If you could only keep one pet. Cat or Dog? If so which one and why?

Cat do make great target practice though. Quick little critters

Point, set, match! Exactly. It's funny how many cat people try to convince you that their cat is just like a dog. How wonderful their cat is because it does things that dogs do. "My cat fetches", "My cat greets me at the door", "My cat watches tv with me", etc. Good one Tmall!!!!

And probably learned from watching a dog.

I never thought about it like that! My first 'real' pet was a cat named Cinnamon. He acted like a dog and I've said that so many times over the years. He would even chase dogs out of our yard.

I have a little white female cat that weighs about 7lbs. She is an ambush attacker. She hides under the sofa and when the dog walks by, she pops out, hisses, slaps the dog around a few times, then runs back under the couch real fast. The dog is sitting there going what the fuck just happened. It's the funniest thing ever.

Our cat does that too, but will do it to humans - mainly my Mom! It's hysterical. Everyone in our family is afraid of the cat here, not the two dogs.

Na.... Wouldn't say that really. Fetching, being personable and happy to see you isn't a canine quality per say... I think anyone who invests time and training into their cat will have good results. Much the same as a dog. Some people have animals "just cuz". For a lot of us, our animals are family members and very important. Cat or dog. A lot of people really care about their animals, not just care for them.

I adore my dog, but he's a lot more money, time and energy to look after than a cat. I don't have to take 2 hours a day to walk a cat. I don't have to have 2 big, orthopedic beds and 4 different vacuum cleaners for a cat.

I wouldn't have had to buy a bigger vehicle to fit a dog and a baby.

I love cats for a lot of reasons why they aren't like dogs...

But I digress....

Hard to choose. They both have admirable qualities as far as I am concerned.
