cats are dumb

it's not that cats are dumb, it's that they don't give a flying fuck about anything other than what entertains them.
 
my boyfriend's cat wants to lay on my lap. fine. but every time she's laying on me, she starts digging her claws into my stomach.

every time she starts digging her claws into me, I pick her up and place her on the floor. after the second instance, my dog would have understood the cause-and-effect nature of what was going on and would have stopped scratching me if he wanted to lay in my lap... this has been going on with this fucking cat for like 18 hours, though :hmm:

I can only draw the conclusion that dogs >>> cats
You are the cat's property, learn to deal with it. She's nesting. Your stomach is clearly prime real estate to birth her new litter.
 
If cats and dogs were people, or rather, if you met someone who acted like a cat and someone who acted like a dog, which would you rather hang out with? The dude who is constantly staring at you, waiting for you to play with him, whimpering when he can't see you, hanging his head out the window of the car like a retard...

Or the cat who is just there to hang out with you. Every once in a while he'll call you up to see what you're doing or see if you want to do something. But he doesn't base his whole life around you.
ime, dogs are like a good friend who just wants to hang out and have a bit of fun while cats are like that crazy bitch you dated once for a couple of weeks because, even if you are petting them gently, you never know when they are going to go batshit insane and break out the teeth and/or claws and try to fuck you up.
 
Cats are dumber than dogs. I had moderate success in training a cat to leave the house if I say, "Out out" and open the door for him to leave.

I also trained him to come to me if I have food. He's pretty stupid though. Sometimes I drop the food in front of him and he can't find the food so I have to point it out to him.
 
ORLY?

I think its usually from girls being in denial and wearing WAY too tight of pants for their actual size.

If those pants let go its gonna be worse than a Japanese nuclear reactor!

Let me paraphrase your argument.

"Sandwiches are dumber than pencils. I've had no success training a sandwich to write on paper when I put it in my hand. The pencil does exactly what I tell it to unlike the sandwich."
 
Put a dog and a cat in their own room with 1 bowl of food and 1 bowl of water. Now go away for a while. When you get back the cat will be alive the dog wont, since the dog will eat all the food at once and starve to death.

my dog manages his own food 🙁

we keep his bowl full all the time. when he's hungry, he eats... he actually seems to manage his weight too; when he was getting less exercise during the winter, he ate less.
 
or the cat knows exactly what it is doing and doesn't give a shit about you or your lessons.

this. you can beat the crap out of them and they'll still do it and then just run from you all the time. they seriously don't give a crap and do what they want. i gave up years ago...you can train them for certain things, but you can't train them to not do what they will want to do.

mine won't, they eat all their food at once and meow like crazy when they get hungry again till they die, usually they'll eat plastic or lint, whatever they can get down their throat. both cats and dogs can be pretty stupid in various ways, but dogs train easier
