Which do you prefer cat or dog & why?

Let me tell you something about cats! If you look after them well without all that silly pampering that most do, they are one of the most demanding beings with whom you can share your home! Heaven help anyone who gives them a choice of food! Once they know there's a choice...you're doomed!! Having said that ...and, ohh, that's just about one percent of their pickiness...cats are absolutely brilliant! I love dogs, too and I think they don't suffer so much with that ridiculous coddling that cats receive. Half these dim-wits who have cats screw them up by having them de-clawed or they put little nail coverings on them - retards!!
