I'm more of a cat person ... but you can't beat a dog for unconditional love. Cats are prissy, they do you a favor by permitting you to pet them. Dogs ... well, they get all squirmy and ecstatic if you happen to glance at them sideways. If you pet them ... you are god. Smiley: tongue

Puppies, every time.

Puppies are work, but they turn into dogs, which are a great pet, in my humble opinion. Social by nature, they need effort to be raised correctly. A good dog is a great joy, but an unstable dog is downright dangerous. You do have to know something when you get one, whereas cats - so long as they had a reasonable youth - are all far more nearly the same. For example, housetraining. Cats fairly well train themselves, but many dogs do need work. The right dog will go hiking and fishing and camping with you and be, not a chore, but a joy. Further, where I am from, dogs get people to interact with each other. Dog parks (fenced areas where people let dogs off the leashes to run around like wild heathens) where I live are great places to meet people. Oh, if I only knew that when I was single. Good dogs are virtually always happy to see you and will rise to your level of activity: active when you want to be and passive when you want to be. If you lead a very active lifestyle, get the appropirate dog or unhappiness will ensue. Cats? Well, they have some personality and I love them, but they are not dogs. Further, good dogs are great personal and property protection and can be friend, companion and some degree of protection for your children.

All things worth having require investment of work, and some planing ahead of time. Although cats require little work or planning the rewards are limited. Your milage may vary, but I'd never live without a dog, perferably a large breed.

A Newfoundland (the dog on the "Big Dog" brand clothes, similar in size to the more familiar Sanit Bernard) inspired Lord Byron to write:

Near this spot
Are deposited the Remains of one
Who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
And all the Virtues of Man without his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery
If inscribed over human ashes,
Is but a just tribute to the Memory of
BOATSWAIN, a DOG
Who was born at Newfoundland, May, 1803,
And died at Newstead, Nov 18th, 1808.

Although perhaps a bit over the top, especially in this day and age, you can get similar sentiment from many dog owners.

Kittens. They don't bark in the middle of the night.

Cats are extremely smart, unfortunately that is usually seen in the way of manipulation and calculating plots, at least with my cats.

Neither. They're both cute and all but I'll take a pet rat anyday. They're smart, you can litter train them, they don't bark, they almost have thumbs. they don't spray all over the place like cats, clean themselves more than cats...they're jsut plain cool

Over both, I'd adore a ferret. They're the perfect mixture of both. But I can't own a ferret...

Puppy. I have one cat and one dog(both are adults now) and I've never felt so loved before I had that goofy little black pup who continues to love me to this day. You can see it in their eyes. My cat has his golden moments, but my dog always has that loving face one =3 Can't argue with that!

I have a rat, hate it. It is so noisy in its cage. I hate dog they bark and they are so stupid. You can say "Stupid dog your a stupid dog." And they well got all happy and stuff. So I love cats. I have 3 of them never had a problem with spraying with my male cat who is now 3 years old and not neuterd, and the two femailes are spayed.

Kittens. Puppies are too much work.

My cats love me. I've got 10 of them.

Puppies, but only because they grow up to be dogs. Dogs are faithful and friendly, and make good companions. Cats (which are older kittens) just run into the basement every time there's company over. That, and they get kind of moody in my experience.

Plus, I have a puppy. Gotta go with what you got.

If you've got a male cat who's spraying all over the place, the problem lies not with the cat, but with the owner.

Take a tip from our buddy, Bob Barker: spay or neuter your pet! If a female goes into heat, or a male cat sprays, it's old enough to be "fixed".

Darn, I thought this thread was about which one would win in a no-holds-barred death match.

In that situation, the kitty would win, of course!

From what I've heard, Bob Barker needs to take his own advice.

Puppies would win in a deathmatch because the kittens couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag, much less a glass bottle...

Kitties have vicious needle like claws with which to scratch out a dopey puppies eyes (though a swat across the nose is usually enough to dissuade said puppy from further attack.)

But both are cute and cuddly.

Puppies, because dogs actually can do something. Dogs protect the house from invaders, most of them. Kittens turn into cats and most of them are lazy.

I have a Doberman, boy, that dog is very strange........

Just want to point out, that if you wait that long, it's probably too late. You really really really want to neuter your male cats *before* they start spraying. Once they do, they'll likely continue doing it even after neutering.
