Dogs I mean they don't just have the "Man's best friend" title for nothing. They earned that title. While the cats where too busy licking themselves and sleeping, the dogs where where right by our sides helping us hunt, herd things or help blind people cross the street. And what do these faithful creatures ask in return for their loyalty? Nothing more than a pat on the head, some table scraps and occasionally being allowed to sleep at the foot of the bed.
To be fair, in the past humanity has seen the use of cats to protect food stores from vermin, (though for some reason my house actually has more mice since I've had cats). And if people hadn't of been so stupid as to associate cats with witchcraft and exterminated a shit ton of them, the Black Death wouldn't of been such a big deal as those cats would of taken care of the rats that carried the fleas that carried the plague who suddenly found themselves without any natural predator.
No wonder cats hate us, they know they are smarter than us.
On the subject of which is better, I'm going to have to sit on the line. I have 3 cats, all very affectionate, will greet me at the door and I have had 2 tortoiseshell cats that have both enjoyed going on short walks with the dog. I wouldn't say my cats are especially smart, they are forever falling off of stuff, for example my cats will lay on the edge of my bed and then roll over and off the edge.
My dog on the other hand, I have yet to decide whether he is the smartest or dumbest animal I've ever met. But he has never left an evicerated rat for me to stand on first thing in morning. And has on more than once scared away intruders. If only he could get over the dog cliche of hating postmen. Seriously, I can be out walking him and be nowhere near my house and he will just stop and bark at them for no reason.

Also, I laughed so hard at that.
