Dog's are better than Cat's

(INTRODUCTION) I understand you are new to DDO (By the way, welcome!), but the conduct has been breached. Anyways, it is time for rebuttals. (REBUTTALS) “ So saying dogs are more loyal than cats is a false statement. To say most dog breeds are more loyal than most cat breeds is more true. If you want a loyal companion, you could theoretically get either a certain dog or cat.” Yes, that is true, however, more dogs are more loyal than cats. Why? simple. “You walk in the door after a business trip and your dog bowls you over and covers you with ‘kisses’. Your cat on the other hand is in the living room rubbing on the couch, to make it quite clear that you are easily replaceable by a mere stick of furniture. Why the difference in affection when both pets ultimately crave our attention? Small cats are born to be independent in the wild for survival, they migrate alone so each species has a better chance to spread. Being migratory animals, smaller breeds of wild cats hunt alone at night when they are less apt to become the prey.”{1} Dogs are born with a “pack mentality”{1} As in the family is the pack and you need to be loyal to the pack, that is why dogs are usually more loyal than cats, and as proven in the previous argument where I discussed Fido the dog. I do understand that cats have the potential to be just as if not more loyal than dogs, however it is far more likely that you will have a loyal dog than a loyal cat. “You don't have to put the litter box in the house. I put mine in the garage.” So? a) Most people put their litter boxes in their homes, not their garages. b) Even if you have your kitty litter inside your garage, cats step into their feces and spread their fecal matter all over your house. c) I have never, ever seen this smell-covering kitty litter in my life. d) Cheap pans break and leak, meaning that you have buy more pans then you do with an expensive one, which means the costs add up. “Sadly, cats do kill lots of birds. But they also kill lots of mice and rats that could potentially have dangerous diseases and illnesses. They could have bubonic plague, salmonella, murine typhus, leptospirosis, Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis, rat-bite fever, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, and tapeworms. And I'm positive nobody wants those.” That is a fine point, but you can always hire an exterminator, which is much more efficient than having a cat do you work, besides, no one gets a cat just so the cat can kill mice. “When guests come over to my house, I have to lock my dog up because my guests don't like my dog. He's hyper, energetic and loves to play, so he comes out a little mean at times. On the other hand, my cats are usually the ones bombarded by kids, because they are very laid back and love attention. But they stay out of the way when unwanted. Dogs also jump up and lick people, which is not liked by some people.” So because your two cats handle guests better than your dog it means that cats in general are better with house guests? Well, since two cats and a dog are all it takes to decide which is better than let me give an example of two cats and a dog and how they deal with guests. a friend of mine had a dog and two cats, the dog was laid back, yet the two cats were unfriendly and did not like me and the other guest. I could give another example, but I have proven my point. Yes, your cats deal with guests better than your dog does, but my friend’s dog dealt with guests better than her cats did. “Cats smell better. It's just a fact. Dog odor seems to stay, even after a bath or two.” You get used to it, besides cats also smell and so do their litter boxes. And yes, you probably would a;so get used to cat odors as well, however, that does not take away anything from my point. “Cats aren't loud. Dogs bark, growl, and it's really loud too. The loudest cat meow was 67.7 decibels loud. [1] The loudest dog bark was 113.1 decibels. [2] That's almost twice as loud! Dogs barking is annoying, especially in town. I don't think anybody's going to have a hard time sleeping because of a cat meowing, but I can see someone having trouble falling asleep because of a dog's bark.” How is that a bad thing? what if you were getting robbed? You know what one of the number one ways to prevent burglary is? A barking dog. “Having a dog should almost go without saying…that they are a very good burglar deterrent and home-security protection. The bark of a BIG dog may sound threatening, but even the yip of a smaller dog will bring quick attention to the situation and likely stop a burglar break-in because the typical burglar will move on to easier opportunities instead.” You see? Perhaps having a noisy dog is a good thing! (CONCLUSION) I think my work here is done. WHY I HAVE ONE -I made better arguments. -I refuted all of her points. -She broke conduct. -While her grammar was still good, mine was better. -We provided more sources than her. I have to thank con for a wonderful debate, I wish her the best of luck on future debates, and I hope we debate again!
