Don't require constant care and attention and don't stare at you drooling like a damn moron. I swear, cats are smarter than dogs by a long shot.

Maybe, you should get a stuffed bunbun then.

You must have very limited exposure to dogs then. Since dogs have been proven to be able to problem solve and can be trained to do everything from detecting cancer to assisting the disabled.

Ok, ok, dog people & cat people, we all know you both want to extend your egos through your choice in pets. Each one has its own benefits. Dogs train well, and cats are generally better in terms of self-maintenance.
This thread can either stay on target with the OP's question, or else it can be about waffles vs pancakes.

Choose? They don't have the ability to be trained for any of those tasks or willingness to learn. Or they're too stupid to learn.

No, they're perfectly capable. Just because YOU are too stupid to train them doesn't mean they're too stupid to learn The fact that a cat can frustrate a trainer to the point of giving up is awesome. A dog trainer pops a few scooby snacks and has that big dumb animal jumping through hoops over and over just to get another little scooby snack. What a dumbass :laugh:

You're making it sound like the ability to learn complex tasks is a sign of a dumb animal. Dogs are social animals and work closely with humans. Thousands of years of evolution led up to this.
Cats are not easily trainable. I think this has more to do with the fact that they're solitary animals, not because they're stupid. But in any case, not easily learning tricks certainly isn't a sign of intelligence in itself. I find that the most stupid argument that cat owners make, especially because you could apply that same logic to anything else that won't learn tricks.
"My pet bug could learn tricks like your slobbering dog, but it's more independent and chooses not to"

If you want a serious reply, it's all about breeds. You'll never see a fucking poodle guiding a blind person. Certain breeds can be trained to do all kinds of shit while other breeds of the same type of animal cannot. Cats have smaller brains than dogs. Some breeds of dog have brains more than twice the size, suggesting they have significantly greater intel.
Big freakin deal. A pet isn't going to be trained to sniff out drugs and bombs at airports you retards. We're talking about pet cats versus pet dogs. Jeez. Way to go, guys. Way to go.
Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on the cats.Originally posted by: LilPima
The thread addresses only cat people.
I like both cats and dogs. 2 kittens, from the same litter especially, will be lifetime playmates. My cats that didn't even grow up in the same home (one in mine, one in my mom's, both males) play chase every day at certain times, take naps together, etc.
