You can walk them with a leash and harness.

I prefer cats for many reasons, few of which: because I dont have to walk
them, I don't have to bathe them, they are clean re the litterbox, and

they
are independent.

I grew up around dogs but I knew people who had cats and I preferred the
felines. I don't regret my choice in siding with the cats. I'll never have
dogs in my household.

I grew up with cats, so naturally I preferred them to dogs, also I was a

bit
afraid of dogs because I never learned how to deal with them.

Then daughter 'forced' me into getting a small dog, and I found out what
wonderful creatures they a
-real true friends, not false at all
-faithful
-teachable
-teachers to handle your own temper
-guardians
-fun to play with
-healthy because you have to go for walks,
thankfully my dog refuses to go for walks when it rains :-)
-sporty, I even ended up at some dog competitions - and enjoyed them!! We
even won some prizes
-and I learned to overcome my fear of dogs and how to handle them

properly.

So my solution is: have a cat _and_ a dog ... if you can, because cats are
sooo cuddly.

Cats are not stupid. They are also more intelligent than we humans.

Dogs are stupid, and so are cats, so why bother? Because cats are stupid

in
a much more "intelligent" way than dogs. This has to do with the cat's
built-in independence. Cats are emotional and caring creatures, and they
don't try to be that to please me, as a dog will, but because they mean

it.

Humans are plenty dumb. They are ignorant, cause wars and basically destroy
their own environment. Humans are also more violent than any other creature
on this planet.

Humans beat canines or felines in the stupidity department any day though.

Humans are suppost to be smarter, wiser etc etc.

The cats probably said "if dogs are willing to subject themselves to a study
than they have proved without a doubt that we are smarter."

I read once (perhaps in here) that you feed a dog, love it, care for it,

and
it
looks at you and thinks you must be god. You feed a cat, love it, care

for
it and it looks at you and thinks I must be god g. Cats are more
independent
by nature but that doesn't mean they are "smarter". Studies have proven
that dogs have a greater capacity for learning. Of course we have no idea
if that's because they are smarter or because the cats in the study didn't
want
to participate. :-)

snip

I did not have a choice on what my decision would be, as I am tied to cats.
I walk side by side with the big cat (bengal tiger). My spirit guide is the
cat! I have tried living without cats, and it does not work for me. I am
tied to them in more ways than one. Want to talk about someone being
depressed, take my feline companions away from me. When it comes to
choosing a buddy for me, I am not allowed to choose, as they usually choose
for me. Tigger, my buddy now, chose me 5 years ago. we are inseperable and
understand each other. We are soul mates!
I do, on the other hand have a dog. I love Bear to death. He is a 80 pound
Lab/Husky mix. He is smart as a whip and very protective, but the sweetest
thing in the world. He has been fully trained, does not jump, does as he is
told to do, and gets very pouty when you are upset with him. He is very
well behaved. He is this way though because I spent hours upon hours with
him training him. Dogs need training. Cats.........they train us )

DD and Tigger
