Which are cuter, puppies or kittens?

Poll coming.

puppies are only cute until they poop on your rug, or chew up your Jimmy Choos

kittens are cute all the time

I vote kitty:p

I'm a dog person, so I tend to prefer puppies to kitties.

baby penguins - it's as though puppies and kittens had _babies_[/quote] :p

dogs are evil i vote kittens

I like 'em both the same.

On a side note, my kitten weighs 16 pounds! :eek:

Personally I think both are delicious!;)

kittens, by a loooong way :)

Definitely kittens all the way! :D
Puppies are just bleh :rolleyes:

Whatever, they're both satisfying to kick.

Puppies. My Jack Russel was absolutely adorable when he was a puppy.

Kittens don't faze me. I just dislike cats in general - they have an air of arrogance about them, don't give a shit about their owners and are far stupider than dogs. A dog is a real companion - it is a social animal and sees the family it is the pet of as a pack, which it has loyalty to. Cats on the other hand are supposed to be independent - it's not natural for them to be in a social group and it shows.

they didn't ask if dogs were better than cats (they are) they asked who was cuter. Loyalty has nothing to do with cute. ;)

It depends on the type. I mean, dogs have pitbulls and chihuahuas (both of which are abominations to the name) while kittens have those ugly hairless ones (Dear god, the things that you see).

However cute kittens are they will eventually grow into cats which are pure evil whereas cute puppies will grow into loveable dogs. End of debate.

Yeah, but I don't know...it kinda does have an impact on how I perceive them. If I look at a puppy, and I find them really cute, but if I look at a kitten I find them kinda cute...but am always thinking how much of a stupid creature it is who doesn't care about anything apart from itself. Puts me off them in general, and I find them less appealing in all ways because of it.

Cooked madras style, they're both equally tasty...
;)

both my cat(rip) and dog have given birth and i have to say puppies are cuter. especaly imedeatly following birth, newborn kittens are not the cutest things if you know what i mean.

It's obvious it's kittens, or else the UN would test our reactions to puppies to determine how friendly our people are!

KITTEN!

I like tigers, plus, you have to DO stuff for dogs, i.e. take walks, let outside so doesn't poop on couch, play games...

All you have to do for cats is feed 'em a couple times a day and their set. And sometimes, when it's cold, they sit on you and make you warm.

I had a dog that would sit on you. Damn thing weighed about 25 pounds and liked to stamp right on your balls while crawling into your lap (or he'd lay on your chest), but still . . .
On the other hand, cats last longer as both kittens and non-corpses, so they win some points back and I return to the fence for a quiet sit.

Indeed. It all depends on the individual. In general, I would choose kittens, but there are plenty of exceptions.

Really depends on the type of dog, but mostly i'd go with puppies. My dog was really cute when he was a little ball of fur.

I never would be able to kick a puppy or a kitten ... that's just cruel.

Chicks on the other hand ARE fun to kick. They leave a trail of little, fluffy feathers in the air. Thzt's kinda cute :p

yuck! Chicks are _not_ cute, their bones poke out of their wings and they _stink_

I love both. Puppies and kittens are both absolutely adorable (though I think I prefer kittens, as I'm more of a cat person).

However, the ultimate cuteness comes with baby kiwis:

AWWWW! I'd never seen a baby kiwi before now. I feel this merits another AWWWW!!!

I don't know. Cuteness can be augmented by other features. For instance, kittens seem slightly less cute to me because they make me sneeze and get all itchy all over.

Meanwhile:

Why aren't kittens made less cute when they poop on your rug and scratch up your furniture/curtains?

yeah, my hubby is allergic to kitties too, so we have a dog now. I think I am more of a dog person anyway, but I have something against puppies. (that's why I adopted an older dog)

all of the kittens I ever had were litter trained, and also they had scratching posts so the never did scratch my furniture. ;)

My shoes though? that was sad:( ...........stupid dog..........(not my current dog though, my current dog rocks. :D)

Mwahaha! First the baby kiwis shall take over NationStates, and then... THE WORLD!

Er... I said nothing!

So your kittens came already trained? Wow, where do you get that deal? LOL

yeah. puppies. by a long shot.

well, they kinda have a built in "bury thier poop" thing, all you have to do is show them the litter box and make sure it's clean and private and they can get to it and they just go. I have never had a cat that had an "accident" and I have had over 9 cats in my life. (although one did pee on me everytime I had to drive her to the vet :P)

That's the thing about cats. When they piss on your carpet, you know damned well that they did it on purpose.

you people have obviously never seen baby sloths...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/wasteofpaint01/sloth.jpg

Kittens, by far. They're cuter, smaller, the squeak (puppies yip), and they're born planning to take over the world.

Plus, they are the only pet that makes you work for their affection. I consider that a good thing. And cats are pretty damn smart. Except for the one I currently have, not the brightest bulb in the batch.

KiteNs R teh PwnZors!!!!!!!!!!?!??111

Erm...*cough* Ahem, Kittens are best...*shifty eyes*

yep.


funny story, my dog doesn't scratch at the door when he needs to go outside, he just comes and 'cold noses' you and then goes to the door, well the other day I was reading and I suppose he was trying to let me know he wanted out, but I wasn't paying attention, next thing I know he is standing beside my Christmas tree with his leg up and he barked at me. The look on his face was soo funny it was very "Let me out, or the Christmas presents get it!!"

Kittens.

witness: the Munchkin, a variety of feline with half size legs and double size cuteness. (http://www.catvet.homestead.com/Loprofile_kitten_3_A.jpg).

I rest my case.

I am a cat/feline person all the way, so kittens. I like snakes too though.

Puppies. I've fed BellaDonna kittens since she was a pup.

(she apologizes, but she loves posting her pic given the opportunity.)

I'd love to see pics of our NS-ers cute pets. (My soft spot).
Let's see some criters! :D

(So I can see if the owners in the pics sects look like their pets.) :p

The cat. Planning world domination as usual.

Kittens win because all kittens are cute, but some breeds of puppies are ugly as all get out.

All for it. It'll be the best thread ever.

Unfortunately, once again the cat's plans are foiled by the world police.

We had a Puppy around yesterday.

They're all fine when their little and cute and then they get older and just become pests. All that's left once they're no longer little is cleaning up their sh*t.

That's why I trained my cat to shit on other people's property.

Good idea. Unfortunately I don't have the patience for that.

It doesn't take long. Cats are predisposed to that type of thing anyway.

Teaching them party tricks on the other hand is next to impossible.

It's true though - dogs have a far more in depth understanding of social relationships than cats. Thats why dogs will sulk when a member of the family dies whilst cats don't give a shit, and why dogs will run around the house excited for 5 minutes solid when they see a person they like but haven't seen in a while, whereas cats probably don't even recognise them. They only stick around the house because of the free food and attention.

I taught my dog a few tricks. Maybe I can teach my cats to use the neighbor's yard. Worth a try.

They probably are already. Reward them when you find them doing it, but not consistently. Pretty soon, they won't want to crap anywhere else.

I taught mine to poop on the Trebuchet Bucket and then fire it at the neighbours so i don't have that problem.:)

I have had dogs, and I currently own cats... I so prefer cats... all of my furry kids have larger then life personalities. My dog was dumber then a box of rocks. I think what non cat persons dont get is how funny it is that instead of training your cat, your cat trains you.... now if that isnt a sign of brilliance i dont know what is :p
