Some people think cats are better than dogs, but dogs are the finest when it comes to having pets. Although dogs cause a great deal of destruction and headaches, they are filled with love and joy. I have a five-year-old, bulldog, Dakoda, and the way he treats my family and me is incredible. He is clever, loving, and protective which generally dogs are. When I saw Dakoda at the SPCA I knew he was going to be the perfect pal for me, I had to adopt him. Chloe, 7-year-old, black and white American Shorthair cat, on the other is independent while having a calm, loving behavior. Chloe was just a kitten when I found her, she was a stray living on my grandparent’s farm, so I took her in. Although both my pets showed affection, they varied in their behavior and the care they acquired.
Both Dakoda and Chloe are very affectionate. Koda shows his affection towards my family and I by licking my face, jumping up and down when he someone, constantly following us around the house, takes over the entire bed when sleeping, and whining when we leave. Whenever Dakoda sees me his tail starts wagging and gets happy. Nevertheless, cats can’t show affection like dogs do, Chloe, still shows just as much affection through rubbing her head on my legs, purring constantly and jumping on my lap every chance she could acquire.
However, throughout all the similarities, they do have differences in behavior. Since I adopted Dakoda, it took a few months for him to get settled into the house and get used to my family and me. Today he is so much happier and living a better life than at the SPCA and his action show it. While being defensive; barking at anyone that enters my house, he also, does not like when my family leaves him, he jumps up and down, barks, scratches and bites. He’s also hyperactive and is constantly running around the house playing with his stuffed animals, frequently tearing apart pillows, chewing up toilet paper rolls, and scraping the hardwood floor with his nails. Despite his actions, his cute chubby face makes up for it. Around kids he is decent however, he loves to jump when trying to play. He can always be found sitting near the dinner table pleading for table food. While Chloe is calm. She is not protective. She is
Whether it is an inside cuddle buddy, or an outside mice killer, cats make wonderful pets. While dogs stay dirty, drool, and bark, cats clean themselves, are clean animals, and meow quietly. Cats are warm and fuzzy and love to cuddle while they take naps. Dogs are too rambunctious and energetic. Cats make better pets than dogs.
One of the dog’s best advantage is that according to the article, ”they can be trained to protect your home, keeping it safe from harm.”(Anonymous) The dog’s ability to defend it’s owner alone justifies it as the better option for many every household from the frail elderly to the budding family. Furthermore the cat cannot adequately guard its household, and may even disregard its owner’s property and viciously destroy furniture as mentioned
They are also terribly ungrateful, showing no thankfulness whatsoever if they are given special treatment of some sort. They just generally assume that any special treatment is nothing more than what they deserve. Cats are overly independent as well, and enjoy pretending that they don’t need you or anyone else. Cats should definitely not be considered your best friend.
While dogs and cats are a lot alike, you have to consider their differences before you choose your pet. As mentioned before cats do not require cleaning nor exercising or training, while dogs are in need of all these things. If you want to raise a pet then, try to manage your time before you choose your best
One of the most debated arguments to this day would have to be that cats are better than dogs. Did you know that more people own cats than dogs? In the US, 95.6 Million people own cats compared to the 83.3 million who own dogs. This speech will state why cats are smarter, cleaner, easier to look after and are also beneficial for your health, such as lowering your blood pressure and lowering your cholesterol.
Would you rather have a pet that is messy and needy or a pet that is clean
Another difference between cats and dogs is their social interactions. Dogs are more of pack animals. Members of their pack or family are very critical to them. They look for a
They like to be patted and praised and demonstrate their own affection by slobbering all over their owners after any separation lasting more than fifteen minutes.
Thank you for adding Maya to your pack. She'll love and adore the humans, especially the ones who offer belly rubs and massages; or whoever has the best food. But I can't say the same about cats.
Dog was the goofball, and Cat was pessimistic and selfish. Seems pretty accurate to how the real cats and dogs are, huh?
Dogs need more attention than cats. They can
Coming from an owner, dogs and cats are somewhat different, but also same. Dogs will wake up just to play with you. The part that is my favorite, is that they can be your best friends. Blue was mine. They will stick around for you. There are police dogs, firemen dogs, and
I have been raising Roscoe since he was a puppy and I realized that there isn't much of a difference between the two. They both rely on you to feed them, clean up after them, and love them, they also whine and have accidents. However, a human child will grow up, and be able to take care of themselves while a dog will always rely on you. That is a lot of responsibility that, unfortunately, not a lot of people can handle, which leads to neglect, however, that is a different essay. I wasn't a very good dog trainer when I got Roscoe, so I didn't house train him correctly and I barely was able to teach him to sit. However, I always fed him twice a day, tried to give him daily walks, and cleaned up the yard after him. Having a dog has taught me to be responsible which gives Roscoe that much more sentimental value. He is not just valued by my found sense of responsibility, he Is also my best
I know the biggest discussion when you are about to get a new pet is; am I a cat person or dog person? I’m about to solve your confusion. 62% of United States homes have at least one pet. Overall, homes that claim to have pets 78 million of them are dogs and 86 million are cats. These numbers are misleading, according to a survey in the Reader’s Digest 41% identified that they were cat people where as 74% were dog people (Reader’s Digest). My sister is a major dog person she can’t live without them some days. Her latest addition to the family is a Vizsla puppy named toby. According to her the nick name of this breed is a Velcro dog, it’s loyal to a fault and whimpers at the sight of you walking away. Then my mom would never admit it but I
Cats are not better pets than dogs. Have you ever had that intriguing question about whether you should get a dog or a cat as your new family member. Here are some reasons why you should always choose to adopt a new dog, not a new cat. You will get more exercise from owning a dog. When I go outside to bike, often my mom will follow me to get our dog exercise, but this technique will help my mom in the long run, because even if her motive is to wear my dog out, she’s also getting exercise and getting healthier. Dogingtonpost says it is recommended that you walk your dog at least 15 minutes, twice a day. Mayoclinic says to aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. These two times equal each other so if you walk your dog for the necessary amount each day, then you yourself will also get the necessary amount of exercise daily. Dogs are a lot easier to train. When dogs were first bred as wild animals they would follow their pack leader, when domesticated their leader becomes their human. When you train a dog it becomes bonded to you, but cats, not so much. Cats are more independent when it comes to relationships. “Because cats have no notion of duty, service, or pack behaviour. In other words, doing something for the sake of something else, or someone else, than themselves.” Says Nuno Desa. Dogs come in more shapes and sizes. Whether you are looking for a big dog, a small dog, a hypoallergenic dog, or just a friendly dog, chances are you won’t have to much
