Ok, that to sterotype anything , but not all dogs are hyper.
This stereotypical muttering is not healthy for anybody.
Each breed is different, but with people rather buying dogs from newspaper ads, then a good breeder, no wonder so many dogs are * wacked*.
As a dogowner, I do not condone this teenage type maturity posts, cat people are a * breed of their own* .
But we should not put one abobe the other.
I prefer dogs, but we own both, dogs and cat.
I even turned my husband into a carperson, because EInstein is a very special feline.
A dog protects my house and home, comes when called, a cat does not care, has a mind of his own.
Does not do anything to protect me and my family, they are purely a companion animal.
Would I choose one over the other , no, I will always have both.
Dogs think their human, Cats know they are .

I definitely agree with the first part, not all dogs are hyper and it would be silly for anyone to say so. I also agree that you can't put one above the other, they are both wonderful animals to have around. I love both cats and dogs, I just think that cats are easier to take care of.
I don't agree with the second part, cats do have their own minds, but they definitely DO care about their people. All three of my cats come when I call them, not out of obedience, but because they love me and want to be with me when I am home. I also had a cat a few years back who was fiercely protective of me. He didn't like it when any man came near me and one time he actually attacked a guy that I had gone out with when he tried to hug me. Not to mention, you can look on the internet and find numerous stories about people who's cats saved their lives by alerting them to fire or burglaries. Dogs seem like better protectors because they are bigger than cats, but never underestimate how ferocious a ten pound cat can be!

I like dogs as well of cats, but cats are easier to live with. I can't have a dog where I live now, but I have grown up with many dogs. With cats, I don't have to go for a walk in the rain, snow, freezing temps, etc. I like the independence cats have. If I have to go somewhere overnight, I don't have to worry or have someone come in to take care of them. Cats don't bark so it's quieter. And dogs don't purr

I dunno about you guys but why choose between a cat and a dog when you have a cat that ACTS like a dog? Tommy comes when he's called, he plays fetch, and he eats the food that accidently falls on the floor
