| I got a kitty named Phoenix. She's nuts. Perhaps because she keeps sleeping on the armrests of chairs and falling off. |

If you think cats are demanding, don't even consider dogs.

I've always found dogs to be worth much more entertainment and good feelingness than cats, though.  |

Originally posted by Xkeeper I concur with this post. The only way good cats can give is good imagery when you're an evil genius, sitting in your lair, stroking you overly pampered cat. There's the hairballs as well, creepy cat ladies, and more. Besides, you can have more fun with a dog. They can save your life. Cats? They'd probably piss on your corpse.  Dogs can be just as cute as cats, too. |

| I had a kitty named Charlie. Turned out I was allergic to him, so my mom got rid of him.
He was pretty screwed up in the head.... which made me love him even more. But luckily for him, he's in Seattle somewhere now, being spoiled and fattened by one of my mom's friends.  |

Originally posted by XkeeperFeh. It depends on how well-socialized they are. We raised Chester and Cookie from the age of eight weeks, and we got them used to kind human attention from the get go. They're now four, and they're very friendly, playful, and attentive. Our cats welcome our companionship. They greet us when we come home and complain when we leave (Cookie follows us to the door and whines), and they like to cuddle or sit near us. Chester is up on my desk headbutting me as I type this. Cookie always finds a way to wedge herself onto Randy's lap when he tries to use his laptop. They're well-behaved, too - they're scratching post trained, and Chester will sit patiently in my arms while Randy clips all of his front claws in one go. I should also mention that Chester plays fetch with his toys. Yeah, there is the occasional hairball, but I really don't mind. The joy of kitty companionship far outweighs the minor inconvenience of picking up a barf log and pouring some Nature's Miracle if said log was on a carpet. |

Cats are more space efficient. You can have your cat jump into bed with you without a problem, but if a big dog tries it, there may be some issues. Plus you don't need to get up at 3AM to let a cat out to pee.  |

Originally posted by HyperHacker 1. If you're that worried about space, make more. If not, then get a cat and don't assume everyone lives in a small apartment or home and is worried about space. Seriously, no one should be that concerned about room. And there are small dogs.
2. You're concerned about being about to sleep with your pets? 3. It's called a doggy door.  |

Originally posted by asdfOriginally posted by HyperHacker There's a few reasons besides living in a small house that this is an advantage. (Also, small dogs are pfft... except puppies of course.) For example...
Ever had a cat jump on your bed in the middle of the night and wake you up? How about a big dog?
Installing a doggy door, putting up a fence to keep the dog from roaming around, setting up some mechanism to keep other animals from getting in through it, and dealing with the heat loss through one of them isn't feasible or even possible for a lot of people (eg those who rent). In any case it's a hell of a lot more convenient to just pour some litter in a box and change it every few days. |

Originally posted by HyperHacker No, no, and I sleep with my door closed. Like I said, if you're worried about a big dog waking you up, you could just get a small one, and even train it some restraint. Originally posted by HyperHacker Most houses come with fences already set up. The heat loss is a valid argument, but the localized problems (e.g. keeping other animals from getting in - that's usually more of a problem in rural areas or places near areas with animals) are no reason for those who aren't affected by such problems to get a cat. Besides, can your cat save you from drowning? It could in theory, but how hard would that be? And would it do so in the first place? (edited by asdf on 10-10-06 12:08 AM) |

| I dunno where you live but in Ontario it seems most houses do not have fences. Squirrels can roam around anywhere, and while doggy door inconveniences may not be a valid reason to choose a cat they are a valid reason not to put in a door. And like I said before, small dogs just aren't the same. (Let's see a poodle save someone from drowning? ) |

| I have two cats. One called Rocket (Male), and one called Princess (Female, obviously)
I also have three dogs, and while I like to play and be around all of them, I am a cat person. I just like cats more. I'm not up for the whole playful nature dogs have (Well, mine to be specific) The only problem with cats is the fact that I have ashtma so I can't keep them inside the house. But even so, I just prefer their presence than the dogs. |

My dog (er, ex-dog -- she died ) would constantly jump on my bed and sleep next to me.
She never woke me up once. Not to mention, some cats very well can wake you up. =P |

| Chester wakes us up on a regular basis. He flops on the pillow while I'm still using it, headbutts our heads, and tries to open drawers (and sometimes succeeds - that cat must be part raccoon because he can get into pretty much anything). Both of them will sleep very quietly with us (they usually burrow under the covers), but when Chester wants attention, we both know it. | |||

| I don't like small dogs. I'd be scared senseless if I wound up with a fully-grown dog that weighed less than my (very fat) cat.
Thankfully, my dogs are much bigger than that. And yes, cats can wake people up when they want to. Just ask my dad, who (back when the cats were locked in the room with them) would be regularly woken up at 6 AM by a cat purring loudly in his ear or walking up and down his side. |
