Dogs are more fun. They play. Cats only come when THEY want to. There's no point in naming a cat, because it's not like they know it or come to you when you call them :bleh:

They do, my first cat was a half-wild forestcat. he'd go out hunting at night and would always bring back the prettiest little presents. Sometimes he'd keep his catches for himself down in the basement and eat them (or part of them) but sometimes he'd come up and miauw till we came so he could proudly show off the gift he'd brought us. Sometimes it was a pigeon, sometimes a hare... you get the picture. But he'd always come running up when we yelled his name, even when he was out hunting a few gardens away.

Ah god!
Cats can be considered pets?
Those are wild animals that are let into someone's house, then they cause chaos, have lots of babies, and then die.

I like them both, for the most part, but cats smell better, so they win.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Ever smell wet cat?
Or cat feces?
Or cats that have been outside?

I like cats because they are clever and have personality. And I mean proper personality, when a dog lover says "personality" they mean is "incredibly dopey and craps everywhere".

Oh, and well-trained dogs are not intelligent, they may be clever, but not intelligent. If you threw a stick off a cliff and shouted "Fetch!" then the dog would be straight off the edge, that's not intelligent.

[Blood-Pigggy]

That's something I have to disagree with.
It's almost been proved that dogs have intelligence more relative to that of humans, whereas cats have more of an animilistic instinct rather than true capacity to learn.
Example, you CAN teach a dog to say words (Extremely difficult, probably only things like "Mom"), and a dog can begin to understand the English language, dogs gradually learn things, then it stays with them for a long time.
It's much like a human, a baby doesn't know much, but when it reaches an adult, a dog could even know how some household things work.

They fit things into their head like puzzles.
My dog adores "Biscuit Time" where my mother has coffee with some English Biscuits.
He sees her go into the kitchen, he waits for her to sit down, then eagerly waits next to her.
If she takes coffee any other time of the day, he immediatly recognizes that it's not "Biscuit Time".
Dogs have long term memory.
Cats are much more like fish, things don't really stick in their heads.

Although there's something I'd have to agree with in your post.
Dogs are relative to human intelligence, and humans themselves will jump off a cliff if you tell them to fetch a stick.

Oh, and a dog won't do that because he'll know that it's too high. They make a understand of physics in gravity, like "If I jump from this height, I'll land harder." Cats are simply just scared of random stuff like water.

[Havell]

Water is dangerous for cats, they're not good swimmers.

And cats can remember things long term, like which house to go to to get fed and how fridge doors work

I kind of like cats' independence, it means you can not see them for a few days and not be scared of them having starved to death. Plus you get the sense of the cat hanging around with you because it likes it, instead of depending on you for food.

Plus I like the fact that you can have a cat and a normal house, as opposed to having to shut off parts of the house and not being able to put things on the floor.
