Welcome to animal kingdon  and in this  episode of vs. we're comparing the domestic cat with its canine counterpart the domestic dog to see which is the perfect pet no now is not the time for a  plate of meatloaf now's the time for a plate of curry Garfield left to hold the snack round one the difficulty of care since we've had a lady we see less and less of those disturbing headlines caring for animals can be a lot of work and when you're looking to take in a dog or a cat one should consider the related responsibilities right from the start dogs demands significant attention due to their need for initial training and housebreaking which can take around two months we've had all this - has renovates didn't know dogs that your eyes will just live in a sir the dog piss everywhere additionally it's recommended that dogs not be left alone all day to say nothing of their daily need for walks and another care counting cats differ in that they can cope when  their owner departs for an extended period of time and can very easily adopt habits like using a litter box they're also stereotypically more independent than dogs on the whole meaning they don't necessarily require as much attention and affection that can either be a bad thing or a good thin because if you've got a busy lifestyle and are always on the go a more the self-sufficient animal may be a better choice for you in light of their relatively low maintenance nature we give the cats this point winner cats oh listen he's purring oh so now it's cute round two cleanliness as with humans pet hygiene is crucial and there are clear distinctions in how cats and dogs are kept clean many dogs require constant upkeep though the frequency varies from breed to breed owners should ensure their dogs are bathed and groomed on a constant basis contrary to popular belief, not all dogs can swim or even like water so it's not always easy getting them into the bath and if you've got a long-haired dog beware of shedding and allergies not to mention tangles if you don't maintain your pooch felines of course also shed and can also trigger allergies in fact cat allergies are twice as common as dog allergies and while you won't find any fully hypoallergenic cats there are some steps you can take to lessen the symptoms as for maintenance cats as a rule does not require bathing as they lick themselves and even other cats regularly though it is suggested that long-haired cats are brushed regularly based on their general ability to remain clean cats win the round winner cats round three variety of breeds both dogs and cats offer a plethora of breeds for potential owners to choose from bigger small self-sufficient or in need of attention there's something for everyone in both cats and dogs some of the most popular breeds of cats include high-maintenance Persian highly social and athletic Siamese winter-friendly Maine and the British Shorthair but regardless of the breed cats remain small across the board dogs very even more wildly from the tall Great Danes to the tiny Pomeranians even among medium-sized dogs the variation between breeds such as devoted golden retrievers highly trainable German shepherds and attention loving Bulldogs is quite astounding how they just let it right in camera, the camera be like what's up given the great diversity of breeds available dogs take the point winner dogs round for functionality in addition to house training and tricks the topic of function is not uncommon when it comes to cats and dogs each is uniquely suited to certain tasks and purposes cats are well known for their hunting and killing of rodents generally being effective at driving out mice rats and other animals of the sort however their skillset doesn't extend far beyond that in short as mentioned cats are usually considered more independent dogs meanwhile are known for their loyalty trained ability and devotedness to humans which is why they're considered man's best friend and have been trained to help humans in many ways Pullum boy they're routinely sought for many jobs like sniffing out drugs for the police acting as service dogs assisting in hunting or even simply protecting their owner in the home yeah what are you gonna do let me in your help good I love you for the multitude of roles that they can adopt dogs win the round winner dogs round five interactivity chic uh-huh speak hi there when it comes to pets perhaps the greatest measure of their value is how they interact with their owners both in terms of activities and where interactions occur cats are largely indoor oriented typically enjoying things on their own terms when an owner can get their attention cats are often entranced by simple items such as laser pointers string and yarn they have a particular fixation on basic games that let them stalk and pounce on 

objects cats do show affection for their 

human masters and can be social creatures but as mentioned they usually prefer to stay indoors meaning if you like to explore the great outdoors kitties may not be your best companion all right Pongo all right boy dogs can play well both indoors and outdoors obviously smaller dogs are more suited for smaller places but all dogs need to go outside and get some fresh air from time to time in their natural habitat dogs will engage more directly with their owners a common activity for owners is to take their dogs to the park and play fetching games with them so canines will definitely help you stay healthy by forcing you to do more exercise which builds strong bonds between you and your pet in the process you know how to cut to the core of me Baxter oh oh you're so wise but like a miniature Buddha covered in hair because of the clearer sense of bonding and interaction dogs win the round winner 

dogs 

as it stands we feel the utility and interactive nature of dogs coupled with their vast array of breeds outweigh the simplicity of owning a cat that said feel free to keep up the discussion in the comments below and be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com anything else you'd like to tell your fans
