To a Dog, you. are a Master
to a cat you are just a staff.

That's because you're it's "boss/pack leader" - it's just doing some major brown-nosing! A dog is at it's happiest when it either has it's wet nose 1/4 of an inch from your anus, or it's gargantuan saliva-ridden tongue all up in your grill. Eeek!

Cats are way more genuine, and far less disgustingly so.

Who in his right frame of mind would want to have a cat as pet.... Jor o! Wen dat person no wan use grounded pepper do tiroo. It will surprise u wen u start seeing them in ur dreams every night.

Il simply advice u go for dogs. They can be active in protecting u, bt i doubt if cats are protective @ all. So so sluggish and scary.

Cats are cool. In short get a cat, we need to start gradually breaking the stigma attached to cat. They are cute clean animals. Moreover the eyes can only glow so much till you get used to it.

GOATS are better than both.

Eran Iya Osogbo comes to mind.

Buy a goat as your pet.

just buy a goat and Give it a sweet name like "Sweery or Kinkyberry or Ewu-Nkem or Onitemi" and it becomes a pet.

if you want a stuborn pet like "Eran Iya Osogbo", name the goat "Aregbesola". it will learn how to use video camera on android.

I own both as pets so I can give you first hand info, dogs are cool as security "equipment" but if you want a pet you should get a lhasa apso or chihuahua or any other house-compliant dog but cats generally can be carried cos of their size except you have a real life garfield. Cats sleep much and they don't consume much, so at night you'll be happy except if it's possessed grin. OK, enough of the story, Get a dog for security and get a cat to be the pet. I still hate the purring stuff angry

I wish I had a direwolf.

I love cats when I was young but they have a mind of their own. They are with you only when they need you or feeding time.

Dogs are loyal friends

Direwolf are complete

Re: Are Dogs Better Companions Than Cats? by IdomaLikita: 8:22am On Oct 25, 2014
Why not get both, like my Grandma?
Since they both have unique qualities, you could maximize all their individual qualities!

1. A good Dog breed will cost you far much more than a Cat!(Infact,many Cat owners in Nigeria are willing to give you one for free) so the matter of dual cost is settled

2. If they grow together as Puppies, the Tom and Jerry Scenario would hardy arise (my Grandma's Cat eats from the same plate as her Dog and they are both adults now though they generally avoid one another when not eating)

3. They both inhabit different Niches, so the issue of space is solved! While your Dog can have the Compd to itself and enjoy the outdoors with you, your cat can form a perfect companion for you while watching telemundo at night!

4. They are both Facultative Omnivores so feeding isn't a Problem (though cats tend to be more obligate but this isn't a problem since they can supplement your yam and Oil with the rats they catch)

5. They have different enemies- you could also maximize that! While the Canine keeps Humans at Bay, the Feline does pest control for you


Why can't you eat your cake and have it?

I think so. I don't like cats. I have lived with dogs,sat with them, rubbed their head n bathed them. They are cool if well trained. Will certainly have some in my house in time.

I love both. But dogs are better for young children. Dogs are more tolerant of childish behaviours.

TheNaijan:


Here are some points you should consider:
Cats are beautiful creatures. So are women. Especially when it comes to their faces, and more so their eyes. Staring in a cat’s eyes for long, can mesmerize you. So can a woman’s.
Cats are manipulative, prodigal creatures that only want you when they want you...Just like some ...
Cats know how to insinuate themselves into your affection. “Aw, look at the poor cute little thing!” A cat is a master at turning its weakness into its advantage. It would meekly rub its soft fur against you to garner attention. It would purr softly and sensually as you stroke it. It snuggles softly into your body, making you believe that it needs and ‘loves‘ you, but what it actually needs is the warmth of your body.
Cats are opportunistic. Cats live on opportunity. They stalk their prey.So don't be worried if its most times in your ceiling waiting for a rat it saw.
Cats are narcissistic creatures. A cat spends most of its time eating, exploring (to hunt or steal), sleeping, lazing around and preening itself.
Cats can screw up your home. Cats are worst when it comes to your furniture. A cat will happily allow itself to sharpen its claws on your furniture and ruin it.
Cats can’t defend your home A cat will only fight to defend itself, but never you.

On DOGS:
Dogs are honorable and loyal creatures, exhibiting essentially masculine virtues.A dog’s greatest quality is in its loyalty and honor when it comes to their masters. Dogs will always stick with you; watch your back.
Dogs can be classified as beta males...they basically do most of what their masters say...Cats are classified as alphas, and that's why most women are attracted to them...Lol.
Dogs are self sacrificing creatures. A dog may run away when it comes to personal safety, but rarely backs down from danger especially when it comes to the safety of its master.
Dogs love d_ggy style.And so do men. No brainier there.
Dogs are direct and honest animals. A dog’s efforts to gain your attention are direct, not a subtle gauged seduction of you like a cat. But the problem with dogs is that they can’t act feminine and cute like cats to gain your attention. Dogs will lick you, bark at you and act funny so that you notice them. That’s how men are.
Dogs are brave creatures. A dog’s bravery is legendary. So much that they were employed in war and domesticated to guard homes and livestock .
CONCLUSION:
Dogs are a man’s best friend.Period. A dog will never leave you, even in adverse situations.
I'm sweetly in Love with this post in particular and It's a Smart One at that. ßetween, you didn't tap that outta your wealth of knowledge, did you?
