Quick poll - Cats or dogs

Dogs all the way! Cats are too stringy unless you stew them all day. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9
Even then, you still have to eat around the hairballs. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

No need to start a cats vs. dogs war; simply vote 5 if you like dogs or 1 if you like cats. If you like both, vote 3; if you like neither, move along, folks. I like dogs myself. :) Cheers, Vikram.

I'd rather have a cat and visit dog people. BW

Dogs have owners; cats have caretakers. Need I say more?
I have much less respect for kiss-asses, which is why I own room with a cat. BW

I get along with both, although there are specific breeds and individuals that i don't care for. However, I do not care to see dogs kept indoors or tied in a confined area. If you're living in an apartment, have a small yard, or just think you need to keep something confined, then get a cat or a fish or nothing at all. Driving a creature insane is a pretty shitty thing to do to something you claim to like. :|
Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

I tend to agree with dogs needing more space than many people provide them, however apartments can be a decent place to keep a dog if it's a Pomeranian or some other frou frou breed and you let it out for some exercise daily. BW

From an old questionaire to determine if you are a 'Real Man'. (Ran across it quite a while ago, and have never forgotten this question): Do you prefer: a) Cats b) Dogs c) Dogs that eat cats. Of course, the answer for 'Real Men' was c).

:laugh: Talking of cats, the type of rabbit we had as a pet (Netherland dwarf), used to occassionally kill cats. My parents had some in the States and one day a cat had taken one of the babies, the male, who stayed outside in the garden then killed the cat during the night. Embarrasing when you had to tell the neighbours how their cat died.

You've gotta watch those little snappers :) Best I've heard of is my father's Lab who used to kill moles by listening to them tunneling, when she figured out where it was she'd pounce hard with both feet. If she walked of it means a guaranteed kill, if she started digging it meant she'd wounded or (even rarer) missed it completely. Ed

Those are the breeds i just flat-out don't like. :-O I'd compare 'em to rats, but i've lived with a pet rat, and frankly rats are easier.

Dogs have an even bigger undisputable advantage, they are useful ;P. And don't even think about saying cats kill mice, Sandy, our lab will hunt down & kill mice. As well as going all the normal gun dog things, fetching items, tidying up her toys, taking messages to members of the family, digging (with permission) potatoes from the garden and more... Ed

Cats and computer programmers are kindred spirits[^] :laugh:_
- They are both intelligent.
- They are both naturally inquisitve.
- They are both independent.
- Neither have any respect whatsoever for authority.

What experiments have you been performing :~ ? :) On a more serious note one of my friends from primary school had a cat (well we think it was a cat) that was extremely fat but incredibly athletic and agile, it was able to jump out of the kitchen window from the floor (a distance of ~8ft). But this cat used to have geat fun sitting on swivel chairs, spinning round watching bats and when the bat flew overhead it'd jump up and catch it. But I still prefer dogs ;P Ed

Our family's got a nickname for Chiwawas (if that's how you spell it), Rats on Wheels. Once, we were at the Royal Welsh and this huge pompous lady walked past with one and my sister who was only ~10 at the time called out, look Dad a Rat on Wheels. :doh: You should have seen the look on the womans face :laugh: Ed

You've obviously never had a cat. Dogs have owners; cats have clients.

Yep - never saw a house cat retrieve a duck, herd cattle, or tear a burglar's arm off... You just did not have a big enough cat. One of my college buddies who lived in San Bernardino had a mountian lion as a pet. No one ever burgled that house - EVER.
