There really is no problem between cats and dogs as long as the
dog knows its place! Some people are cat people and some are dog
people. How do they compare? And what of other animals?
Cat's motto: No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it
look as if the dog did it.

A cat sleeping on your bed is a far more pleasant companion than a ninety-pound
Labrador with bad breath. Furthermore, cats do not snore or break wind.

A cat will sit washing his face within two inches of a dog in the most
frantic state of barking rage, if the dog be chained.

Among animals, cats are the top-hatted, frock-coated statesmen going
about their affairs at their own pace. Dogs are the peasants, dutifully
plodding behind their leaders.

are gibberish in neutral.

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through
snow.

Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time
they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren't like this. A dog's idea of
personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish.
- James Gorman
Cats are to dogs what modern people are to the people we used to have.
Cats are slimmer, cleaner, more attractive, disloyal, and lazy. Cats are
irresponsible and recognize no authority, yet are completely dependent
on others for their material needs. Cats cannot be made to do anything
useful. Cats are mean for the fun of it. In fact, cats possess so many
of the same qualities as some people (expensive girlfriends, for instance)
that it's often hard to tell the people and the cats apart.
- P. J. O'Rourke
Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.

Dogs tend to bravado. They're braggarts. In the great evolutionary drama,

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us
as equals.

If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a
cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.

If animals could speak the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow,
but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.

In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should
have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.
- Dereke Bruce
The visionary chooses a cat; the man of concrete a dog. Hamlet must have
kept a cat. Platonists, or cat lovers, include sailors, painters, poets,
and pickpockets. Aristotelians, or dog lovers, include soldiers, football
players, and burglars.

There is one way in which cats differ from all other animals and that
is in the effect they have on human beings.

If so, I should say, Amen."

find humans useful domestic animals.

themselves happier with a dog.

There is the little matter of disposal of droppings in which the cat
is far ahead of its rivals. The dog is somehow thrilled by what he or
any of his friends have produced, hates to leave it, adores smelling it,
and sometimes eats it...The cat covers it up if he can...
- Paul Gallico
We have a theory that cats are planning to take over the world, just
