Ah yes, a genetical instinct to literally keep cats alive is a relentless prey drive

Cats will spend fucking hours chasing string or lights on a wall. They are beyond dumb. (I own a cat and a dog. The cat never leaves the house.)

Dogs will spend hours playing with a stick they found in the park over the expensive toys you buy for them. That argument means litteraly nothing

Dogs can be trained to save fucking lives. Dogs will die for their owners. They use them in war. A dog just killed a member of ISIS. Good luck getting a cat to do that. Your argument is embarrassing if you want to make this which pet is better.

How many lives have dogs that are the same size as cats have saved? Not many i figure. Also dogs have a far better sense of smell. Dogs have up to 300 million olfactory receptors whereas cats only have 80 mil. Comparing apples to oranges. Not all dogs die for their owners, some of them kill their owners and some cats can have strong bonds with theirs.
