after thousands of years, the issue is here again. the question that will survive even if only 2 men will stay alive. this is the argument that broke families, start wars, and had more lives than company of cats.
what do you prefer: cats or dogs?

Otherwise: monkeys.

Cats are funny but they can be selfish. Dogs are more loyal and you can bring em along (certain types though) with ya if you're going hunting. I like dogs better. :D

I love both cats and dogs. I think I like cats just a bit more, because you can leave out a large bowl of dry food and a huge bowl of water, and leave for the weekend, and the cat will be just fine, whereas, the dog would eat all the food in one sitting then piss on the carpet, just like my dog does. :D

I actually prefer Dogs!
Cats are great, but Dogs are so much nicer, friendlier, and more loyal!
My final answer: Dogs.

By the way, even though this is my first post as MP II, this is actually my tenth of ELEVEN ACTIVE NATIONS........

My original, Matrixios, which I created on May 15th 2003, is still going.......
and is still an awesome nation........ And yes, dogs are the best!

Depends on the sauces and garnish you use. Some cats go very well with white wine and are an excellent with green vegetables.

Dog is more like your basic beef, so potatoes and beer are a very good choice.

Well, I have nothing against cats, I just like dogs better, especially the cuter ones. My girlfriend has a Wheatin Terrier and it's the friendliest thing you'll ever meet.

The Empire of Presidency has the oldest question in the world...
"Which came first the chicken or the egg?"

this is not the question. the question is why someone start to think on that, when he could eat them and forget this question?

Dogs are better. At least they know who their masters are.

Cats, what the hell can you do with cats? Your just picking up their poo and laying them down their food. Who's the master there? :D

As a famous dutch biologist said: Dogs have masters, Cats have staff.

Cats over dogs any day, when its wolves vs cats the call is a lot closer though.

Why isn't there an Other option?
In my house, the cats and dogs, (er- & myself. . .) exist for the amusement of the ferrets.
Best pet ever- Ferrets, in my book. Independent but not arrogant. Affectionate but not overly so. Mischevious and smart enough to keep you wondering what they are up to in long moments of silence. . .
Some are even so loyal (I had one) who insists on "defending" you from strangers and newcomers. Fortuantely, they are small enough to cage when needed.

Actually, that quesiton is fairly recent. Neither was used as a "pet", per se, for quite a while. Dogs were also dometicated earlier than cats, excpet perhaps in a few places such as Egypt. But dogs were, by far, more useful for the practical needs of the day.

Cats. Dogs are gross and annoying and infuriatingly clueless.

Cat, dog...it doesn't matter to me provided they can learn to use and flush the toilet.

Cats have much stronger wills. And they're into the sadism. No contest.

Orangutans are way better than monkeys.

I like dogs better. Our family has a cat. It is always demanding stuff, and never giving anything back.
At least dogs give stuff back.
Cats always want something, if it's not food then it's water. If it's not water then they want to go out. If they don't want to go out then they want to come in.
Dogs are happy just being with you.

Cimpanzees 0wn orang-hutans. But y'know what's even better? Ants! Read Empire of the Ants by Bernard Werber for proof.
