10 Reasons Why Dogs are Better Than Cats

Posted by draganescu on Oct 28th, 2010 in Pet Animals | 27 comments

Many people think that a cat is more exotic and fancy but I am here to inform you that you shouldn’t believe a word those crazy cat lovers say because dogs make the world go round here are 10 reasons why dogs are better then cats.

1.  You can train a dog better than a cat. Have you ever seen a cat sit on command? Roll over on command? Stay? Neither have I.

2.  Dogs are smarter. Have you ever seen a dog fall into a fish tank? I haven’t either.

3.  A dog can protect your home much better than a cat.

4.   Dogs are better suited to lead you to a more active lifestyle. Have you ever seen anyone walk their cat?

5. There are a lot of things cats will jump up on that dogs won’t. The cat I had for a month would NOT get off my computer keyboard. Dogs won’t do that. I’ve also seen cats up on kitchen counters. Your dog also won’t climb a tree.

6. Dogs are much more fun to play with than cats.

7. 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.

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

9. Dogs are Happy. Dogs think your the best person in the world even if you are grumpy, when you come home from school or work your Dogs will be there licking your face and jumping around and they cant wait to see you, while cats don’t notice if you are there or not as long as they get their food.

10. Dogs Listen. When you talk to dogs they will make faces and tilt there head and try to work out what your saying while cats just meow and walk away.

I hope you agree with the above reasons if you have anything to add to the list or disagree with one of them just comment below.

The dog of the week

           The newfound is an extreme water dog that is great for children. although its a very large dog it doesnt require a lot of exercize, in other words its kinda like a couch potato. this dog will do okey in a apartment but doesnt do well in exstreme heat. but its big double coat makes it a perfect dog for cool climates. so if you want a mellow dog that requires little exercize, loves kids and is a great swimmer the newfy is the dog for you and your family.
