Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum, and I apologize for bugging you guys already with a question. I am currently taking a survey of as many people as I can so I was wondering if you guys could help some

The question is: On a scale from 1-10 how much do you like cats as a pose to dogs
(1 being I hate dogs and love cats, 5 being I love them both the same, and 10 being I love dogs and hate cats) (You can pick in between )

I know the sample for the survey is biased, but I'm doing this on neutral and dog forums too. All your help is much MUCH appreciated.

Its a pleasure to meet all of you

I would say '4'. I love dogs also but I love cats a little bit more, mostly because they're so low maintanance, and also because they're such "characters" and keep me entertained all the time.

I'd say 3. I don't hate dogs by any means. I just don't feel the same way about them as I do cats.

BTW - I think you are showing your bias by choosing "love cats" to be the lower end of the scale!
Just playin' witcha!

W/ the best cats
I am a 3. There are many things I don't like about dogs but I don't hate the species. I have two dogs that I love very much, but there have been plenty of times when I wished they were cats.

Thank you guys very much for the input thus far! I really appreciate the time you guys take.

Hehehe Mschauer! You got me! LOL JK, sorry I it wasn't my intention to but kitties on the bottom half, it really doesn't mean much. Remember lower numbers doesn't really mean something bad, would you rather have 1 scrape on your knee or 10??? See lower numbers aren't always bad.LOL. Hehehe I like that little smily!


Anyone else? Plz & Ty

Over the river and through the woods...
I would have to say 5. I have 6 cats and 4 dogs and I love both species for different reasons. I love cats for their independence and low maintance, and because when they want attention, it's somehow more special. But, I love dogs BECAUSE of their total devotion and loyalty and need to please. Plus, they actually bring the ball back while playing fetch (my cats have yet to learn this
) Of course, with me if it has 4 legs, a tail and furry I'm in love!

I would say 3 for dogs.
I love dogs also but not as much as cats.
I never even had a cat until I was 11 but always had dogs.
The cats have never caused as much damage as the dogs did.

Oh... This is changing for me.


Two years ago-ish, would have been 8 (like dogs) and 2 (like cats), now it's probably settled about 6 / 4.

Though, like calico2222, give me anything small, furry, cute, or just plain old alive and I'm in love!!

You know thats a tough question!

Before I got Kitty a year and a half ago, the answer would have been maybe an 8.

Now its probably a 3. We hope to get a dog someday, but cats have now got a firm hold on my heart

1 or 2 for me. It's not that I hate dogs, in fact I love all animals, but I adore cats and always have. I like dogs, but I would never own one, even though by Bobcats are dog like because they do bark

Thanks everyone! All the posts are really helping a bunch. Just remember though, you aren't rating dogs and cats, you are rating yourself, placing yourself on the scale from 1-10 (1 basically catlover, 5 both cat and doglover, and 10 doglover.) I hope I didn't confuse anyone with the wording of the initial question though.


Thanks! Anyone else would like to contribute?

I don't have the connection with dogs as I do with cats. I love all animals. I just don't want to own a dog.

I would say 1-2 for dogs.

I would have to say 1...if 0 was an option I'd have picked that.
It's not that I dislike dogs I just would never want one.

This all stems from my fear of dogs...a German Shepard tried to eat my leg off with I was 5 years old.

Besides, nothing beats the sound of a cat purring in your ear.
