Everyone is writing about cats. They're the most boring animal next to a turtle. What does a cat do that's so exciting? They shed, they're sneeky, they don't come when you call them, you have to clean their litter box, they scratch everything, they're useless...must I go on?
A dog? Now that's a pet! The greatest animal. A man's best friend. A dog is fun. You can play with a dog, dress him/her up, they bark if someone is near your house, they cuddle, you can brush them, dogs have personality and dogs are energetic. When you come home no matter what happened that day a dog will always greet you with a wagging tail and sounds of joy.
My sister has a cat that looks human. It's scarry. When I go to her house I have to wear a white nurses outfit because the cat hair gets all over my clothes. People are allergic to cats. Cats smell and cats hide.
When was the last time you took your cat for a walk or took him on a car ride? When you do your gardening, bbq'ing, washing your car or getting the mail...does your cat come with? A dog is loyal. A dog is rewarding. A dog can be a hero.
The only time I would get a cat is if I had mice in my house. Cat urine stinks and I want no part of it.
Call me when you get a real animal...a dog!

Hey Pam, I love dogs. I just don't think I can eat a whole one by myself.

I'm not writing to defend cats because I love dogs, but I must introduce you to an unusual cat - Fraidy. He comes when I call him, especially if I sing.
He's loving and affectionate but mean enough to keep the baddies away. My sign doesn't say "Beware of Dog", rather it says, "DO NOT underestimate the CAT". He keeps two 90 lb black lab mixes at bay at the end of our driveway. Ask my neighbor, she stands there laughing hysterically. He has never had an accident in the house in all his 13 years and usually goes outside if I'm home, so not much litter box cleanup. When I go out to do the gardening, he goes with me, kills pesky moles, chases moths, and sits beside me when I rest on the parkbench with a cold drink. If I'm gone for a week I simply leave enough food and water,sprinkle treats around the house for him find, and fill the birdfeeders so he has something to watch. Pretty good cat. Ok, I guess that did sound a bit defensive! But I like dogs, too!
