Cats are cuter, and they do their own thing. They pur, they snuggle against you, they bring you animals they killed... what's not to love?
My "fantasy world" is but a bitter reality of which you do not wish to be a part of, out of fear of being wrong. Join us.
Join you? For what purpose? Dogs are, without a doubt, the superior animal. Dogs are descended from the beautiful and majestic wolf. Cats, on the other hand, are descended from common African wildcats.
In my opinion I find dogs generally a lot more approachable than cats. That's not to say that there aren't some mean dogs out there... Cats are better viewed... at a distance while I can readily cuddle with nice dogs. Of course, I find both of them amusing as pets.
No, nothing like Smilodon. The modern housecat, Felis catus, traces it's lineage to the African wildcat, Felis silvestris lybica. Felis catus. Felis silvestris lybica.
When dogs purr, I'll get one. Seriously, I like all animals, pretty much equally, but my living arrangements favor cats at the moment. So I broke the tie.
Dogs are furry friends that are blindly loyal and want to hog all your time. Cats are like that one freeloading roommate that mooches food off of you and never leaves the house and is always naked. Except with cuddly warmth. Cats 1 : 0 Dogs.
