Top Ten Reasons Why Dogs Are Better Pets Than Cats:

1. Dogs will tilt their heads and try to understand every word you say. Cats will ignore you and take a nap.

2. Cats look silly on a leash.

3. When you come home from work, your dog will be happy and lick your face. Cats will still be mad at you for leaving in the first place.

4. Dogs will give you unconditional love until the day they die. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

5. A dog knows when you're sad. And he'll try to comfort you. Cats don't care how you feel, as long as you remember where the can opener is.

6. Dogs will bring you your slippers. Cats will drop a dead mouse in your slippers.

7. When you take them for a ride, dogs will sit on the seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private basket, or they won't go at all.

8. Dogs will come when you call them. And they'll be happy. Cats will have someone take a message and get back to you.

9. Dogs will play fetch with you all day long. The only thing cats will play with all day long are small rodents or bugs, preferably ones that look like they're in pain.

10. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.

Yeah but cats do not bark at 3 am, do not lie down and block your path when you carry heavy things and weigh so little that it doesn't matter if they jump on your lap... plus I've never seen a cat whine incessantly ( my dog could seriously be used for torture purposes as he can do this high pitched whine that lasts ages...)
Also I've never once heard of a cat who woke up the baby while playing

Missing my cats, a bit frustrated with the dogs right now

Sounds like it! Not that I blame you, I have to give you every point, at least at the minute. We have three; mine, our roommate's, and one I'll be caretaking for the rest of her life...a husky, a lab-bloodhound and a springer. Small house--all three hanging around together makes an obstacle course entering the house with packages.

Mine (the husky) has a new "game"--called race up back in our little redwood "grove" and bark...at something. Only discovered that a week or so ago, he thinks it's the BEST game...especially at 3am, 5am...you get the picture. Currently got scabs running down my leg from chasing him down in the middle of the night two nights ago (he and I sleep outdoors, and I forgot to shut the gate).

Choey's dog Kiowa (the lab/bloodhound) is "needy"--not as bad as Daisy (the springer) was when she came from England, but bad enough...pushy, whiny.

And my husky, after morning exercise, CRASHES dead until evening, when he likes to "play" (reads "harass") Kiowa in the living room. My husband goes to sleep around 7pm to get up at 3am--he counts as the "baby".

So yes on all but one point...BUT, I'll happily trade all of that for the (at one time up to eight) cats we had...every single male of which was a rescue, neutered, despite our lovely big back yard with dog door, nonetheless "marked" all over the place. Never again! Maybe someday, when Jim (hubby) gets over it, ONE cat--female!

So, contrasting all the problems with the dogs versus the one problem with the cats and I say again: Dogs rule!

We have a cat who comes if you open a door or whistle. We never had to teach her that, and we got her as a kitten. She's never lived with a dog.

I used to have a cat who would lick my hand or my face if I was upset. It hurt, but it was the thought that counted.

Most people actually think cats look quite awesome on a leash. Or at least that was the reaction I received when I took a 15 lb maine coon mix to petsmart on a harness and leash (He has to wear a harness for a Jack Russel because he is so large, and Chihuahuas and other toy breeds are usually scared of him).

As someone highly allergic to my family's feline friends, I have become more pro dog. We have a four year old black lab named Nikki (who also answers to Meimei). When I'm out of school and home, I take her everywhere with me as long as it's not too hot for her to stay in the car or tied outside during errands.

She will however not fetch my slippers. Meimei might quite possibly eat them, or drop her squeaky dinosaur in them, but never fetch them. She also won't fetch all day long. After a few rounds she'll look at the ball, allllll the way across the field, turn around and look at me like 'Well, I'm tired. It's your turn."
