Why Cats are simply "better" than Dogs!
This is not meant as a serious thread, but seeing as we have had the dogs chase cat thing, Ill point a few "facts" out.
Cats are better than dogs because:
1. They take seconds, not weeks to house train. You just show them a tray with litter in it, and at just 4 weeks old they use it, without accidents, and they always cover it up afterwards.
2. They are content left for many hours during the day. While the dog may trash the house and bark and howl, the Cat will simply sleep, and will be grateful he can get several of the 20 out of 24hrs sleep he requires in one go, without interruption!
3. A dog needs regular exercise, this is not necessary for Cats, they prefer a stroll and a wander for a few minutes occasionally, or if you can wake them up, they may decide to exert themselves "Playing" for several seconds.
4. Dogs nails need clipping, not Cats! They have perfectly formed retractable weapons that hide perfectly from view, they require no clipping.
5. Dogs eat furniture. Cats do not, however, with the aforementioned "weapons" in mind, Cats are "green" and recycle items when they can. For sharpening claws so they do not require clipping like a dog would, they use already existing equipment like table legs and sofa ends for such chores. They make use of whats available without having to put their owners to extra expense.
6. Cats provide free "alternative" and "natural" therapies for their owners. These include, acupuncture, massage and ex-foliating "washes." The Cat will rest upon you (very gently) then massage you calmly, providing you with a soothing massage after a day at work. They often do sound effects too, purring sounds designed to relax you. When massage is not enough, it extends to acupuncture, only the "needles" do not remain in your skin! They have a superb tecnique of "in and out" while at the same time providing the massage I mentioned earlier, Cats can MULTI-TASK- MALES TOO!
If you are very lucky, your Cat will give you a short exfoliating wash. Its reserved for special occasions though, so if you experience this you are most fortunate. Dogs do not provide any of these beneficial treatments, except for licking, which is quite disgusting as they often spend their time outdoors eating faeces that other animals left behind! A Cat would NEVER do such a thing!7. Dog, plain and simply get in the way. They get in the way of the remote signal when you are lying on the sofa, they get in the way when you want to move from room to room because they are usually stuck in the doorway. They also have an uncanny knack of getting up as you step over them, often resulting in spillage of some description! Cats on the other hand, prefer a high sleeping point. They do this so their owners have a clear view of their home at all times and they will not be distracted or hindered should they wish to change channel or make a coffee.
8. You keep your Cat indoors till its 6mths old, the previous week you removed either its uterus or its testicles, and then you turf it out and close the door! The Cat will be gone off your property for many hours, but will return unaided by itself without sat nav or the dog warden that same day! The dog on the other hand will have undergone extensive "recall" training and may have lived with you for 10yrs, but the second it can get past your legs, it gone!! Never to be seen again!
And they say Dogs are loyal!
So there are just a few points for you to consider.

Agree with all the above, I adore both my dogs and my cats. But, there are definitely more pluses to owning a cat or two, and they don't get in the way like certain other big hairy animals in the house
I know, I am going to end up the old cat lady, with maybe one small dog

The cat's definitely the smarter one in this equation.
She does do a cracking back massage though - I tend to sleep on my front and she tends to jump onto my back and start kneeding between my shoulder blades

Cats rule
No jumping up to go on walks
No mud in car issues
and always pick the warmest spot and dogs act as draught excluders
Love my dogs too
