Although I have casted my vote for cats, unfortunately I believe this resolves the question.

wooooooooooo dogs win

cats! because...

1. you don't have to pay someone to watch them while you are gone
2. you don't have to stop playing demigod to go let them out
3. you don't have to poop scoop, just toss the litter in a bag and toss it out
4. you don't end up stepping in crap when your having a BBQ
5. they don't hump your leg
6. they don't slobber on you
7. they are easy to entertain, laser pointer ftw
8. they get high on cat nip
9. they don't beg
10. they have mastered the nighttime ninja strike on your legs
11. they can entertain themselves for hours with a ball, where as a dog just keeps bringing it back to you
12. and so on...

2 doesnt count
4 is your own dam fault nothing to do with a dog you should have cleaned up after it or watch where your going also many cats pee in polaces that arnt its litter box
5 most dogs dont hump your leg and they only do that in most cases because they havnt bin spayed or neutered
6 thats only with hounds
7 dogs are as easy to entertain plus lots of dogs are happy to just sit with you
8 getting high is not a good thing for an animal
9 lol cats beg you just dont notice it
10 is a bad thing cause its annoying
11 dogs can entertain themselves for hours with a bone or chew stick
and so on

anything you bring up i can counter so ...

You really need a new pic Max.

And the whole 'you fail' when you don't agree is pretty lamezor

lol nah i just like this pic

So... why do you use a picture of a cat if you like dogs so much?

because most pictures are of cats its hard to find a useful picture of a dog i blame the cat lovers

• you can make money from funny cat video's on youtube
• cats are smarter than dogs, look it up
• people with cats tend to be smarter than people with dogs
• cats clean themselves you don't have to bath them
• cats don't bark all the time, keeping you up at night cause the wind made a noise
• cats purr dogs just lay there
• cats don't eat there own crap, some dogs do
• dogs eat your shoes, most cats don't
• dogs stink,
• cats are great for farms, they kill all the mice
• cats don't increase your homeowners insurace
• cats won't tear up your house/plants etc
• dogs dig up your yard
• and so on...

1 doesnt count if there were enough videos of funny dogs you could make money off of them too
3 well theres a reason for this its because the smart people have no time to take care of a real pet and give it love and care so they get a cat which just takes care of itself so infact they are lazy
5 if you allow your dog to bark for no reason or bark to much its your fault not theres your suppose to train them not to bark
6 doesnt count its just a noise
7 thats a condition and most dogs dont do that plus you can teach them not to do it
8 most dogs dont eat your shoes and if cats destroy your shoes then you cant say fuck all
9 cats stink
10 dogs are good for farms they can heard sheep there good as guards way more useful then a cat on a farm
11 yes dogs may increase homeowner insurance but cats can cause people to not even buy a house if there trying to sell it cause yu cant get cat dander or the smell out of the house once a cat has inhabited it i know this cause of my dad and his allergys
12 lol yes cats will tear up your house/ plants they do it as much as dogs
13 well if dogs dig up your yard then  cats have the nasty habit of leaving you little bird presants every now and again
and so on...

• you have to train dogs not to bark where as cats are well behaved from the start
