Man's Best FriendOne of the most controversial topics among pet owners has been the difference between cats and dogs. Indeed, each of these animals offers their own unique qualities that millions of people love. As a cat and dog owner for many years, I appreciate many of the different qualities of these two animals. Both present their own unique qualities that people should consider when choosing between them; However, I believe that dogs make the best pets because they are more sociable, more intelligent, and more loyal to their owners. The first reason why dogs are more superior to cats is that the dog is a more sociable animal. A dog's natural tendency is to be part of a pack and lead a social, outgoing life. Every day I come home from a hard day at college, I know my dog ​​will be at the door ready to greet me with affection. Dogs have been bred over time to help people hunt and perform other tasks. This causes dogs to become closer to the humans around them, whom they view as a safe source of shelter and food. Cats are the complete opposite when it comes to being social with humans. It is true that a cat will be affectionate with people, but that generally means that it will only come to people when the feline wants something its owner has to offer. Like any animal, cats want food most of all, so owners will have to endure long periods between meals while their cat wants nothing to do with them. It's rare for a cat to approach people who want to play, and I never remember a cat dropping a ball at my feet while begging to play a game of catch. I tried to play with a cat I had in the past by throwing her a tinkling ball with a bell inside, but she just gave me a look that made me transfix... middle of paper. ... ..was only gone for a few minutes. The debate between dogs and cats has raged for a long time. Dogs are more affectionate and loyal pets than cats. I am a firm believer that dogs are a better pet because ultimately they will give more in the long run than a cat. This debate will continue to rage as long as the most popular pets remain cats and dogs. There are many unique traits to each animal that make them good pets in their own way. I admit that I have only touched on a few of the most common traits that I prefer in dogs and some that I don't like in cats. Ultimately, a pet owner must choose the animal that compliments them. A cat is a perfect choice for people who want a low-maintenance pet that they can ignore and be ignored in return, but for people who want a loyal friend, a dog is the best pet..
