic efforts to engage it in such pointless endeavors.
3. Most dogs like to go swimming and will jump playfully into any relatively unpolluted body of water with their humyn companions. Unlike cats, who will instantly de-eye any person attempting to incorporate any form of non-saliva moisture into their fur.
4. Dogs? claws are never too sharp to need declawing. Cats, however, spend hours sharpening to ultimate points their razor-sharp talons o? death.
5. Dogs are living vacuum cleaners in the kitchen, indiscriminatingly consuming any and all specimens of food or food-like matter. Unlike cats, who will sniff a piece of choice, delectable salmon for twenty minutes, then finally decide it?s not as interesting as it was yesterday.
6. Dogs are good at rounding up horses, and make excellent aides to sheepherders and ranch-owners. Cats, on the other hand, are way too small to do any such herding. However, they will pretend that the reason they don?t do herding is they?re way above that nonsense.
7. A dog can be easily trained to protect you and your loved ones, even barking and/or attacking on cue. A cat, however, will sleep right through a burglary or move to a quieter room until the annoying "noise-maker" exits its "sleep space."
8. Dogs actually listen when you command them to speak, shake, sit, or stay. Unlike cats who take three years to recognize their own names.
9. If a dog is big enough, you can wrestle with it. A cat would much rather sleep, play chess, or do a crossword puzzle.
10. Dogs are social animals, enjoying interaction among members of their own and other species. Cats, in contrast, don?t seem to be aware that anyone or anything outside of themselves exist.
), but I will definitely have a cat first for the reasons U2Kitten listed. They're so much more independent than dogs, need less space, and are quieter. I would feel awful having a dog in a tiny flat with no yard and no one home during the day to look after it/play with it.
