Dogs vs Cats: Which Makes the Better Pet? Both Sides
Loyalty and affection vs independence and grace
This is one of the oldest debates in human history. Dog lovers champion loyalty and affection, while cat lovers tout independence and elegance.
Dogs greet you like they haven't seen you in 10 years even if you just stepped out for 5 minutes, while cats give you a 'oh you're back?' look even after a 3-day trip. But it is true that both are adorable.
