My four-year-old was fascinated watching the cats come out. She didn't get grossed out until the mom cat started eating the placentas. She looked at my pregnant wife and asked, "Are you going to do that, too?"

"No honey. That's for daddy."
 
dogs by a landslide.

but now i've moved out of town again, i'm growing more fond of cats due to an absence of mice.

Every failed relationship I've ever had was with a cat owner.

At least you don't have to walk their cat.

I once had a girlfriend with a dog and, apparently, one of my rewards for spending the night with her was standing in the freaking snow the next morning while the dog oh-so-carefully chose the perfect spot for its next tinkle.

Not to mention the fact that the dog once tried to lick me in a sensitive area while in the act with its owner.

I'm happily married to a fellow cat person.
 
You are lucky it didn't try to bite you in a sensitive area. I'm told some protective dogs who get a peek see it as an act of aggression toward the owner and they can get rather protective.

You're "told?"

I suddenly understand why there are only two mini-Moddys.

You are still a brave man. Dog owner screams, dog isn't going to sit there and ask, "Is that pleasure or pain?" Chomp first, ask later.

Perhaps that speaks to my abilities ... or lack of ...

Yeah, Beldar.

Dogs. You don't have to earn their trust; they give it unconditionally. And every time they see you is like the first and best time they've ever seen you.

The happiest sound in the world is hearing your dog smacking his tail on the floor and doing a little dance while waiting for you to unlock the door and come inside, so you can pet him and rub his belly.

The second-happiest sound in the world is the sound his feet make when he twirls in six circles trying to get comfortable before plopping down in the exact same spot he was in, giving a great big sigh, and falling asleep against your leg.

That made me misty, B-Dub. I can't wait to go home and hug my boy now!
 
Nothing against cats but dogs by a landslide.

We had a minor accident in the house that ended up with 2 kids crying. The family dog was up in the room keeping vigil until the last kid stopped crying.

I have never heard of a cat doing that.
 
I can't take a cat hiking and, even if I could, I wouldn't be confident that any wildlife upon which we may happen would be scared away by his barks and snarls.

And then there's this face:

Why is one of the positives to having a cat that you have to earn its love? I don't hate cats but I would take a dog(and I mean dog not a yappy little mut) over a cat anyday.
 
I'm living with cats for the first time, and they're cool and all, but I'll always be a dog guy. I like that dogs give you a reason to do stuff, like go outside or play ball. You can take them camping and hiking. And you get to have petting and affection time whenever you want, not whenever a cat feels like it.

I've always remembered something I read about what would happen if you died alone in your house with your pet. A dog would cry and mourn you and stay by your side and die. A cat would eventually eat you. It makes the cat smarter, but I'll take the dog.
