[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;42411264]I love dogs. Cats seem to be really good with babies too, though. [video=youtube;lkv0PAzYG-U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkv0PAzYG-U[/video][/QUOTE] fake, that's clearly a dog in a cat costume, cats are incapable of affection
This is pretty old.
[QUOTE=Furioso;42402324]Comparing cats and dogs is like comparing cows and sheep - they're all domesticated animals, sure, but they were domesticated for [I]completely[/I] different purposes. Why the hell does this shit crop up every single time cats or dogs are mentioned? You could just as easily say that [del]parakeets[/del] [del]donkeys[/del] [del]ferrets[/del] [del]goldfish[/del] ([I]any other animal depending on attribute) [/I]ain't got shit on dogs or cats or [I]whatever[/I] [editline]3rd October 2013[/editline] CAN'T HUG A GOLDFISH DOGS RULE GOLDFISH DROOL [editline]4th October 2013[/editline] I mean seriously, just put some thought into it: dogs have been domesticated for [I]thousands[/I] of years longer than cats have, they were pretty much bred to be loyal working animals who would help humans in various ways (sheepherding, guarding, hunting, etc) and so naturally dogs have become man's best friend not only because they had the ability to help with a variety of tasks, but because enough time has passed in human/dog co-evolution that it eventually became instinctual for them to rely on us. Their instincts have adapted to being subservient companions to human beings. It should come as a surprise to no one that a dog is likely to be more loyal and compassionate than a cat because it's in their nature to do so. House cats have been domesticated for a far shorter length of time than dogs, and they were primarily raised to fulfill a role of vermin control at home. Of course they're not as loyal as dogs - cats [I]were never domesticated for that purpo[/I]se, nor has adequate time passed for their instincts to change as sufficiently or noticeably as dogs' instincts have. They're still capable of being compassionate, of course, but not to the level of a dog because at the present it simply isn't in their nature. Whether or not that will change, only time will tell. But it's simply a fact that housecats are closer to their wildcat ancestors (African wildcats, if I recall properly) than dogs are to wolves. Put the kid in the OP's video next to a wolf and see if it'll react the same way Comparing cats to dogs like it's black v. white is [I]dumb[/I].[/QUOTE] why is this pissing you off so bad like jesus
[QUOTE=Death_God;42415466]why is this pissing you off so bad like jesus[/QUOTE] 'cause it's annoying as hell my dude I dunno, I've got no problem with dogs themselves, it's the owners that piss me off. I guess I've just dealt with a lot of annoying dog owners who were [I]way[/I] too proud and obnoxious about owning a dog and the "cats suck" bullshit. Not all dog owners are like that but you have to admit they're out there.... I gotta admit that I am biased, because I have a cat, but at the same time it pisses me off when someone who owns cats shits all over dogs too. There's no reason for it and their arguments for it are always ridiculous. Pet elitism is just irritating and really pointless

my dog hates black people
[QUOTE=meppers;42434891]my dog hates black people[/QUOTE] Safer communities together.
Some of my cats are very affectionate. One loves to follow me around, and everytime he hears me get in bed he comes running in and hops up and cuddles right beside my head. You can toss and turn and he'll roll with you, he doesn't mind. He also lays like a human sometimes (just the head on the pillow etc..) I've never had a dog, but had many friends who have. I love both cats and dogs.
