Red-Robbo Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 The missing cat thread on the football forum seems to have opened up the old cat owner v dog owner divide. So, which pet do you like? Me, I have both and like both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dogs have owners, cats have staff. Never trust a man who doesn't like a dog, always trust a dog that doesn't like a man. Anyway, this is my beaut. She'll eat cats for breakfast.

Red-Robbo Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 My view is that dogs are more loving and faithful (though cats can be very affectionate too), but the flipside is they are more needy and high-maintenance. I love my springer - although she did eat my chequebook last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Not a big fan of cats to be honest,but I don't think I could cope with the stress of wondering where it is all the time.Worst part of owning a dog is breaking up dog fights.

Ronnie Sinclair Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dogs - I have no real issue with cats other than the fact I seem to be allergic to them.

Frenchay Red Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Cats? No thanks, much rather have the never ending love, loyalty and fantastic company of my beautiful girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dog, personally dislike cats. No loyalty, do what they want, go where they want, and the one that lives 2 doors down likes to sit on the fence or shed and torment our dog (well not so much after it got wet one time ). Anyway, here's Belle - Dachshund with a small bit of Jack Russell (mum was 1/4 Jack). She's 2 in November, and can be a gobby cow when she wants, but is so loving and loyal.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 10, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dogs for me, could never work out the attraction of a cat, I have taught dogs how to track, to compete at manwork and have never seen a cat doing that......

TBW Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Neither. Complete lack of freedom owning animals. Can't just go away for a weekend spontaneously, can't just go out directly after work, insurance, pet food, walks, unnecessary animal noises when you're watching TV, animals craving attention when you're busy. Rather just be left alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Dogs for me. The bond between dog and owner is something very special. I lost my 13 year old black Lab at the end of last year. It broke my heart. I still have a 14 year old Patterdale going strong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 So there we have it.Cats would appear to be the Bristol Rovers of the pet world with a rather poor showing of support ,although their owners were probably to busy at rained off balloon festivals,waiting for cricket matches to start,headbutting minibuses or being locked out of their phones to register their vote.

Was 3 hours between taking her to the vet for being off her food for a few days and her going to sleep. We were devastated. Didn't help I had to go straight from the vet's to the airport to get a flight to UK. Cried for pretty much the whole journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I love all animals each species goes to make up the rich tapestry of nature which is why it is so worrying that human beings are driving hundreds of them into extinction every year . Dogs and cats give us different forms of reward in ownership , equally I was surprised that Rodney, a guinea pig that I looked after whilst the owner went on holiday , soon showed intelligence and desire to ‘ communicate ‘ with me . ( although his constant use of text language was a pain. :laugh: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is also Dachshund/Jack Russell but she’s got a much longer coat. She’s about 15 now! Still as playful as ever even if she’s slowed down quite a bit! Not looking forward to the inevitable.

Taz Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Has she got the side to her that barks at a leaf, ignores the small dogs and barks at the big ones as well? So many we see whilst out and about and most of the owners say exactly the same things!! We've joined up with a group through Facebook, and meet up on the first Sunday of every month near us (Hoddesdon), and it's great seeing them all running around with each other. They act completely different around "their own" than other breeds. Like I said she can be infuriating at times with her barking and stubborness, but we couldn't be without her!

Dollymarie Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cats for me, having had both. Dogs you have more of a bond with, but they’re harder work. Cats are easier, bugger off for ages and take care of themselves, but at the same time give you more stress because they bugger off. Here’s my two, Lola the tabby and Bruce the black and white one. Both lunatics in their own ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
