13 Ways WereCats Are Better Than WereDogs (As Written By Ms. Anonymous of Halle, PA)
1. Cats pick one human to love; dogs love everybody. Seriously. You've watched them lick complete strangers, you know you have. Do you know where your Dog has been, and why he's got that goofy, sloppy smile on his face when he comes home? Think about it.
2. Tree climbing. An important skill to learn, especially if your Hero/Heroine is caged in his/her room/tower by an evil Stepparent/King. While the Dog howls below her window inconsolably, the Cat merely climbs the tree, scampers agilely into the room, and rescues the knight/damsel in distress.
3. Dogs will spread their legs and lick themselves anywhere, any time, regardless of the presence of women, children, and Cats. At least Cats find a nice, quiet corner to do their business in, and if you happen to run across one whilst in the midst of performing his daily "cleansing", he still manages to look both dignified and pissed off that you interrupted his bath.
4. Dogs do not have the innate grace and balance of a Cat. Or the stunning beauty. They're just big, hairy animals with saliva running off their tongues and onto the carpet. And you wonder why we walk along the back of your sofa?
5. Dogs stink. Have you ever taken a good whiff after he comes in from rolling around in whatever he found out in the back yard to scratch his itch? It's like, "Oh look, stinkweed! Let's go roll in it, guys! Arf arf!" And then they have the nerve to look upset when you shove them in the shower before they can touch you.
6. Cats are attractive, no matter the breed. Dogs? Sharpei. Nuff said.
7. Dogs chase Cats. That makes them bullies. And nobody likes a bully.
8. Because we're just. That. Cool.
9. Cats can get away with a little nip at your fingers and still get petted. Dogs get overnight trips to the backyard if they bare fang, or worse... vet trips!
10. Cats are both feared and revered across the world, and rightly so! Can you imagine a world were a DOG was the sacred animal of the Pharoahs? We'd probably be greeting each other by presenting butts instead of hands.
11. Speaking of butt sniffing, Cats take a different view of that than Dogs. Cats will sniff delicately once or twice and move on. Dogs, on the other hand, will sniff butt, back, sides, crotch, and then sneeze all over everything they just smelled, all the while wagging their tails like demented metronomes. No wonder humans shove them away!
12. Cats can point at Dogs and say "He did it!" with a reasonable expectation of being believed. Although we have not yet mastered the technique known as "puppydog eyes" that invariably get the silly canines out of trouble, we do have the "It wasn't me, that's too undignified" look down pat.
And finally...
13. Our Alpha is smarter/stronger/faster/handsomer/cooler than their Alpha. And how could he not be? Theirs is a Dog.

Very nice Ms. Anonymous. :)
LMAO
I agree. Cats rule!
OMG!!
Did you hit the nail on the head or what?
LOVE IT and very very true.
Dude. So wrong. In so many ways. Not to mention, my dog can kick your cat's spraying patootie all up and down the driveway. (The spraying thing, btw, is disgusting. As are the cat prints all over the hood of my car.)
I relayed your messages to Ms. A, and here was her response:
"Jambrea,Joy, and Kaye, thank you. Sela: Cat paw prints on the hood of your car are, like, modern art. Each one is placed precisely to make a pleasing pattern. Perhaps you need to be a cat to appreciate it. =)
"And your dog would have to FIND my cat's patootie before he could kick it. Considering how easily distracted by his OWN patootie dogs tend to be, that shouldn't really be a problem."
Her words, not mine. I own a two cats AND a dog, and I love both. (I notice she completely ignored the spraying thing, but that's a cat for you. Just ignores what they don't like.)
