Cats do exhibit love - but they need to be seduced.
Dogs are easy, they’ll lick your face at the drop of a hat.
I think perhaps this explains why most men prefer dogs. 
I have both cats and dogs (3 of each) and the dog hair always outweighs the cat hair - by about 40x. Ugh, I am constantly cleaning up dog hair. I love my dogs, but I am definitely a cat person.
A lot of men hate cats because they can’t control them like dogs.
And that dog smell! Gawd, I don’t know how anyone can stand that smell. And that’s AFTER you wash them. Wash them once or twice a week and they STILL smell. I’ve never had to wash a cat and they still DON’T stink.
Certainly, in the context of Australia’s ecological good health, anyone who cares even one iota about the environment will readily concede that cats are the worst animal ever to be placed upon this earth.
In Australia, there isn’t a marsupial under 12 inches in height which isn’t in danger of becoming extinct, such is the amazing ability of the domestic cat to hunt and kill in a landscape where it faces zero competition from any other predator. And it’s not just marsupials either - small reptiles like lizards and our gorgeous birdlife are on the verge of extinction in some areas too.
Hundreds of thousands of years of unique evolution being destroyed in the space of less than a century or so.
Horrible animals.
It’s quite common now to come across billabongs in the outback which traditionally would have been an oasis teeming with life, and there isn’t a thing. Not a bird, not a marsupial, or a lizard or anything. And the last creature to leave it’s skeleton behind before it died? A fucking cat…
You’re absolutely wrong, dantheman. That should be:
I love dogs AND cats. I’m the smart one.
When Cecil was a kid…
…a cat killed his dad.
hmmm… yeah, unconditional love, why would anyone want that?
He is intimidated by superior beings.
Rudyard Kipling explained very well why men like dogs but three out of five men hate cats in The Cat that Walked by Himself
Smartest man in the world, that Cecil…
I’m with Cecil… the only pussy I like is between my womans legs 
It matters because when he posts what we take as FACTS like Which is smarter, cats or dogs?how can we trust him. How can we know that he isn’t letting opinion get in the way of his facts.
I realize that the cite I listed he says you can’t make the comparison, but that’s a cop out. You CAN compare apples to oranges. They are both fruits. Apples are hard, Oranges are soft. See? Easy. And it’s easy to compare cat intelligence with dog intelligence, without bringing opinion into it. compare them both to human intelligence, which at the root is what we mean when we ask the question, “which animal is smarter.” Cat’s, like humans, can handle new situations better than dogs. Therefore, cats are smarter.

I personally like both. I had a dog which I loved very much until he died from being old and various health problems that started to creep up on him. A couple weeks ago, I went to the local animal shelter and after looking at dogs and cats, got a nice cat, who I love just as much as my dog.
There are differences, but it’s nice not having to walk the cat and not cleaning up messes, though there is the little matter of training him to scratch the post and not the couch.
This may be Blasphmeny, but I’ve never assumed Cecil is infallible or the smartest anything on earth (though I do find his colemns interesting and browse these boards everyday). I’ve disagreed with some of his conclusions on certain questions/issues. If you feel Cecil is wrong, don’t be afraid to call him on it.
Short-haired breeds always shed the most - that’s how the hair stays short.
