Cats or Dogs?

To me cats are revolutionaries and dogs are slaves...discuss.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I like both.

I prefer cats. They're easier to maintain, live longer, I personally find them more lovable, are cheaper to care for than dogs, and require less room. I see them as more compatible with the proletarian who usually do not own the spacious mansions and trillions of dollars to spend on dog food, that the Capitalists do.

Although I must say, the ultimate pet is indeed the fish.

Cat food costs money too, and if your cat doesn't have room to move around it will be fat.


I've never met a cat that was affectionate, even to its owner.

Cat food costs a lot less than dog food however, cats also consume much less. I didn't say cats needed no room, but many dogs require a large yard to run around in, where as cats don't. Meh cat loves meh :P

Cat-dog threads: a Revleft tradition.

Dogs are, in my opinion, far more interesting creatures. For a start, they come in all shapes and sizes, whereas cats all look basically the same (even those frightful ones with no fur would look like an ordinary feline if they grew some hair).

Also, it is a great and ongoing challenge to win the respect and compliance of a dog. That's why there are tonnes of books, tv programmes, seminars, etc., on the subject, and a whole industry of people who make a living from dog training. Cats are very happy to stay out of your way as long as they get fed. Dogs aren't as easily contented, and will constantly test you if you give them the chance; they wanna be the man of the house and don't give a shit that you don't believe in hierarchy. In their world, you either lead or you're led.

Also, the phenomenon of dog breeds is just fascinating. Its history is inseparable from the history of humanity itself. Cat breeds exist, but with relatively very little heterogeneity or purpose.

And you can't walk a cat. And dog spelt backwards is GOD. Cat spelt backwards is 'tac', which doesn't mean anything.

Cats range from Tabbys to Pumas to Lions. Not necessarily constricted to a small range of shape and size. Now then, domestic cats generally are of a smilar shape and size (small), but this only serves as a covenience to those of the lower class. Dogs do have an entire industry built around their management (which I do not necessarily perceive as a good thing), but be that as it may, cats also require training to a degree. Why, I even own a book entitled "What is your cat thinking?", based on building the human-cat relationship. I find rare cat mixed breeds to be far more interesting based on their natural occurance, and not to be slaves of man like Labradors. You most certainley can walk a cat. And so what if it's "GOD"? That's not a positive thing to me. TAC can mean a bunch of things, True Anarchist Communist, for one. My cat enjoys attention and doesn't eat a whole lot by the way, and has utilities of it's own, catching mice for example, which then feed fish.

Cats are for lonely middle-aged women. Whereas dogs are for...well, also lonely people but regardless of their age or sex. So dogs it is.

[cska]

Cats are lazy bourgeoise while dogs are hard working proletariat.

As history shows, everyone can have cats. And all types of people enjoy cats

Cat food would be less overall. Also my cat shows me affection all the time! If I come home he runs down the stairs to greet me.

Valid point. If we're talking about non-domesticated cats, there is more diversity there, in terms of physical appearance, than in non-domesticated dogs (wolves, foxes, coyote).

Unfortunately the rest of your 'points' aren't valid. :cool:

Seeing I'm an authoritarian Marxist I prefer the controllable dogs. Cats are too independent to be organized by their vanguard masters. ;)

:D Even I got a kick out of that. But obviously the pleasure emmitted from a pet does not come solely from transporting it. I have a dog too, a mixed breed of about 10 different speciemsn, who I hate runnign with/walking with becaue she is inconsistent in her pace and tries to nudge in front of me. Where as the cat, is more cool and, if you will, chill.

I have both living with me. A cat (my own) and a dog (the chick I live with owns it,) and they get along well enough. Or should I say, they know each other's space and don't bother each other, but do at times lay near one another.

I like both, grew up with both at different times of my life, and can never side with Cat or Dog people on which is better.

Centrists be damned.

Dogs are the proletariat choice of companions. Have you ever seen a hobo with a cat?

Or a cat in the middle of a riot?

Since when are hobos proletarian, and since when do they have pets?:laugh:

"Or a cat in the middle of a riot?"

BS question for 2 reasons:
1. Riots are not always proletarian-centered
2. Dogs can just as easily represent tyranny, ever read Animal Farm?

I've owned two dogs, and neither of them have eaten their own shit, or stunk for that matter.

(Well, one of them was a huge German shepherd who would occassionally go on "romps", and would sometimes roll in dead carcasses.)

Never thus far have I known a dog that did not feast on it's or another creatures' droppings. My dog even tries to go digging in the litter box. A side-note, my dog has dug huge holes in my back yard, some 2ft. deep.

Any animal which does not go to the bathroom in the toilet is reactionary and counter-revolutionary. This includes young children.

Make it DOGS ARE STALINISTS
CATS ARE ANARCHISTS

[Os Cangaceiros]

My family got my first dog when I was 5, and he lived until I was 18, so he basically was there through my entire childhood. He was pretty much one of my best friends...it sounds ridiculous to people who have never had a dog that an animal could be your "friend", but that's how a lot of people classify their relationships with their pets, I guess, dogs especially. We'd go hiking through the forests around my house, swimming (he could swim for hours, even though he was a German shepherd) and hunting in the low-lying mountains surrounding where I used to live. He once jumped out of a pickup truck going 40 mph down the highway in order to chase cows when he was a puppy, and he survived eating a huge amount of antifreeze...my parents had literally dug his grave and were waiting for him to die. Once or twice a year he would disappear for a few days to chase deer and rabbits...he got a few, including killing one in front of my schoolbus once. He almost got killed by a grizzly bear once. Basically he was a legend.

No cat can compare with that.

Dogs - friends of the downtrodden.

[Quail]

I prefer dogs. I especially like German Shepherds, but when I was a child I wasn't allowed pets because my mum was allergic to their fur, so the most I had were a couple of guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are nice and cuddly, but they're not exactly affectionate or interesting. They're just lazy fluffballs that are cute and fun to stroke!

[bcbm]

i read the title as "cats or drugs" which is actually a more difficult choice

[meow]

ive not tasted cat or dog. but i understand a vegetable fed dog can turn out some quite good meat. so far as it goes im not sure a cat could survive on only vegetable and thus wouldnt be as tasty.

mmm dog burger.

My eyes are getting all watery. :crying:


My damn ex-cat wouldn't even let me pet him in the absence of treats.

So I kicked him out of the house and let him die in the wild alone.

Kidding, we cooked him up and he tasted great.


What? He wasn't of much use otherwise. I was the one who caught all the mice.

:crying: Makes you shed a tear.

My one cat Gracie caught 3 mice in a week once. Total score in a month (and to this date), 4-nil cat.

My dog tries to lick and bite me with it's vile mouth even when I don't have treats.

My guess is you spoiled your cat.

[RedStarOverChina]

No, he looked about more than a month old when I found him by the dumpster. By then he had already became a feral animal and there were little I could do to correct his behavior or make him like me.

So after 3 years or so he ran away, leaving behind a heartbroken Chinese kid who vowed not to get another cat ever again. :crying:

That is actually quite a sad story, but what do you expect? Isn't that like a similar thing with letting a zoo animal to live in the wild, they would be totally unsuited and become dsigruntled with their enviorment. Organizations that provide shelter, care, and food, not to mention specialized training are necessary to domesticate animals.
