A dog is a superior pet to have then a cat.

Rebuttals"First of all, a cat can also do everything you said in "Condition 1"Complely false. Since cats are less active, and don't require any physical activity, all of these possibilities are discarded. Because of such, all the things that a dog can help with health cannot be done by cats."Second of all, taking care of a dog is only one way one can learn responsibllites. A cat takes responsibility too, but because they are easier to take care of, people appreciate them more. Because, face it, people are busy, and should not always have to take care of their dog every second of their lives."Opininated, no proof supporting such. I for one have many things to do, however it is still simple for me to care for my dog. Cats can actually be harder to care for than a dog in some cases. For example, take a border collie the easiest dog to train comepared to any cat. A border collie is so obdient, and easy to train, whereas a cat doesn't listen. In this case, the dog is easier to care for, and still improves your health and responsibility, whereas a cat aids in neither areas."Third of all, Just because a dog's brain has more wrinkles, does not mean it is a better pet. That has nothing to do with it. If you are going with dogs being able to be a seeing eye animal, then that's different, but if you are just going to come out and say "dogs are smarter" then you have another thing coming, for you see; "The key to understanding differences between cats and dogs comes down to understanding their ecology." Becuase of this, "Dogs have a more evolved social communication repertoire than cats, and that leads them to do things humans equate with being smarter," when in fact, it is just human preference.Source:http://parade.condenast.com...;I would like you to look at the source voters. It comes from a huge cat lover, who even pretends to be a cat. This is very unreliable, and there is no proof our sources leading to his conclusion. My source however were precise, backed up by proof, and proved that the dogs brain is more develloped than a cat's making it smarter."Fourth of all, some dogs are just nuisances: Some are too hyper, are more resistant to house breaking, are more prone to chew on things, have more health issues, bark or whine too much and keep people up at night, need to be walked every day, you have to clean up after them much more oftern, can bite and attack owners and others as well as other animals, and when walking, a dog can pull on a leash and might severely injure their owner." Once again, no proof at all. Some cats can also be very very hyper, and dangerous. Cats tend to commonly destroy houses, and even kill children.Here are various forums showing how cats are breaking peoples houses:https://ca.answers.yahoo.com...https://ca.answers.yahoo.com...https://answers.yahoo.com...http://petoftheday.com...!http://ask.metafilter.com...And here are some pictures of houses cats destroyed. As you can see, cats are just as bad as dogs in your case. In fact, cats tend to do more damage than dogs, because good owners train their dogs. Cats are very difficult to train, thus destroying houses, and even killing children. One cat was napping a 3 year old boy, and suffocated him in the process. [2]."Last of all, I do not understand what you mean by "forfeting points". Is that something you came up with, because I am gonna answer your arguments in any way I like, as long as it isn't mean or rude. Also, for the opening statement thing, I did not put one becuase 1. I was just answering back your challenge and 2. you put on the wrong argument, so I thought I would wait until you put one on. (P.S. You already broke your own rule when you put "Reminder- My Opponent Forfeited All Their Points Since He/She Did Not Begin With Their Opening Statements" in caps... so you kind of 'forfeited' yourself)" In the first round, you were required to write your opening statements. You wrote "I accept". So you forfeited all your points. Those rules only applied to you if you read them properly. In the end, I specifically wrote "If any rules above are broken, my opponent will experience a 7 point deduction.". So I will not experiance the deduction, only my opponent. He should of checked this before accepting the debate. So, my opponent has already forfeited all her points."Conclusion: Cats are a more peaceful animal to have around the house and are just as smart, if not smarter, than a dog." I have proved this false. Cats are not always peacefull, as they destroy homes, and even kill children. They are not smarter, or even equal, since dogs have more develloped brains. In conclusion, I have rendered all my opponent's arguments false and irrelevant. They pretty much dropped my argument's because they didn't have any proof supporting their rebuttals. My opponent has already taken the 7 point deduction, and has no valid arguments thus far. Because of such, there is no reason for me to create an argument, since my previous ones are uncontended. So for now, arguments extended.sources:http://pets.webmd.com...http://www.thelocal.se...
