Why do people like cats better than dogs?
-
Well, I suppose I have a minor insight into why people would adapt more to a cat than to a dog, but under my terms I still see cats as ignorant sly creatures. I think people who only invest in cats lack exercise, and the understanding of nurturing. When I asked people why they liked cats, the majority of answers I received was relative to actually putting some effort in their day to day life, i.e 'My cat is independent, I don't need to let her out in the mornings like I would a dog', the words of pure ignorance right there. I'm starting to think people only put their love into cats because they have to do less commission, not because you do actually love them. Sad really. And, when I asked if you would feel more safe with a cat or a dog, again the majority of answers were dogs.. Dogs are more suited to help people, ie. Guard dogs, Guide dogs ect.. They can also help with Autism, something that is relative in my case. So, other than telling me how much you don't have to do for your cat, you might want to tell me otherwise.

Answer:
I wonder why you wrote all this, was it to wind up cat lovers or to get dog lovers to agree with you ? In all it seems a pointless exercise. There are dog lovers and there are cat lovers. I personally am a cat person but it would take endless reams of paper to explain to someone who is a dog person the reason why, so I wouldn't even begin. You have had a cat, I have had dogs all my life, and cats, I prefer cats and they attach themselves to me too. I think you have to be in tune with cats before they will trust you, a dog will trust its owner without question. You never "own" a cat, they own you, dogs have owners cats have staff. You are a dog person, that's clear, each to their own......

Well, dogs are smelly, obnoxious, stupid and high maintenance. Cats are clean, sophisticated and gentle. But I can understand your bias because service dogs are typically used to aid the treatment of infantile autism.

simple: cats don't stink and they don't bark all night at their own shadow. cats are perfection, covered in soft fur.

People might like cats more because yes, they are very self-sufficient and they might not have the time to care for a dog. Not all cats are non-loving creatures. Like people they want to be left alone sometimes, wanting affection whenever they want it. Cat people, like dog people, think highly of their cats by saying oh, my cat cleans herself and she doesn't slobber all over me and poops in a litter box all by herself so I don't have to drag her outside. Contrary to popular belief, cats actually love their owners. They don't show it by running up to you when you walk in the door but when you are sitting down by jumping on your lap and purring like some sort of motor. All in all (sorry for this long rambling answer) people like cats just because they do.

You obviously had a bad cat. They're just like dogs when it comes to personality. Search "Maru the cat" and tell me you still don't think cats are fun. Personally, I adore my kitty. She's cuddly and fun and all of the dogs on our street are terrified of her because she is a bamf. :) The problem is that you're asking why people like cats more than dogs, not why they like THEIR cat more. Asking generic questions will get you generic answers.

Cats need less attention, and there's more selfish single lonely people than generous people with partners.

It is a matter of choice cats or dogs Either you are a dog person or a cat person I love my 3 cats, they have cute little quirks, like grunting, chasing me, sleeping on my bed or attacking my arm, or talking all day. ------------------ 20 years ago, I had a Doberman Pincer, got her when she was 6months old, I loved every little detail about her, I love her graceful looks, her barks, her shine, they way she walked and protected my daughter, they grew up together. Then my son was born, I loved the way she guarded and licked him, she would bark up a storm when he needed attention. If she was still alive, I would have both my cats and my doby under one roof. ----------------------------- I LOVE CATS AND DOGS

I was always a dog person and still am very much in love with dogs but when I moved out of my parents house and into my new house my landlord wouldnt let me get a dog so needing an animal around I got a cat. I soon found them to be every bit as loving as dogs. They sleep on my bed, welcome me excitedly when I get home, lick my forehead in the morning to get me up (though this is quite painful in comparison to when a dog does it). Now I have four cats. Now I live in a house that would allow dogs and I would very much like a dog again but my working hours don't allow it anymore. I do miss being able to go for morning and evening walks with the dog like I'd done at my mums house but thats the only downside at the moment. I love my cats though. They are like babies to me.
