Default Top Ten reasons to Own a Cat Instead of a Dog



The following is from an article in Cat Fancy magazine titled:

Garfield Weighs in on Cats Versus Dogs and was supposedly wote by
Garfield.


10. No need to drool-proof your Home.
9. A cat has absolutely no romantic interest in your leg.
8. Nothing spooks a burglar like stepping on a cat.
7. I heard dog breath actually killed a person in Arkansas.
6. A cat always returns your car with a full tank of gas.
5. A cat will keep your yard free of pesky birds.
4. A cat will not drag you out in a blizzard just to piddle on a tree.
3. Ever seen Cujo??
2. Dog ---- Fetch, roll over, sit up beg.
Cat ---- Drive, balance checkbook, give CPR.
1. Garfield versus Odie. Case closed.

Garfield cartoon last week actually made me laugh out loud. Huge,
dopey looking dog (not Odie) flounces up to Garfield and says "HI
KITTY!" Gar. says "You're looking happy," and the dog says "I AM! MY
OWNER SAID I WAS A GOOD DOGGIE!" Garfield rolls eyes, says "Sometimes
I envy dogs."

Garfield apparently hasn't met Roxy.

9. A cat has absolutely no romantic interest in your leg.


No, they just want to give you welts on your collarbone!

6. A cat always returns your car with a full tank of gas.


Wait - isn't this from "Why cats are better than teenagers?"

2. Dog ---- Fetch, roll over, sit up beg.
Cat ---- Drive, balance checkbook, give CPR.


And I guess Garfield has never seen Toonces, either.

Don't know about balancing checkbooks, but I feel certain that almost
any cat could do a better job of that than I can. Agreed about the CPR.
Especially if your bladder is full and isn't breathing.

A cat will leave uneaten rabbits in your kitchen.

Default Top Ten reasons to Own a Cat Instead of a Dog

And, the dog's list:

10. Knows more commands than "finicky" and "sleep in the sun"
9. Glad to see you when you get home
8. Barking activates "The Clapper" when you're tired and want to
turn off TV
7. Recognizes when you pull into the driveway
6. Fetches slippers and news paper
5. Doesn't mind if you get another dog
4. Eats your chocolate so you don't gain weight
3. Doesn't eat potted plants
2. Barks at burglars
1. Lassie goes for help when the burglars tie you up
