Cyril, this "joke" started off un-funny, and got worse. You're starting to get on my nerves. I'm not kidding.

Right, right, I'll stop. I just have an inherent dislike for dogs.

Fuck you, Cyril. It's obvious you never had a dog when you were
growing up, hatfucker. Cats OTOH, are free game....unloyal, ungrateful
bastards, the little hatfuckers......

Cats, physical evidence that God could not be perfect.

cats actually have a little thing called a "brain" which dogs lack unless trained/programmed...and dogs tend to lose programming...

also, a cat can feed itself without getting into a trash can, they don't bark, they don't smell bad if you (unlike many people) actually clean the litter box at least once a day, they don't require walking, they don't eat shoes, socks, candy wrappers, etc... and they don't run into walls more than once...

the real proof of superiority, cats develop a social structure if you have enough of'em for long enough.

do note, that is based off of my own observation of my family's 2 dogs and 7 cats...

dogs, proof that God forgot to program everything properly.

dogs, proof that something can actually be so stupid as to be in negative numbers and hide in the closet when God is handing out brains...


and the #1 reason: CATS DON'T HUMP AIR, YOUR LEG, YOUR CAT, YOUR GUESTS, OR THE COUCH!!!

What the hell is this?
Cats vs. dogs?
They're both great, so all of you shut the hell up.

only other good use for a dog: target practice with a gun.

No, cats have instincts which are better-suited to an urban environment than dogs. Some misguided cat-lovers mistake these instincts for intelligence.

However, intelligence is learning ability. Dogs can be trained to perform complex tasks. Cats cannot. What was the last time you saw a blind man walking down the street behind a seeing-eye CAT?

Again, you are confusing urban-suitable instincts with innate intelligence.

Dogs are pack animals. That is instinctive. Why do you interpret cat instincts as proof of superiority while simultaneously interpreting a cat's ability to EVENTUALLY pick up what a dog knows from birth as proof of superiority? You obviously have some weird psychological problem with dogs (either that, or you're anal-retentive; it is my experience that uptight people always hate dogs).
do note, that is based off of my own observation of my family's 2 dogs and 7 cats...
Humans are born useless, incapable of feeding themselves or properly cleaning themselves for YEARS. We must be trained in order to perform simple tasks. According to your bizarre logic in which trainability is a bad thing and innate skills are a good thing, this makes humans dumber than cats. I know people joke that this is true, but let's be serious. Maybe you like cats better for some reason, and that's your business, but it is utterly ludicrous to portray their poor trainability relative to dogs as proof of superior intelligence.

Those crazy cat ladies scare me, I know one that is 17 and in Acedemic Decathalon with me. She's accually writing a speech about how cats are better than kids. She's gonna die sad and alone. And then her dozens of cats will eat her eyes out.

While I believe dogs are intelligent, the ability to learn and follow orders is not sole proof of intelligence, cats don't do it because it's usually against their nature, not because they can't.

Say that about greyhounds punk, they have the intelligence of a 4 yr old child, they arent nasty, smelly or stupid. They are friendly, dont shed, and quite smart compared to other breeds.

a cat can be trained if there is something in it for them... that is a sign of intelligence. i know this from experience.

I kinda doubt it.......

I had a basenji (named Precious) when I was in college. The backyard (and the bathroom) were her territory. Non-humans (and a certian female friend)entered at their own risk. In the 5 years that she occupied her territory she caught and killed, 2 rabbits, 3 mongoose (what in the hell is plural for mongoose?), 13 birds of varing species (I actually saw her catch some of them in flight as they try to escape) and over 30 freaking cats (1 of which was one my sister brought over for a visist). I know, cause I had to clean up the mess. Anyway, you'd think the cats of the neighborhood would learn. It only tapered off near the end when the cat population in the vicinity had been sufficently depleted so as to decrease the frequency of them straying into my backyard.

Personally, I could care less about cats, don't hate, don't like them either. On the other hand I've loved and had dogs all my life, from my very first (german-shepard named Ming-Toi) to my 3 dalmatians that I have now.

30 cats!? Man you had one fucking hell of a pet. Could you even pick the thing up?

i will concede a single point on dogs: i specifically hate the small toy breed/doorbell dog type, as well as loud ones (see prior comment), improperly taken care of ones (see previous comments), and plain old "bad" dogs like the one that fucked up my knee in an unprovoked attack (hence i really hate the beasts as i'm reminded daily with the pain and the limp even after nearly 3 years, to make matters worse the culprit is still alive cause of my dog lover mom not letting me go to animal control)

dogs do have a purpose and use, and are truely indespensible as work animals, as pets they're worthless in my opinion, but you all know what they say, "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got'em and not everyone likes'em" :D

my family did have a huge 180# mastiff, great old girl, she died at 13, properly handled and taken care of too, wouldn't mind another one to replace that damn doorbell *thing* we have now (papillon), it's too damn "smart" for it's own good and it's about as bad as a cat on the not listening to you, it's also prissy, has a shitload of skin issues (if you wash the damn thing with any soap other than one particular one, it practically itches itself to death), it runs away and comes back (only good/bad point on this) because it just "wants to". irritating little thing...and the neighbors have a schnauzer which won't shut up...the neighbors on the other side of my family have 2 viscious dogs, one of which attacked me for no reason, (see above commentary on that), another neighbor has a free-running mutt which shits in my yard, and another has a damned pug which is one day gonna end up wrapped around the tires of my go-kart or truck when it's chasing me from the FRONT!!!

btw, it is considered gross negligence and improper care if you have a known catkiller and you don't handle it. CH, if you were one of my neighbors and one of my cats bit it, you'd be scraping fido's guts off of the walls after a microwave attack, and i'm NOT joking, there's SB.com members who know of my weaponry.
