Sure, we all love our pets, but that doesn’t mean that can’t annoy us from time to time. So, if you own both cats and dogs, which of the two annoys you the most? My cats win this prize by a wide margin. I wonder if the same is true for most people. Love my cats, just saying. 🙂 ETA: Own or have owned I should say. ---

Dogs. I love them, but gone untrained they can be annoying. They stick their nose in crotches. Jump all over company. I hate getting “kissed” by them. They need baths. Some eat their poop. Cats DEFINATLY are annoying too. Like my cat, He’s an asshole sometimes. And he KNOWS he’s being an asshole. But I love them both. ---

I love cats very, very much. But there’s no doubt they are the assholes of the pet kingdom. ---

Cats annoy my nasal passages, sinuses, and tear ducts. So, even though I am by nature a Cat Person, I have two dogs. Small and very cat-like dogs who like to curl up in the sun and nap most of the day. However, even cat-like dogs want more attention than a cat, and often want to be my Pal when I would prefer to be left alone. “Hey! You can read that book with one hand! Use the other one to scratch my head!” ---

We have a dong and cat. With the dog, it’s like having another kid to deal with. The cat is very adult-like in is existence. So while I like my dog (and love my kids), I voted that the dog is more annoying. ---

I voted cats. I’ve lived with two dogs and more than a dozen cats (not all at the same time). Those dogs wre definitely less annoying than any two of the cats. However cats being annoying are generally funnier 🙂 ---

I adore both, and it’s a close race but I think dog breath clinches it. ---

I love dogs as soul companions, which means they can drive me much crazier than cats. ---

The dog for sure. The cat might prefer if I got up at 6 am on weekends as I do durng the week to prepare a bowl of canned food, lest he starve to death with nothing but a bowl of kibble to eat, but the dog positively insists, loudly, and then threatens to shit on the carpet if I don’t comply. Just once, I’d really, really like to sleep in on the weekend. ---

> [@Happy\_Lendervedder](#): > > With the dog, it’s like having another kid to deal with. The cat is very adult-like in is existence. So while I like my dog (and love my kids), I voted that the dog is more annoying. I don’t own either right now, but my experience is a lot like this. Dogs are very needy in attention and activity. Cats have their needs and flaws, but they’re more like living with a roommate than a child. Anyway, a nomination for “Other” - parrots. It’s like a two year old who can bite your finger off and who will stay a two year old for _decades_. I probably shouldn’t fault the parrot as much as the owners - they’re really not suited to being caged pets. Whoever’s fault it is, they’re messy, noisy, mean and many outlive their owners. ---

> [@brainstall](#): > > Just once, I’d really, really like to sleep in on the weekend. Heh. My prior big Dane boy lived to sleep draped over me, and days when I was sick or otherwise stayed in bed were “dog’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world.” My new boy is six months old and learning the joys of snuggling, but I haven’t been allowed to sleep past 7:15 for four months now. ---

We have a dog and 2 cats, and the dog is definitely more annoying more of the time. She’s got a piercing bark used to announce the presence of cars on the road or leaves falling from the trees. She hogs the footrest of my recliner when I’m trying to recline. She sheds at least three times her body weight daily - there are black hairs all over the house! The cats never cause my eardrums to bleed - they rarely make a sound above a loud purr. They’ve been known to lie next to me or on me when I’m in the recliner or in bed, but they just snuggle in to steal my body heat. OK, they both shed, but not nearly as much as the dog. On the other hand, the dog doesn’t try to snooze on my keyboard when I’m on line… ---

4 cats, 1 dog here. Personally, our cats annoy me more than the dog (the pooch’s trained to a T), but other peoples’ dogs are always worse than their cats. ---

Its gotta depend. There are an awful lot of psycho inbred pedigree animals out there which can be pretty to look at, but will snap and bite viciously with no warning. ---

I don’t own dogs or cats but my parents have two cats and they are a joy and a treasure. I am constantly annoyed by the dogs owned by the other people in my apartment building. ---

Compelling argument, **Trancephalic** , but my cat is equal to it in sequential meows. And he doesn’t even have balls to lick! I guess a dog would have the volume to annoy more people though. A cat can only drive people insane one single household at a time. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-annoys-you-more-dog-or-cat/770533.md?page=2)
