Dog's are better than Cat's

Thank you. I also wish you luck! I'll admit, dogs are more loyal than cats, but cats aren't completely disloyal either. Some dog breeds aren't loyal at all. Some cat breeds are very loyal. It's not necessarily the species that is loyal or disloyal, more of the breed. "The Siamese cat is often thought of as being one of the more high-maintenance cat breeds, and it is true that this exotic, vocal feline can be rather demanding! The Siamese cat views their human family as an extension of themselves, and likes nothing more than spending lots of time with their favourite people. The Siamese cat will often bond strongly with one particular member of the household, and requires lots of attention and to be treated very much as one of the family. This Oriental breed is very chatty, having its own language of mewls and meows, and the alert owner may even come to learn to interpret a range of Siamese sounds into their cat"s exact meanings!" (quote from http://www.pets4homes.co.uk...) From personal experience, I can say the Siamese is a loyal cat. I have two and they will follow me around the house and want nothing more than to be by my side. Sometimes, when I'm doing work, I have to lock them up to get them away from me! "Siberian Huskies love people; all people. Adults, children, dog lovers, dog haters, the Husky is an equal opportunities attention seeker! They enjoy plenty of time spent with and affection shared with people, regardless who the people are; their long-term owner, or someone they have just met in the street! While there is a lot of good to be said about this level of personability and friendliness in the dog, it can also on occasion lead to the first time owner feeling that their dogs are a little disloyal and not too picky about their friends! This same trait makes the Husky an ineffective guard dog, as they are generally perfectly welcoming to strangers, even strangers who enter their home uninvited!" (quote from http://www.pets4homes.co.uk...) Again, from personal experience, I can say that the husky is not a loyal dog... at all. I owned one and he wouldn't follow me around the house, unlike my cats. He didn't like to listen to me and he would run away and I'd have to go get him. He wouldn't come back. So saying dogs are more loyal then cats is a false statement. To say most dog breeds are more loyal then most cat breeds is more true. If you want a loyal companion, you could theoretically get either a certain dog or cat. You don't have to put the litter box in the house. I put mine in the garage. You can also get cat litter that covers most of the smell. And don't tell me dog feces doesn't have a smell. Because it definitely does. And you said the cost of litter boxes can GET UP TO $200-300. At this website (http://www.petco.com...) you can get a cat litter pan for under $5. You don't need to spend two hundred dollars on an expensive one. If money is that much of an issue, just get a cheap one. 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. Just think. What if you were in your garage and you unknowingly inhaled mouse urine and droppings? What if those mouse droppings were infected with HPS or hantavirus? Hantavirus is usually fatal. You would most likely die. If you had a cat, the cat probably would've killed that mouse living in your garage and thus, stopped it from killing you. That's all for right now too.
