Actually I was thinking of intelligence.

And really... can you imagine, at the end of a hard day's work herding cattle or sheep... sitting around the campfire with your trusty ol' herding cat? ;)

Sincerely I believe dogs think, and cats react instinctively.




Edited for spelling, in case Beetle is lurking about, looking for new ways to prove his intelligence. :D

perhaps it's not the cat's intelligence that is lacking, but humans ability to recognize it when it's not useful to them :)

All of the things you have listed can be done better by machines and they have electronic dogs you can buy these days as well.

The perfect utility.


I know you were talking with your tongue in your cheek, but...  

When was the last time an electronic gadget sniffed out the trail of a child lost in the woods?  or sniffed out hidden contraban, or even just catch a ball? or helped a blind guy cross a street?  

When was the last time a cat pointed and flushed out a quail for the hunter?  Or retrieved a duck from a near frozen pond, and then was ready to jump in again immediately? or pulled a sled from Anchorage to Nome?

Come on, there is no contest...

Wy wife had a cat and we didn't get along. She jumped to my lap and I  sleeked her, suddenly, she changed her mind and scratched as hard as she can. That continued long long time, until my wife had to go to hospital for few days and I stayed home with her "pet". I feed her and so on, but when she scratched me again, I started to give back! Believe me, it was hard long fight and couch and other furnitures went upside down. You know you can't change cats mind, but wait.. you can! After several engagements she gave up :D My hands were bleeding, but what the heck, the cat gave up and ever since (until her natural death), she never ever threaten me again. What this proves? It proves that cat has some intelligence or self-protection sense after all. It recognizes, who is the master of the house!! :D
Oh, did I mentioned, I hate cats!!! :mad:

If you want any tips, how to domesticate a cat, just ask ;)
Oh and happy New Year :D

well I'm speaking of what you want out of your pet really I was just being extreme. If you want the things that dogs do you obviously get a dog, if you want the things that cats do you get a cat so go with goats horses fish and whatnot.

I dont' believe it makes any of them better than the others only different :)

This was my point.

But, along your lines of capabilities, when is the last time a cat killed a child or an adult?

janneh,
 this going to sound wierd but your dog looks exactly like my dog minus the head, my dog had german shepard muzzle and eyebrows but same oranges and tail and ears. (he was german shephard chow mix)

Anyhow about when animals attack ;) I had a pure chow for a short time, I'm not sure what was wrong with her she seemed really friendly but out of the blue she'd bite.

I have a scar on my face from her, and she bit my mother as well....now I could deal with the scare on my face, but when she bit my mom I had her put down.

I guess she changed her mind about being friendly once in a while too, only when she attacked me she laid my face open, she didn't just scratch my hands.

they are all individuals and like anyone how you treat them and socialize them will have a great impact on how they are later on in life.

The small dog I had, I got her from a pet store, I found that she had been basically teased from the time she got there, wierd thing is when they teased her she'd get so excited she would start coughing, they diagnosed her with kennel cough and locked her in an isolated room upstairs. This went on for quite a while.

Problem was she wasn't coughing, she was barking because she was afraid or aggressive and their teasing which caused her cough was the worst thing to do. She needed to be socialized and she wasn't.

(she also used to stare at the wall and do other odd things I'll never know what the hell was wrong with her besides behavioral)

I've seen the cats do what you describe, it's unacceptable and I can't imagine my cats ever extending a claw in my direction.

there is a huge owner responsibility to having a pet and it isn't simply feeding it and cleaning up after it.

Talk to a pediatrition.  I'd venture to say there are more child deaths attributed to cats than dogs.  Adults it would be a close call.

Kanth, I expected some kind of flame war here, not that kind of reasonable discussion :)
I'm very sorry to hear about your dog attack :(
I guess I got your point, animals will be always animals, no matter how pets they should supposed to be.
Pet is a pet whether it's a cat, dog, crocodile or dragon, we will love them anyway (I still hate cats!).
Happy new year Kanth! :)
