a cat has never, ever, contributed to getting laid and frequently gotten in the way, the most anyone is about cat people is neutral

dogs, on the other hand, make people flock to you, you take a cute dog outside and everyone's your friend

edit: feeding poodles to wild animals is something i can get behind

Also dogs can be chihuahuas, but cats cannot. Chihuahuas are the worst.

Well cat brain parasites toxoplasmosis increases testosterone , sex drive and make people more risk-taking.


Any goon who has mysteriously shedded their crippling shyness or video game addiction to get laid has inadvertently ingested cat litter and have brain parasites to thank.

Cats are, in fact, completely responsible for our one night stand culture.

The sad thing is that dogs won't live much longer after the inevitable extinction of humankind. Cats will live through the apocalypse, and probably thrive.

Nah a cat is more likely to come and vomit on your pillow at 3 am. Also what do you have against poodles? Standard poodles have some of the best personalities.

Your dog doesn't give a poo poo about you. I've looked after tons of dogs for people and the second their owner is gone they immediately start acting like the new person giving them food has been their best friend forever. Cats are at least honest about you being their servant and don't need to be kiss-rear end yes men.

When my mom and I have gone on vacation in the past, dad says that our dog gets all withdrawn and depressed, and he also becomes visibly (and vocally) distraught if there's any sort of inter-family conflict.

Granted, this probably doesn't apply to all dog breeds and also likely depends upon the dog's relationship with their owner/family.

You made a good choice. I'm sure if the tables were turned and they had the same resources, they would have done this also.

The dog would have paid for your treatment, the cat would have let you slip quietly into the night.

My understanding of chihuahuas is that they only like one person and most other chihuahuas, and hate everything else. Can anyone confirm/deny?

My friends have a chihuahua/beagle cross and it's an rear end in a top hat. Their cats are much better.

My little sister has a chihuahua/terrier mix. Mostly chihuahua. It's actually a very nice dog but it barks at a loving penny dropping and if anyone vaguely scary to her dog brain tries to pet her, she'll piss on the floor.

When people think of poodles, they imagine the fancy show hair cut and think of a stuffy spoiled dog. When in reality most poodles are very smart, loving, and fun. And we don't cut the hair like the movies.

I'm mostly just joking since this is a pet owner MINE IS THE BEST thread and that's fun but serious talk we had a dog that got real sad when my dad wasn't around since it liked older men. Also we had a cat that was generally an aloof jerk but if you were visibly sad she would change her attitude and come be very affectionate until you felt better. Pets are weird but awesome.

Horses really are terrible. My family has a history with horses and they're the dumbest, most stupid animals in existence. Their main purpose in life is to seemingly give up and drop dead at the drop of a hat. If they walk into a a river that's above an arbitrary level they'll just give up and die.

My housemate has a tiny yippee poodle that nips at your feet and barks at everything. She also dresses her in dog skirts and puts silk flowers on her ears to make them look like pigtails. I want to do some psychotic butcher poo poo to this dog because I hate it so much.

But I've never encountered a full size poodle. I'm told that they're pretty cool. Also, horses are dumb animals. Source: my rancher friends at home in Wyoming.

On one side you have retarded degenerate wolves that got too lazy to hunt and evolved to forage in human trash

On the other you have still functional semi-domesticated predators that can revert back to felis silvestris in a few days


One kind has to be trained in order to fetch dead birds that have been shot by a human, the other can hunt birds on its own

Even when they aren't just up and dying for no reason they're still liable to just flip the gently caress out for literally no reason at all. I did not own horses, but growing up in a tiny village surrounded by farms many of my friends did, and I'd get roped into helping take care of the horses my friends' parents, siblings, or extended family owned. All the time while mucking out a stall I'd turn around to see a horse standing still, thinking no thoughts, and then out of nowhere start bucking and running around in a blind panic while the other horses just stared at their companion act like it was on fire with blank incomprehension on their stupid horse faces. I can only surmise that a horse's mind is an empty void filled briefly with flashes of madness that would put HP Lovecraft and HR Giger to shame.

gently caress horses, and gently caress people that love horses. How humanity survived for thousands of years with horses as our main means of transportation is a mystery.

Dogs are awesome and I'd love to own one but I don't think I'm at home enough to really care for one and I don't have a nice garden it can play in. So I have an idiot cat that is always waiting by the door when I get home and follows me about and is really affectionate. Also I like that I could die any time and he'd be fine because he could just eat my tasty face meat and survive where a dog would just mourn me like an idiot and starve to death.
