Dogs are inferior. Only few dog breeds can be good.

Cats are awesome. More the short haired than long haired.

Cats do no have to.

Dogs do what they are told to cause they are mindless creatures.

they're not mindless, they're one of the most intelligent animals on the planet
close to apes, as research have shown
they care about us and they want to help us and protect us
cats are selfish, are with you only bc of food and shelter, dogs are with you bc they "love" you

I guess humans always like to have a servant ie: someone to do do things for them instead of doing it themselves.

tbh only bc of what they do to wildlife
if that could be controlled I'd have no problem with them

so it's not about cats, but you
there're plenty of quiet dogs

they see it as cooperation, give and take, as should we

only humans have a concept of master-servant dynamics, dogs don't
we should see ourselves as guardians of our animals not masters

Not all cats are bad as long as the owner has them trained , but overall I agree Dogs are more loyal and useful & intelligent .

Are they really more intelligent though? I mean does doing what the human tells you to do make you more or less intelligent?

Vitale Shreve and Herculano-Houzel both said that it’s difficult to study intelligence using behavioral studies, which typically involve on animals performing tasks or solving puzzles. Also, few studies have directly compared dog and cat cognition, and in fact, only a handful of researchers study cats at all. Vitale Shreve said until scientists find the right methods to investigate dogs and cats together, it’s really not fair to make comparisons.

“There’s this perception of cats being untrainable or maybe hard to work with,” Vitale Shreve said. “Cats display a lot of individual variation and have distinct personalities, which make it hard for researchers to understand them.”

In summary, intelligence is a nuanced and complicated thing
