ULTIMATE: Dogs vs. Cats

i just don't know if i can vote

I predict cats in landslide ILX shocka

This is going to be brutal. I predict 5 SB's by dawn

as a lifelong cat owner, anyone who doesn't vote dogs is retarded

huh??

do you not like your kitty?

Cats are better. Dogs arguably do have more personality, but if I want personality I'll find a person. Pets should look pretty and not bother me too much.

That dog video doesn't load.

i love my dang cats u fucken savage, but dogs are just objectively better

nothing is objective in this world, doll

The sarcastic clapping is the best part

Dogs and cats are equally awesome and I resent that this poll does not offer this voting option.

^^^^

Please note that as I hit submit my cat just made the "gonna vomit" meow and did so in the living room.

But on the other hand does not require that I take her out for a walk in the bitter cold + ice.

I vote dogs. They can even be charming while running into walls (as evidenced by the video linked above)! Oh...I'm allergic to cats, too. :/

I had to vote for cats. Dogs are lovely, amazing companions but so much work. You may as well have a kid.

Don't spend the rest of your life fearing commitment.

The real question here is - which animal enjoys licking its own asshole more?

It's a tie.

Try this link.

if it's your dogs they're awesome. if it's the goddamn cletus ass neighbors dogs barkin all the fuckin time that's another q. the neighbors cats on the other hand you can go your whole life without knowing they exist. invisibility is the finest of all superpowers, hence, cats.

dogs like you back, cats just use you and then scratch you before they leave you for good.

my neighbors have like the perfect dog. (these are the beautiful neighbors)

so when i see them walk the dog i think it's very cute but i also get a slight gag reflex

Much better, brights. Thanks. The dog video is funnier, if that's what we're voting on.

dogs do not actually like you back but try telling that to dog owners who can prove dog affection with science

I think the low-maintenance feature of cat-ownership pushes nudges me over the line, though. Dogs are more loyal as companions, sure, and there is a lot to be said for that, but jeez what a hassle for the traveling man (or woman).

As far as this cats-having-less-personality nonsense goes, my two cats have enough various idiosyncrasies & hilarious nervous quirks (making my apartment life a perpetual mismatched-buddy sitcom) to lay waste to said theory. Not that dogs don't have personality, mind you. It's just, you know, different.

on the other hand wild dogs are way more badass than feral cats

Dog love is unconditional, so no, they don't technically love you back. They simply love you whether you love them or not.

Cats are going to win but the correct answer is dogs.

not-goodwin otm

side poll: kittens vs. puppies. I'd have to go with puppies on that one.

PUPPIES definitely.

generally a dog person, but currently have a cat and adore him to bits. so i'm split.

Go with dogs. They're the ones who will most likely need your support amongst this crowd.

haha quite the politician!

The correct answer is:

I have a cat who really really REALLY loves people. As far as I'm aware, she has never attempted to bite a person (and she's afraid of NO people).

fyi, in puppies v kittens, deffo kittens.

went with dogs. i'm sorry logan, nothing personal.

basically ppl who pick cats hate ppl

In my experience with both cats and dogs, the cats are every bit as affectionate and attached as the doggies. I <3 them both, but only a cat can fit into our life at the moment.

As best I can tell puppies require as much time and effort as human infants, therefore <<<<<< KITTENS

nothing wrong with hating ppl

Gukbe, I fear for your safety if your cat finds out about this.

picking cats also means u hate ureself

Logan the cat is currently curled up in a ball across the room. He is clueless at the moment, but when he wakes me up in 4 hours he'll have his vengeance.

I just spent a few minutes playing tugawar with my neighbor's sweet lil pitbitch. It was awesome.

I would also be remiss if I didn't point out the word ultimate contains the word "mutt" but not any word related to cats. IT'S RIGHT THERE IN PLAIN SIGHT PEOPLE!

CATS CATS CATS CATS.

Dogs are stupid, stinky killing machines.

agreed. cats are also stupid, stinky killing machines but they are hilarious and you don't have to walk them.

I was trying to think of a funny name for this dog that would sound something like Michael Phelps, but then I remembered that Michael Phelps isn't a scuba diver. :/

ts: obese cats vs obese dogs

vs the 25 lb fucking panther named 'Big Jake' that fucking scratched me good on sunday when I was showing him to potential adopters at the Humane Society

Cats are cool, but dogs are cooler.

Based on the ones in my neighborhood: Dogs are helpless herd droolers that bark all night when their owners go to sleep or all day and all night when they aren't home for more than .5 seconds. Cats are independent thread winners. :-)

Unless you keep an indoor cat, which is horribly cruel.

why do people think having indoor cats is cruel? every vet/dude at a shelter that has ever mentioned this to me has said that you SHOULD keep them indoors so that they don't get run over/into fights/FIV/whatever.

I have an indoor cat and he basically has the best life ever.

this poll is the toughest since 2pac vs. biggie for me.

that is a badass cat, kf

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I think this could be a big win for cats.

the other day one of my classmates told the story of her 4 year old son going to hug their calm and sweet dog. the dog all of a sudden snapped and took a chunk out of the kids face.
don't vote dog

I love dogs, and had dogs as I was growing up. Em and I want a Tibetan terrier one day, when we have a garden. But for now... Cosmo & Bob.

cats are 99% of the time cute

xxpost: that is a terrific photo, SM.

I know it's ridiculous reasoning, I just want cats to win.
Still, I've had some scary moments involving dogs and never any scary moments with cats

I think this is a US v. UK thing.

All I'm saying is that damning dogs for a few horror stories is a rash move. When I was a kid we had a nearly-feral barn cat that would sit on a cabinet and stalk my little sister, who was a toddler at the time. One time it pounced on her and bit and scratched the shit out of her face and neck. My dad took it outside and put a bullet in it for that, but I'm not going to write off all cats based on that slice of bad behavior.

C'mon dog people vote!!! These cat freaks are going to win if we don't represent.

You're right, I'm just using scare tactics to get more cat votes, i actually do love doggys.
But cats cats cats
another point in favor of cats for me: i've played with cute little baby tigers but never have had the chance to play with baby wolves

The OP dog vid just got played on this week's The Soup.

don't vote dog

Face of Kid?

well, now it's Face of Kid (Minus One Chunk)

don't have kids

:-)

voted cats, despite the fact that one of mine somehow managed to shatter a piece of plate glass last night

I've gone my whole life being made fun of by other guys for liking cats
cats need to win this to prove a point to those bastards

Turtles, how do I get to play with cute little baby tigers too?

countdown to The Revenge of the Cats..

i've met like a hundred people who claim they hate cats. no one ever seems to have any reason, apart from the time they had to take care of an annoying roommate's cat or something.

JD, do you mean "Other," as in the lacanian sense? Just curious.

"Turtles, how do I get to play with cute little baby tigers too?"

find a really amazing and well known vet who works with all sorts of animals
make sure he has a crush on your mother
whenever he gets cool critters in, he will call to invite her and her young children to come see them

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

*purrrrrs*

Justice has been served.

Damn, cats kinda destroyed dogs on this one.

Dogs will eat some child's face off in protest.

Dogs will eat pudding off some child's face.

Dogs will eat anything off some child's face.

yeeeeeeeeeeah cats!!! you earned this one!

i adore both and i'm glad this poll ended before i got around to making a choice.

My wife has been buggin' to get a dog. We have two cats now, and I am really not into worrying about how they'd get along with the particular rottweiler she has her eye on (a rescue doggie). Also, I don't want to pick up its shit in a plastic baggie.
