Cats or Dogs?

It’s the battle of the furry friends! Cats and dogs are a part of many families. But which animal makes the better pet?

Cat lovers say their pets are easier to care for, since you can leave them home alone. You also don’t need to take them outside for walks. Plus, cats are quieter than most dogs.

However, dog owners argue that the extra effort is worth it. They point out that dogs tend to be friendlier and more loving. And walking a dog helps pet owners get exercise.

Here’s what two of our readers say.

There are many reasons cats are better than dogs. First, cats are cleaner. They give themselves baths by licking their fur. Cats also take up less room than dogs. And they don’t eat as much.

When dogs are bored, they can get into things they’re not supposed to. That can cause trouble. They’re rougher than cats too. One time, my dog accidentally bit my finger while trying to get her toy. It hurt!

Dogs aren’t just man’s best friend. They’re everyone’s best friend! Cats are all the same. They just pee, poop, sleep, and eat. Dogs like to play and go on runs and walks with you. They also have more personality than cats. My dog, Mako, is funny and goofy.

Dogs are smarter than cats too. You can teach them tricks. Some dogs are even trained to be service pets. They keep their owners safe.
