They are said to be "greener" pets because their smaller appetites equate to a smaller ecological footprint

Really? Can we get away from eco crap anywhere?

Think of it this way: another reason dogs are superior. Conservatives are less likely to give a darn about the latest “eco-friendly” nonsense.

(Note how they ignored the number of animals cats kill—birds, rodents, etc—without intention of eating. I’d say that more than makes up for the alleged “benefit” of a smaller appetite. )

But cats are cool. Ever hear the expression “cool dogs”? We have all heard of “cool cats” however.

My wife’s response:

“Duh! They needed a study? Who did the study? First-graders?”

Dogs are ‘man’s best friend’.

Who is the first follower you normally pick up in “Fallout 3”?

Answer: Dogmeat

Not....Catmeat.

End of debate.

Say what you want to say about the importance of dogs when early people hunted the wooly mammoth for food. With out cats an agrarian society couldn’t exist. Put piles of wheat, corn together in a pile and you have a natural cafeteria for rats and mice! The only thing a cat loves more then killing mice is getting pet and sleeping!!!

Ask any farmer that you know about the importance of having cats!!

My dog likes me better than my cat.

Which one likes to wade in the river with me?

dairy farms don’t have a bunch of cats running around because there’s extra milk to get rid of
