subject: Cats Vs. Dogs Which Side Are You On? [print this page] For over a time, people who have pet dogs would say that they have the best pets ever. People who have pet cats on the other hand, would also say that their pets are better. In fact, this cats-versus-dogs thing has been going on for quite some time now, to the point that there has been a movie revolving on the rivalry between cats and dogs. Generally, there are certain advantages in having one of these great animal friends.
Cats are clean. While it is true that cats are afraid of water and would not even take a bath, they are actually clean animals at home. If you have noticed a cat outside the confines of the home, it would usually poop on soil or grass and would cover it right after. On the other hand, dogs dont do this. They would poop and leave their dirt out in the open.
Some cat lovers love the ability of cats to jump from a high elevation and land on four feet. Whether they jump from the top of the roof of a bungalow house, or from the second story of the house, cats would always land of their four feet, without getting hurt in the process. This is actually where the saying cats have nine lives came from.
While cats may have some great characteristics, they however cannot protect a home. They are meant to stay indoors and not outdoors. Unlike dogs that can bark at strangers, attack them if necessary, cats cant do this. Dogs, with the help of some dog treats, can always stand guard at night and make you feel secure.
Dogs are also really good companions. When you jog in the morning, you can simply tie a leash on your dogs neck, and you would have a loyal companion running with you no matter how far. Your dog would also protect you when it senses that you are under attacked. All you need to bring with you as you do your morning jogs are some dog treats that your dog loves.
While having a cat or a dog at home presents some advantage and disadvantages, it cannot be denied that having a pet at home is awesome. You just need to care for them in a special manner, by giving them a cat or dog treat at times, so that they become happy and be the pets that you want them to be.
