Dog or cat for your family and why?

Pillow, food source, something to practice my untying string skills on, usual reasons.

I will prefer dogs

Sounds like a good trade.

Cats for only one reason, I don't have to walk them every day. But as far as loving them, it's about the same.

Two big dogs - Gracie and Sandy


Three cats - Tess, Chips and Adams


I have always had dogs and cats (and, yes, that's plural)...
Don't know how people live without animals around them. They are everything from a sounding board to a foot warmer.

Robot dog, l thought sure this will be a non event, but it is pretty good.

And your child learns about dead or at least drunkeness whenever the power goes out!

No real cat equivelants, but this gets close.


I like the cats circling around, before they tear it to shreads, (well, l can hope).

Claude - it's only 'stuff'


We have a large scratching post and 2 Turboscratchers....and the furniture is fine...except we do have to vacuum more than most (I know you like that).


I wouldn't date someone who didn't want animals in the house - let alone marry them....

4 dogs and a cat that thinks she is a dog here. All girls. My weiner dog has recently gone deaf. She is old - probably 10 or so - but it came on kind of sudden. I need to take her to see the doc to see if it's old age or something else.

Even though we get irritated with them at times when they do something wrong - just like kids - they are family and I can't imagine being without them.

Our cats are like that - but my d-in-law is an early riser so she handles the morning feed.


Gracie is the only dog I've ever had who is never in a hurry to get up in the morning. She has a memory foam bed with her fave red plush blanket on it. She will sleep in as late as I will - she will doze after I get up while I putter and shower and dress....every dog before Gracie was alert and active the moment I opened my eyes in the morning. She's like 'let me know when I need to move'...

I don't have either yet. I grew up with dogs and loved them all. We had a beagle and a German Shepherd. I think the dog would be higher maintenance, but much more affectionate than a cat. I could be wrong. I'd be happy with either. Sadly, my wife is allergic.

We talkin' they sleep so sweet at your feet on the rug your granma weaved husself, they could almost be hooman as your besties & fam?

Or ...

Prime the catapult onslaught to ravage my bloodline with scores of these insignificant quadrupeds! I demand cutesy kittens fired direct into the mouths of irritating mewlsy babes, and thunderous HOUND ACTION beating relentlessly (as HURLED CORPSES) against GRANPA'S RIDICULOUS TEETH ... till my tear ducts can't figure the diffrence between JOY and SHAME?

tbh my golden rule 'bout four-legged friends is how if'n they wanna lick my face idc if'n they BRAD PITT.

I would pick a cat over a dog anytime of the day....i love how they mind their own business..

Dogs see you as 'family' - cats think you are 'staff'

You shouldn't tear up Claude just because they released this message...

Dogs, even if they always occupy my bed and set aside their own pet bed.
They are easy to train and is much more friendly than snooty cats.

Grew up with a Dog and later in life inherited 3 cats. Put 2 down sadly and had the 3rd one by itself for years. It was a Persian Calico and it was such a gentle cat that enjoyed sitting on my lap getting pets. You can google images to see what they look like.

Miss both the dog and cat, but I would replace the cat first because it was very low maintenance. Never needed to be walked, put out the food and fresh water and it was set. You could leave for a day or two and it would be fine. I still miss the cat several years later.
I would not consider a dog because it would lack the attention it would deserve.

I currently have a Conure (small parrot) one of four, that we got when the cats were alive. (cats were declawed, in case you were wondering) It has a great personality that is very entertaining. Every morning when I get up it sings, and waits for it's daily treats.

If anyone is looking into a charity or getting a dog or cat, look up tazewell county animal shelter, That rescues & relocates missed treated dogs and other animals, from the Appalachian area to be adopted and moved to a new owners home. A lot have been adopted and moved into the New England area.

Hello,
I love pets.

Cats! Less maintenance so you have more time to swipe cards

I also Love all Pets, especially for both cats and dogs. But I like cats the most than the dog. I have a beautiful cat in my home.

Beautiful video of funny cats, Because I love cats.

I thought that Claude's lifelong goal was to become an overweight guy sitting at the Wooster park on a filthy bench on a cold winters day, wearing second hand clothing, that smells like mothballs and turps mumbling to himself, and feeding the pigeons?

It isn't over,.....forget it.

A cat. Why? I don't know. We found him on the street some years ago and now he's our family member.

i prefer dogs

CAT! less work, cleaner,dont smell and they are fun to cuddle with

I prefer you cat because its very pretty.

I remember early in the internet craze someone came up with a virtual pet site. You needed to login every day and feed and play with your pet.

Mine died from starvation and neglect

Oh well such is digital life.

I now have a cat named Molly, well my wife has a cat named Molly, very low maintenance.

Cats.... easier to maintain

Honestly i prefer cats to dogs.. a can not explain why but i used to it. Since i was a child i had been bringing cats to my house

I have a cat. I saw her on the street and decided I wanted her. She's good for emotional support and she makes me laugh.

I like both cats and dogs. I just happen to have a cat.

I'd get a dog and a cat. That would be the best imo.

I love dog a lot. Because this one is good and faithful. Serve human for a long time.

Yeah, easier to maintain. And the demand of foods is less than a dog. But dog can serve yourself from attack.

Cats because they're cooler...

Dogs...if I want a low maintenance pet I'll get a turtle.


Dogs:
‎âœ" lead the blind
‎âœ" protect our homes and families
‎âœ" sniff out bombs
‎âœ" track criminals
‎âœ" drag us out of fires
‎âœ" detect cancer and other diseases


Cats:
‎âœ" poop in a box

Surprised at how many responded with 'cats - because they are less work'. I've never worried about work when it comes to pets - I enjoy them.


Except perhaps this week when family is out of town and I have to get up early to feed the cats because my d-in-law usually feeds them the 'good' canned food at 5:30 AM. Nothing like waking up with a cat's face 4 inches from yours as he meows his explanation of why he needs food NOW.


The dogs sleep in till I wake - the cats have a SCHEDULE and won't let me forget it.

i prefer cats , as i am a religious man not completely but in our Islam we should not allow dogs in our houses

dogs are great to have they allways love you and protect you and they dont argue back plus its proven fact great for nerves and for mental people and elderly

Dogs for my family we are deathly allergic to Cat Dander. We have always had pet dogs in my family not only are they loving and caring they are guardians, friends and awesome companions.

Dogs can be intelligent and understanding its a two way relationship
while cats can be cute but not that smart only care for their needs like food, bath
but when iam angry as soon as i cuddle the cat it fades away! Dogs can be reasonable sometimes but a cat will hunt you of you are small like 6inch.

Lovely Cats are my most loved pet creature since I don't need to walk them consistently. In any case, the extent that cherishing them, it's about the equivalent.

Dog for sure. I just feel happier around dogs haha. And I feel like I can build a better understanding with dogs.

I'll prefer Dog, specially Boston Terrier.
See her cuteness.

I have a pug! It's more than a dog, it's one of my friends!

cat is clean pet animal

Really love cats lately but im the dog owner which will never let anything alive to be on his territory

Did I mention I also have a pet racoon. He hides in the woods all day but at night we let him open our garbage can and spread everything all over the yard. It is so cute. You should all get one

al

Dogs for sure.

I have 4 oldies - one 14 years, one 12 years and two 11 years. Methinks I'm in for some heartache in the next few years :-(

I love to play with dogs and puppies at my home

Because i love pets.

There's a reason why dogs are called "Man's best friend".

I prefer dogs. A home without dogs is just a house.

I would prefer a dog because they are loyal as compared to cat

I will prefer to have the dog in my family especially Boston Terrier Puppies.

See the cuteness of these Boston terriers.

Cats love to play. They are quite acrobatic too -- especially when you take out a toy fishing pole or a cat dancer toy. They will leap, run, and pounce on the toy, which is great fun to watch. I love my Murphy.

After having both dogs and cats I think it comes down to what you're looking for in a relationship with your animal. If you love the idea of having an animal there, but not much interaction with you then go cat. They're very self-sufficient. If you want an animal that is more engaging, can take outdoors with you but requires more work I would go dog.

I like both cats and dogs, cats are clam not bothering anybody and dogs on the other have are fun to have

Cats) I am too lazy to walk with a dog every day)

I have a dog (a 4 y/o Jack Russell Terrier), sheds like crazy, is always crazy, and is friendly to friends and strangers. Would bark at any cat he sees, feels, or hears.

In my family lives a cat, her name is Chip. She is affectionate and playful. She is not purebred, we found her when we walked in the park.

I have a labrador named Jerry. Great dog, he is still very young, but very smart.

The best thing about cats is that taco cat spelled backwards is taco cat.


(Please be patient, we need to give Claude some time to work this out in his head.)

I love Cat. They are entertaining. This is the only reason.

Cat because I'm an indoorsy introvert person so I need an animal that would be ok with my lifestyle. Though if lived in the country side I would like to have a dog as well (who would get along with my cat).

I have both a cat and a dog. Love them
