I think establishing behavioral dichotomies such as these on such superficial relationships is far too akin to pseudoscientific manifestations of the same (e.g. astrology). No, a Pisces has no archetype, and neither does someone who has a preference towards a certain animal companion.

If you disagree with me then I'll establish the dichotomy of ignoramus and rationalist 🙂

Finally, someone with a brain.. heh

Although, I acually find astrology quite interesting...... It's a little more complicated than "You're a Pisces, so you're this way." It gets way more in depth than that; it's dependant on the sign that all the plants were in, not just your main sign.

😉

I find astronomy much more interesting, but I appreciate astrology for its historical influence and not necessarily its implied influence on animal (particularly human) behavior.

:beer:

I am sure it's all more or less horsesh!t.. but it doesen't appear that way, so I've found it interesting... or something.

Well, cat owners love something that doesn't love you back, never will, and simply uses you. In short, cat owners are the type of people who like to be on bottom. They're the catcher. The metaphorical woman in the relationship. There is a good chance they enjoy the company of dominatrices.

Dog owners, on the other hand, are normal people who cherish valuable relationships built from the ground up, and enjoy pursuits such as watching movies, having fun, and enjoy the company of friends.

wow your stupid, really really stupid

Oddly my virgin detector went off when I read this. I guess I need to have it calibrated...

Actually, you'd be surprised by the number of mature women that appreciate it.

My grandmother died some time ago, so count her out. 😉

Calling someone a "cat person" is a polite way of calling a man a homosexual, or a woman a spinster.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I dunno .... I like both cats and dogs. They both make great meals (jk) ... err I mean pets.

 

[tallest1]

Dog people are folks who feel their lives have no worth, so they bring in a moron animal to make them feel wanted. They think they're loved but the dogs are doing it all for the food. Dogs are horribly dependent on their masters and that makes said masters feel powerful inside and get an ego boost..... until the dog starts defecating everywhere and tearing up your furniture. Dog people's care for their pets is driven by the fear that it could kill them if they get on its bad side. Once the dog gets old, its pretty much spoiled and becomes a smelly lump on the floor and the owners who no longer feel empowered by its presense spend the next couple years pondering how to get rid of it.

I disagree. Both dog and cat owners have equal capacity to build loving relationships with their pets.

I like dogs and cats.

We need to focus on the real evil here: Bird owners. 😉

 

[jadinolf]

Dog owners are more intelligent and better looking than cat owners.

and people with cats are more likely to do stupid stuff like making their password their cat's name

Back off bitch, you have no right to say that.

I love both cats and dogs, does that make me feral? 😕

 

[torpid]

Lots of idiot posts here.

I like both animals but I have cats because a dog is too much work. It's a practicality issue. Also, I feel that there are some habits in some dogs I cannot stand. I haven't seen cats with such habits so far, but I do not assume that they don't exist. I'm just not sure what they are yet. But, the best dog will always be more fun than the best cat; though still a lot more work.

 

[PingSpike]

It's quite simple really, dog owners enjoy having mounds of festering dog sh|t all over their lawns and dog piss all over their furniture and cat owners do not.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

dog owners have dogs so they can walk them. they walk them to meet members of the oppisite sex.
cat owners simply tell other cat owners they have a cat and have there attention. even if they don't wanna leave the house the cat will sit in the window and advertise for them

Well, the Cat people come from the planet Catalonia, near the constelation Leo. Their high-tech society and superb balance gives them an edge over their natural enemies, the Dog people.

The dog people hail from Dogoran V, just a few parsecs from alpha centauri. This barbaric society has somehow managed to gain interstellar travel capabilities and routinely raids the colonies of the cat people.

As for the crab people, you have to watch that episode of south park.

I've had both Dogs and Cats as pets and I loved them equally. Cats need less attention (well most cats, the one I have now is an Attention Whore) were as dogs usually crave constant attention but also are more loyal. I've never had a cat growl at someone threatening me or my property where as my Dogs were fiercely protective.

 

[Turkish]

Both are lovely animals. I love them both, but I got a cat because they don't need me to take them out 6 times a day and they can live on their own if I leave for vacation.

I've got an attention whore of a cat too.. Always has to get all up on me if I'm on the phone because I'm obviously not paying attention to him.

 

[Linflas]

We have 10 cats and 2 dogs so I would say there is no difference.

 

[PatboyX]

cat people have no respect for those that blindly follow others with no regard for their own emotions or ideas.

Back near the beginnings of time, Adam prayed, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "Not a problem! I will create a companion for you that will be a reflection of my love for you. Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and now I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "Not a problem! Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be an exact reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."

And the Lord said, "Not a problem! I will create for him a companion who will see him as he is, and will remind him of his limitations." And God created CAT to be a
companion to Adam.

And Cat would not obey Adam.
And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. . .
And Dog was happy and wagged his tail. . .
And Adam was greatly improved. . .
And Cat really did not care one way or the other.
