which popular pet really is man’s best friend??

_{5 reasons why cats are better than dogs… Forget about that slobbery, mangy mutt and step it up to your A game by adopting a furry feline friend.
Here is a pawful of reasons why cats are the purrrfect pets.}

1. They are amazing acrobats.

_{Can a dog dismount off the top of a bookshelf into an Olympic diving 10 point front tuck, all with grace and poise? I didn’t think so.}

2. Cats are great bug repellents.

_{Cats are pretty much the equivalent of Miyagi from The Karate Kid when it comes to catching those pesky flies, and they look super cute while doing it. If you are lucky your feline friend might even present you with the kill as a thank you gift for being such a great caretaker. Cats are thoughtful like that.}

3. They take hygiene very seriously.

_{Dogs just do not know what personal space is. They breathe in your face, slobber on your leg and drag themselves all over your carpet. Cats think you have bad hygiene.}

4. They provide great entertainment.

_{Home alone on a Friday night? All you need is a piece of yarn, a laser pointer and one frisky cat. Goodbye social life.}

5. They don’t take up the bed.

_{Cats are tiny, soft and their purring is therapeutic. Dogs are like having a bad boyfriend. They smell bad, snore, make funny noises and violently kick in their sleep. Not an ideal situation.}

… and 5 reasons why dogs are better than cats!

_{Anytime someone tells me they’re a cat person, I do a double take. “Really?” There is a small part of me that no longer trusts that person. While I believe the reasons dogs trump cats are blatantly obvious, I am more than happy to help a few mistaken “cat people” come to their senses and convert. Heck, at this point I’m more of a dog person than a people person.}

Here are the top five reasons why I am a dog person:

1. I am the master!!!

_{I own the pet. I bought it. I feed it. I care for it. It does not own me. This is flaw No. 1 with cats. Cats act like they can do whatever they want and don’t need to listen to their owners. I am not interested in investing all of my time and money into an animal that is one step away from deliberately disobeying me at all times. A cat is the equivalent of an angst-ridden teenager: Is that appealing to anyone? However, when a dog is trained, it becomes a well-oiled machine of joyful obedience.}

2. LOVE

_{Dogs are always happy and will always love you. No matter how weird or messed up you are, a dog will love you. This is not true for cats—or even humans for that matter.}

3. Quality Play Time

_{One of the reasons I love dogs is being able to play with them. My idea of playtime is roughhousing, playing catch, and going for walks and runs. These are all activities dogs are more than happy to participate in. Trying to do any of these with a cat will most likely end in scratches, a staring contest, or having to physically drag the cat.}

4. Utility

_{Dogs are useful. There are dogs who are more successful than people I graduated high school with. Police dogs. Service dogs. Sled Dogs. Now, name a cat who has saved a person’s life. I realize that not all dogs are like this, but just the fact that the species has this potential amazes me.}

5. Litterbox

_{Who wants a smelly bathroom box in their house? Not me. Dogs don’t need litter boxes. Yes, they need to be cleaned up after, but that’s outside, not in the middle of the house. If cats are so entitled to stay inside, why don’t they just learn how to use the toilet? Just saying.}
