Your obedience=/= intelligence comment is pretty dumb as well. The train-ability of an animal, its social awareness and how it responds to commands is also directly linked to intelligence.

My dog never shits in the house, he waits to go outside, so i don't have to scoop his feces out with a little spatula like you have to for your cat.

Yep, good luck leaving your dog alone for any period in excess of 12 hours. Sorry your superior animal requires so much coddling to function properly.

I also don't have to store his feces inside my house.

In the year 2013 there's this thing known as odor absorbing cat litter. It works quite well.

Also there have been studies that confirm cats are less intelligent that dogs, so if you want to try to make that argument go for it.

There have been studies confirming that the earth is less than 6,000 years old too. What's your point?

You can train a paramecium to perform certain actions to certain stimuli. The "train-ability" of an animal is something separate from intelligence entirely regardless of what you believe.

Sure you can, cats will perform actions in response to certain stimuli as well, but neither with the level of depth and complexity that a dog will. When you can teach a paramecium or your cat to lead a blind person down the street and guard their well being on a daily basis you let me know.

If you think dogs are the only guardian animals in history you are sadly misinformed young lad.

The people who militant pro-dog are usually narcissistic control freaks who need to dominate other living things to feel any self worth. In other words, pathetic pussies. Cats show affection and stay around because they want to, not out of instinctive, genetic subservience.

I simply think dogs are more intelligent and make better pets. I think its a bit absurd to make such a blanket statement about someones personality based on their preference in pets, you sound like some sort of autist.

Didn't stop you from making general, dumbass blanket statements, did it? Go cry on Fido's furry shoulder. He will give a fuck as long as you feed him.

You sound like an insane person, I hope you're doing okay man.
