I could be wrong, but I don't think dogs do that either.

No matter how much you train them.
I like dogs. I like cats, and ducks and bears and hedgehogs and geese and pigs and spiders and etc etc.

Well that's dog owners, not the dogs

I reckon it's the dogs. I've never met a dog owner who says they do it, but the evidence is there for all to see, so it's got to be the dogs. Or maybe the cats trying to frame them.

Quite right, they don't put it in trees, they leave it right in the middle of the trail instead. Much better.

Blerch.

For some reason cats mouths are so choc full of bad bacteria its a wonder there is room for teeth, bad news to get a bad bite off one.

I have met some realy agro cats but on the whole they are pretty mellow and will leg it they dont want to be bothered. Used to have a cat that followed us on walks, one day she didn't come home so I went to where we had seen her last, shouted "Sonic" and she came flying out of some bushes climbed up on my shoulder and got a lift home. She was a very special cat 😆

On my bike trip down the west coast a few years back I went past this house and the rotweiler that lived there went beserk, it was chained up but charging at me and reaching the end of its chain and somersaulting like in a cartoon, if that thing had got loose it could of killed you. The first thing the people I was travelling with said when we reached camp was "Did you see that dog"

Cats and dogs rock 😆

Cats poo in which ever bit of the garden you're currently planting things the evil little ****ers.

Cat owners should pay into a fund to provide the rest of us with those sonic noise things. I'm always disappointed the scale only goes up to "Strong". Thinking of modding one to add the settings, "Alarming", "Terror", "Occular Bleeding", "Palpatations", "Involuntary Cranial Eruption".

one of the cats i grew up with dribbled like a leaking tap the moment he started purring, which was 90% of the time cos he was a little slut who'd cuddle the table leg if you weren't 110% committed to devoting every little ounce of your being into cuddling him. the other cat noticed the dribbling and copied.

had 4 dogs so far in my life, none of them have drooled.

never been bitten by a dog, been scratched/bitten by several cats.

they're both cool animals and i think they're both winners for different reasons.

Only if those lovely responsible dog owners pay money to have lots of wardens patrolling the trails prosecuting owners who leave their shit everywhere.

It's actually really bad where we live. I can't let my young kids run around on the playing fields, or examine the plants and trees etc, because of the amount of dogshit everywhere.

I've also never been kept awake at night by a cat in a nearby back garden, endlessly meowing at a ridiculous volume, and for absolutely no discernible reason whatsoever, [b]ALL ****ING NIGHT!!!!![/b] 👿

My sister binned a pair of pumps she was wearing while gardening at my Dads over the weekend after they got so covered she didn't think they could be saved. Why leave your home to find pet poo and when the pet can bring the poo to you. I've never ridden through dog poo (have had to remove from trails once or twice, does annoy me), but I tend to stand in cat poo in my garden more than dog poo out and about.

Also spend much of the time weeding knowing I can smell it but unable to locate source cos the little **** weasels hide it.

Binners - if you live in leeds the Cats will eneact some form of Vagnerian opera of a similar length to the Ring Cycle for your entertainment. The plot is difficult to fathom, and the tunes distressful to the ear but it sounds epic!

Has cat poo rendered your local play area unsuitable for playing?

Ah well, that's where dogs clearly win, since it's easy to locate dog poo. All over my bike, my camelbak, my saddle.. the stench is so vile there can be no doubt if a spec is mud or poo.

Back in the good old days, white dog poo was almost as much fun as a cardboard box.

I've never had to clear up dog pooh in my own garden left by a neighbors pet.
Whilst we're at it, what about those birds? A dog's never poohed on my car.......

I can't let my young kids run around on the playing fields, or examine the plants and trees etc, because of the amount of dogshit everywhere.

In all fairness, that's disgusting. It's not the dogs fault though.

what is this give a nearly related fact in response to a question day?

Ok so now we have established that cats and dogs poo in different areas what next?
I think we have established than neither set of owners clean up after their pets either and no one supports this

Difference is though most cats have litter trays and use them at least some of the time.

I think it's reasonable to suggest that dog shit is more of a blight on society than cat shit.

excellent, i'm glad we're all in agreement on this then. a good dog is generally the product of a good owner (bit like kids) whereas there's no such thing as a good cat, just psychopathic little killers.

Probably but I rarely hear folk on here complaining about their neighbours dog shitting in their garden so I guess it depends but you are probably correct.
Neither are big issues in my life tbh.

Friend of mine has an aggresive cat. Not kidding, its an asbsolutely ****, to everyone. It actually bits if you go pet it. ONly one like that I've ever encountered. Sits on me, stares in my face basically saying "You so much as touch me and I will shred the skin from your bones." - thing is its ginger and fat and I find it hilarious, convulse in laughter, which also gets me bitten...

Ah Gavin...

See I think both are awesome... I wouldn't trade our Maisie for a dog in a million years, but I'd like a doggie as well.

I think what you need to know is this.

[b]Cats:[/b] Completely self centred, cold hearted , utterly adorable bastards. Much smarter than you, me, or him. Also really stupid.

[b]Dogs:[/b] Thick as two short planks. Possibly thicker. Dead easy to train - if you do it right. Also dead easy to make into slobbering babies face eating snarlmachines.

Vicious cats? The recently [s]squashed[/s] departed cat in our local - Eric Catona - used to come and curl up on your knee, and nuzzle you, being a big softy. Lulling you into a false sense of security, as you'd be casually chatting, while stroking him. At this point the little sod would get his claws out, then absolutely sink his teeth into your hand.

Loads of people used to bring there dogs into the pub, but they all knew not to mess with Eric. Still sadly missed. The psychotic little bastard! 🙁

Dogs are better than cats as when you go out you can put leads on then and then they dont get run over by cars. Lost two cats like that when i was a kid.
Dogs can be worse though, depends on the owner. As an example of the best and worst a few weeks ago I was in the park playing football with my two year old son. My lurcher was off searching the trees for something to chase. A small yappy type dog ran up to the ball and tried to bite it. Anagallis junior got the hump at this ( hes lost a few balls to dogs) bent down to pick up the ball and shouted no to the dig. All this time I'd been running over to him as i could see what might happen. Yappy dog snapped at him just missing. It didnt get the chance to try again as Kea had it in her mouth and bought it to me! A cat wouldnt do either of those things.

I have, twice, because someone's little precious chose to shit in the gravel by the side of my car, directly below the drivers door. Stank the car out.
I still prefer cats to dogs, but I'm sadly allergic.

If we compare cats and dogs to ladies, we find that cats are the intelligent sophisticated lady, who has her own hobbies and interests, isn't needy, but neither is she afraid of love and affection.

The dog on the other hand is the dim bint who keeps following you around, who thinks everything you do somehow involves or concerns her, and to make matters worse, her personal hygiene standards are a matter for concern.

@TuckerUK

But for mine, blonde - with a fancy hat!

I think for cats you need to add, "and sees many other people behind your back, all of whom assume they are [i]the only one[/i]" - while for dogs "and are blindly loyal, even when mistreated, starved and beaten". Its sad, but its true.

I tend to look at it this way. If both animals were human, which one would you be friends with?

Cat - self centred, self obsessed, useless in a proper fight that doesn't involve staring at each other for five hours, lazy, treats you as a heat source, treats you as a food machine, only comes to see you when it wants something, constantly preening itself, thinks it owns you.

Dog - Insanely loyal, will kill and die for you, good in a fight, accepts you are the master and all you do is right, always wants to go out and do stuff with you, friendly because it likes you, strong sense of family, good hoover, knows damn well you own it and is happy about it.

So you have to question the morals of those people who prefer cats at the end of the day 😉

A picture?
This one shows that cats don't understand the rules. It's supposed to run god-damn it!

Dogs stink and are too much of a burden.

Cats are so easy to own, although I only ever have Siamese as they have so much more personality than most cats.

We had a cat that was a stray/feral & it was an absolute barsteward. A local farmer came in one day & said 'I've got a complaint to make about your cat, It's just chased my sheepdog over the field'
It used to run up behind you & bite your ankles (the cat, not the sheepdog) It brought a dead Stoat to the door once as well. It also once chased another cat up a telephone pole & sat at the bottom for five hours till we got her indoors & the other cat could escape. She got caught in a rabbit snare while she went missing for four days & lived to tell the tale. (or should that be 'tail')
Great moggie!

Our cat Smokey is great, he's friendly, patient with the 2yr old daughter who is all over him, well behaved and a brutal killer (pigeons and squirrels) - even tho he did go awol last week for about 6 days and then turned up like nothing had happened after we had flyered and hammered the social media...

taking out a stoat is a serious hunter!

Well...

from experiance of owning both...

Cats generally do not slobber all over you (with the exception of Stupid Black Cat Mk II who dribbles like a leaky tap), and when they are sick, they don't generally produce enough to fill ALL your shoes at once (which was gross).

However.

Dogs do not generally leave dead rats in the kitchen for you to find at six o'clock in the morning. Nor do they scream the house down because they have got themselves stuck to the carpet (Stupid Black Cat Mk II again...)

Swings and roundabouts really 🙂
