I'm allergic just a TEENY BIT too..
For example, my friend has a cat, and it is no problem to cuddle that cat - as long as the cat wants to and you are willing to go towards the cat. My dog is always up for cuddling, and she comes to me, not me to her. And the dog is just... well, more human, more understanding in a way. I never heard of a cat who watches tv with you, bounces happily whenever you come home, loves you for every word you say... for me it is a dog.
Guess I am just spoiled by having one...
PS: And you can't take a cat to bed with you in the long cold winter nights!

dogs are awesome cause they show that they love you and they have emotions that youre pretty much always aware of. cats sit and watch the world go by. if i wanted a cat, id get a plastic one, and it would be cheaper and about as effective.

I would really appreciate it if this thread didn't turn into a flamewar.

Also... cats suck. If you died, and just for the day after you died you could travel around and "visit" the things that you were involved in during your life, you could see your dog depressed as fuck because you're gone, but a cat? It'll be playing with your toetag. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate cats, but if I don't have to be around one then I'm gonna be around one.

Cats are much better IMHO because they don't run up and jump on you and slobber everywhere and they're much cleaner too. It's like dogs have no shame or something :]
Cats will just sit with you and let you pet them and purr quietly, it's so great

However, I would be much more inclined to get a cat while living in the city. I couldn't live with having a big dog locked up in an apartment... I suppose there's the option of a little shih tzu or something, but I'd probably get drunk and punt it into my TV set... just out of habit.
Oh, and, cheers! I'm 1337 today!!!

yeah, dogs are, i think, dirty. and tend to make a house smell...unclean.
plus you can too have your cat sleep with you on those cold winter nights. my cat stays with me every night, or at least until i go to sleep. then it wakes me up in the morning. it's much more enjoyable, again i think, to wake up to a cat than that annoying alarm sound.

FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID WHORE BITCH. I BET YOU TAKE IT IN THE ASS EVERY NIGHT FROM YOUR MOM!!!!! AND SHES TAKING IT IN THE ASS FROM YOUR GERMAN SHEPARD!!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!! AND THEN THE DOG IS JUST GETTING IT OFF UNGH UNGH UNGH UNGH RUFF RUFF!!!!! STOP BEING SUCH A FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL FORUM NAZI!!!!
on a slightly less capitolized note, stop being a forum nazi. one you post the topic, it is not yours anymore. its detnets. that means you dont decide who gets to say what, you dont control the flow of the conversation(unless you subtley(sp?) bring it back on topic) you are not in control. think of it as going public with your company, except its a question. after you go public, you cant demand everyone to sell their stocks back to you because you dont like how theyre running the company. if we choose to talk about having sex with goats while humping your mom and getting high with a crack cocaine substance while having an awesome conversation with the devil, thats our perogative. SO STOP TELLING US WHAT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR STUPID SON OF A WHORE SLUT WHO TAKES IT IN THE ASS FROM RONALD REAGAN EVERY NIGHT!!!!

Hey whiskey, if you're going to be off topic, than you may as well be off topic. Do you know anything about the land-warrior systems that the army has now? Are they special forces only?
therefore, cats are smarter.

i think you've said enough PG
It’s hard to say which one is smarter. I have seen a dog do things FAR dumber as well as FAR smarter then something that a cat would do (probably because cats don’t do anything). But, I have also managed to teach my cat to come to a whistle, so they too can be taught.
But the question here was about FRIENDSHIP. And as a friend, I would rather have a dog. With a dog, you have someone who you can rely on, someone you can trust and who will trust you, and someone who really loves you. Dogs are soulful and in a way childlike... having a dog is like having a kid, my mom always says.

I have a kitten, Roary, (she is 5 months old-almost 6 now) and she is a hugh pain in the butt but I love her to death. When I come home she is waiting at the door for me. When I sit down she sits on top of me and crawls up to my face and nudges me.
Cats are far nicer animals than dogs are.
I think of cats like an answering machine- you call they take a message and get back to you. I like that I don't have to take her out for walks or train her not to go on my carpet. She has a sweet little voice (though she insists on waking me every day at 7:30am - weekends too)and when she purrs it makes me smile cause I know she loves me!
This is the second kitty Ive had. The first one (Rainbeau) I got when I was 5 years old- he died when I was in Australia - two weeks before I came home. My mom told me in the hotel in AZ (I was very sad)- He was the BEST cat ever- never scratched- meowed only to go out and for food- never hissed or bit anyone. I miss him :/
I think a guy who likes cats more than he likes dogs shows that he doesnt need to be attended to every 5 minutes (in other words they dont need attention all the time)- though thats true for some and not for others. I think its cute when a guy has a cat over a dog. Dunno why.

my cats have never scratched up anything in the house, except things specifically designated as their toys. they do shed, but so do a lot of dogs. they're much quieter than dogs, they don't have to be washed, and i've never gone out in my yard and had to look carefully so i didn't step in a cat poop.
also, never seen a cat eat its own or any other cat's vomit or shit. seen dogs do that.
dogs are ok, just not those little tiny ones like poodles and shit. german shepherds, rottweilers, great danes, etc are nice dogs. especially if they don't bark a lot. but i prefer cats. even when they leave a dead little surprise on the porch.

Actually you just perfectly described a dog right there.
And it's not like if you leave for a week you have to find someone to look after your cat because it's too stupid to take care of itself. WTF is with that?
If you leave a weeks food in a dogs bowl, it will eat it all in one day and die? Now THATS intelligence.
BTW a few months ago I got wasted in my friends house and puked in his entryway (sorry!), but anyway, his dog comes over and ATE IT ALL UP! hahahah

Who told you that? I have one of those big ass feeder things that holds a 30 lbs bag of food. My dogs don't eat till it's gone. They eat when they're hungry.

Well, Frosty, I'm glad you asked.
Just the other day I was visiting < this site >, and stumbled across this blurb:
quote:
Joint Contingency Forces Advanced Warfighting Experiment...at Fort Polk, La. Soldiers of 2nd Platoon, C Company, 3rd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, Fort Bragg, N.C., will be wearing and using Land Warrior in a night parachute assault jump, a night assault on an urban area, a nighttime live-fire attack on an urban facility and a night live-fire ambush.
As far as I can tell, the only group using the LandWarrior prototypes are this JCF AWE training group...not even the Special Forces are, at least in any "official" sense. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what becomes of it.
Oh, and while we're grievously off-topic, would you mind telling me how you chose your nick, Frosty?
but i'd rather have a hamster. they just...rock

Cats are smarter and dirtier.
Dogs are more adtive and dependent.
At times I'd rather have a dog to ressle with... but I think I'd go with a cat, because they can become very satisfying companions if you treat them right.
hehe... I'm not going to explain myself any further than that... I don't have the time.

As for my nick, i'm not really sure. It started as a Counter-Strike name of just "Frost" which then evolved into Frost Sabre. (since Frost is fairly common) This was too long for some people and the nickname Frosty just ended up popping out. I think originally I may have watched Aliens too many times. But i'm not sure.

Note, I would kill the neighbors dogs, but it was my dog that got in their backyard. I do, however, stand my ladder up against the fence, climb up, and piss on their dogs from time to time.

I know a guy who did that to an annoying dog across an alley behind this house where we were partying. It was a chainlink fence, and it sure shut the dog up.
I don't dislike dogs in general, just the select few that annoy me. Like those that aggressively defend an area way beyond the proper bounds of their property. Like those that chase cyclists. (A lot fewer of those incidents in the city, thank God.) Or one that lived next door to my house in Maryland. He thought the border was across our driveway where the grass rises up.
To properly deal with the dog, sometimes it's easiest to explain things to them in a way they understand. So on New Year's Eve 1999-2000 after I got back from the party, I emptied my bladder into an empty milk jug and topped it off with water. Then I proceeded to redefine the territorial border. Saw him outside the next morning sniffing up and down the row. Btw, the recommended strength for doing that is a cup per gallon, but I figured it couldn't hurt to make it a little stronger. 
And on the flip side, we have a cat that lives in a box outside the house. It just showed up one Christmas Eve. During the winter we keep a food dish outside, but during the summer he does a good job of getting his own food, especially chipmunks.
He also loves to go next door and heckle the neighbor dog. He doesn't fight him, just walks on the lawn to make him bark and run around a bit, then he smugly walks back to our side.
Officially, he's my little brother's pet. The cat shows the most attention to him. For a kid, this cat is the perfect pet because if he forgets to feed him for a little while, the cat just gets his own food. The cat (who to this day has no official name) also crosses the state highway in front of the house to the woods every day to hunt.
And I'll save my story about one of those bike-chasing dogs who finally paid for some other time.

I know, but I'm a sucker for dogs. All my dogs were rescued from the animal shelter. I have 5 dogs, which is the legal limit in my county. Otherwise I'd have more.

Once, the cat crawled underneith a railing upstairs and fell 10 feet to the floor below. Dumbass.
The last day we owned the cat, the damn thing got on my bed, perched himself, and pissed a full load on my blanket. My mom grabbed the cat, and overhand tossed it through the front door. Never saw him again. Fucking psycho cat.
My dogs rule, however. Great hunters, and they really enjoy it. I used to go roller blading with Angus. He loved it, but now they live in the country, so he gets to hunt for exercise. They are very smart dogs. You can get dumb breeds of dogs, you can get smart breeds of dogs. All cats are the same: fucking psychos.
