Seriously, let’s end this thing. Here and now.
We are in the end times. We are atop Mount Zion and a decision must be made so that mankind, nay the known universe, can be saved. Internet. We must decide.
Cats or dogs.
Cats. Or. Dogs.
You may think this has nothing to do with video games. You may be right. It’s much more important than that.
Choose.
Choose.
Choose.

not so much as a cat lover, but rather cat preference, but i love both
Have 3 cats and 1 dog but I prefer some of column A and some from B.
Cats, but other people’s dogs.
I love the cats but hate the shedding hair. Love the dog but she is only 12 weeks old or there abouts so cannot hold it over night. Plus if I am a little slack there are accidents. Cats on the other hand learn from a very early age where to go. The dog on the other hand would not have anything to do with pads or even the same spot each time in the house. Still, love them all.
*Throws hands up in the air*
GUINEA PIGS!
How many games have had cat companions? Torchlight maybe. Dog companions? A lot. Your Honour, I rest my case.
“Objection!”
…
In true Phoenix Wright style, I just yelled out without having an actual defence.
Case dismissed. The Court takes judicial notice of the prevalence of cat videos to dog videos on the internets being no less than a ratio of …
Holy shit – there are 2.9 BILLION dog video search results on the internet!?! Only 206 million cat video search results…
I’ll see myself out.
Cats.
All other personal opinions are subjectively incorrect.
Dogs, I don’t like begging for affection from my animals
Cats. I don’t like animals begging for my affection.
Didn’t Splatoon already settle this?
Damn you Serrels!
As soon as I click dogs, I feel bad for not choosing cats.

Come up with original questions like:
Vag vs Ass
DP vs 3P vs 4P
Kotaku vs garbage
Mark Serrels vs Fart Serrels
clearly the desired outcome of that poll wasn’t reached.
Vag
3P
Kotaku (mostly)
Mark Serrels
is that receiving or giving multiple penetrations?
Cats.
They don’t grow to be ridiculously large, they can use a litter box, and the sound of them purring on your lap is the greatest.
Just because cats can use a litterbox, it doesn’t mean they actually do.
Sounds like someone puts off cleaning their cat’s litter box.
I prefer a dog crapping on my lawn to a cat crapping in a box inside the house.
But what about a cat crapping outside and burying it too. Much better than that lazy dog.
“They don’t grow to be ridiculously large, they can use a litter box”
I take both of these the opposite way you intended. Litter trays are the most disgusting things… these cats can’t get through their heads that outside is toilet we don’t need a tray with sand/gravel/crystals in the corner for you to go in.
Yuck…
Dogs for the win. (Sorry Charli((my cat)))
You can train cats to just go outside. You put the box near the cat flap, and after a while, put it on the outside of the catflap, slowly move it towards a flower bed, and eventually they’ll just go out there. Or you train them to use the toilet…
Mine have a catio/outdoor run, but they don’t have free reign to go where they like – it’s an industrial area, and with many busy roads and a large stray population with high FIV incidence.
Recycled paper litter I’ve found the best.
Aldi has an unreal cat litter – amazingly absorbent; only need to change it once a fortnight, just scoop out the moonrocks that get left behind from the clumping.
Then let your cat out lol. Cats instinctively bury their shit to hide their scent from predators
She is an outside cat…. perhaps she is just an idiot lol
If it was a big dog vs a cat, then I’m pretty sure the dog would kick the sh*t out of the cat. Or like a rottweiler or pitbull vs a cat.
Smaller dogs is a bit more of a gamble. They’re all bark and not much bite. And cat’s can really scratch the living f*ck out of flesh….
At the end of the day, my money’s on still on dogs though.
I’d go a lion against any dog one on one 😉
I didn’t know you could domesticate a lion to live in a house / property 😉
You’d need a sizeable litter box.
You can in Dubai! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en8cwOCMrAc
Neither. I’m not particularly fond of either of them, though I absolutely detest cats and can’t stand them. So dogs are the lesser of the two evils for me but that does not mean I’m a dog person.
How about a budgie?
Cats suit my lifestyle better but I love both.
Aside from the obligatory “Why not both?” Old El Paso girl, if it absolutely must be one or the other then cats come out on top.
POR QUE NO LOS DOS!!?!?!?!
Cats are better than dogs.
But they all suck. Birds are better. And reptiles are cooler.
WHERE’S MY OPTION FOR DUCKS OR CHOOKS WHAT IS THIS COMMUNISM
It’s a two-party-preferred system, it’s all the rage with the kids these days.
A poultry effort?
Oh Gooky… oh that is so bad it’s good XD
Ducks all the way!
fuck ducks, what about Geese!?
Geese are jerks. They’re like that one uncle of ducks that gets drunk and belligerent at family gatherings.
And Swans. “Look at me being a fucking fabulous swan!?!?!” *snaps someones arm*
Bunch of dick birds.
the option for ducks is in hell where they belong
Ducks are great. Geese … even other ducks hate geese.
Geese kick the shit out of ducks. such a more beastly animal.
Come on, it’s a gaggle of geese. They’re mean as shit but you can’t take that seriously XD
thats why theyre so awesome.
they’re all like “hey, check out our fucking stupid collective noun for geese…”
then while you are busy laughing your ass off at the word ‘gaggle’,
RRRROOOOOAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR – they’re fucking going nuts at your unsuspecting ass.
Right in the sphincter!
Geese are literally satan. I’ll have to disagree about ducks, but that’s purely on me because I’ve had a weirdly traumatic duck attack when I was younger where one tried to attack my face and ended up getting caught in my hair and it was surprisingly not fun and has left me with a fear of ducks. So yeah, ducks can stay the hell away from me and I’ll stay away from them
*hugs* I love ducks. They go really well brushed with hoi-sin in the oven for about an hour 😉
I had a traumatic duck moment when I was young.
My older sister scared it and it had a seizure, so it swam around in a circle with its head tilted to the side for about 30 minutes before recovering like nothing had ever happened.
that’d be terrifying to watch

*squint* I may have to have words with you. If I can remember how to talk on PSN.
that is such a cute picture that it makes me forget what the poll is about.
Who want’s a love heart flower?
I like my cat but i love my dog however if i had to choose i would go the cat.
Reason is this the cat doesn’t sleep on my head and snort in my ear all night.
They do when its cold (like mine do)
I’ve had several cats that dribbled on me when they were happy…lol
My childhood cat would lay on my head but all of my cats since that one have not, So i am probably just going on current experience.
I have never had the cat drool on me but wife has been drowned a few times in cat drool lol.
FYI i did not vote as i can tolerate both quiet easily.
Coca-cola or Pepsi?
THIS HERE’S COKE COUNTRY BOY
Pepsi max baby
Dogs are cool.
But the cats I serve are hilarious. 🙂
Cats are like celebrities and dogs are like the paparazzi. Cats will strut around like they own the joint, licking themselves and each other in public, and generally acting the fool. As soon as a dog shows up, however, the cat acts all offended and tends to piss off quick smart. Dogs just hang around panting with their lenses hanging out 😉
Funny analogy. Not far off.
Our three:
Jack is nervous. He hides from kids and dogs, usually in our bed. This is a cat who was an RSPCA rescue. Beautiful tabby, but was very badly treated (he’s had a broken leg at some point), was probably semi-feral and was terrified of strangers, particularly men, for ages. A friend of ours took him from the shelter, then discovered her kids were highly allergic, and that cats and internal motion sensor alarms aren’t compatible so was locking him in a utility room all day when she was at work and the kids at school. She was going to return him to the shelter. He wouldn’t have been adopted out again and would probably have been killed so we took him. Taken a lot of gentle work over a couple of years to get him confident and able to sit with company, but he’s a great cat now.
Saffy is a princess. Kids she bosses, dogs she just hops up on the counter and looks. Takes no shit. Doesn’t like you, she’ll let you know. Usually with a nip or a swipe… but also loves to snuggle. Right under my chin when I’m watching TV, normally. Plays well with Jack, the two of them wrestle and chase each other around. It’s like being in a cartoon sometimes.
Max… might as well be a labrador. Highly food motivated. Great with kids. Doesn’t give a shit about dogs as long as they’re not too close. Has punched a couple in the nose that were too close. Used to be an old lady’s cat. Was a fat bastard (over 9kg) but he’s trim now. 15 years old… 🙂 Likes to sleep on our bed. Which is fine until the other two arrive. Cold nights there’s two humans and three cats in that bed…
I do love dogs, but we’re DINKs with busy jobs and social lives and dogs need active exercise and company in the day. The cats just need to chase the Thing On A Stick or each other for 10 minutes a couple of times a day. So cats make better companions for us. 🙂
Dogs.
fite me irl

I hate that I have actually heard the worst part of this exchange out in the world. Word for nasally-slurred word.
haha, yup. i was reading it with real world voices ive heard also.
and we pay americans out for being the way they are and we have our own little treasures here in Aus.
Por que no los dos?
*plays la bamba*
I used to be a dog person who didn’t mind cats. Then I lived with someone who owned two cats.
I am now a dog person who hates cats with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.
i was once like you, but then we adopted two cats from a person who died. one used to vomit in the house, but had a beautiful meow. the other has the meow of a fucking harpy sliding down a razor blade and landing in petrol at the end only to be set a light, but never die. BUT he is very affectionate and will happily cuddle and enjoy being cradled and belly rubbed (he pretty much acts like a well behaved dog) but the big downside for me is the fucking kitty litter. it stinks all the time even within one day of cleaning (have tried multiple litters and sprays etc etc) and the longer i have to put up with its literal shit, the more i yearn for dopey affectionate dog. but a real dog, none of this terrier bullshit.
Dogs are cool but I’ve been attacked by more dogs than cats and dogs have destroyed more of my shit. Cats may be arseholes, but at least they don’t try to hide it
Miniature furry arsehole ninjas, is how I’ve heard them described. It’s about right.
Cat vs Dog..in What ??? In an illegal fight, in an eating challenge, by measure of the quantity they poop, their loyalty, how they taste in street food, how good they can heard sheep, the amount of wildlife they kill each year. I need judging criteria.
Cats are infinitely better than dogs for the simple fact that they’re generally a hell of a lot less needy. (In general. There are always some exceptions between breeds, of course.) So long as you make sure they’re fed, they’ll pretty much take care of themselves without bothering you much. Hell, if you don’t mind decimating the local native wildlife, you don’t even really need to bother much with food, either!
Dogs, however… they need to be socialized with and exercised with and played with and just… ugh. They’re never satisfied! It’s never enough! They’ll follow you everywhere unless you restrain them or lock them (or yourself) away from them! They always want more! Ugh. Try leaving one alone for a weekend, let alone a week. They act like it’s actual torture.
Also, the smell… Cat litter is bad, but the cat itself is fine, so if you can deal with toilet-training, they’re good. Dogs? Ugh. UGH. No. And the drool, and the licking… Ugh!
Dogs have an offensive disregard for the concept of personal space.
All your points are valid… but many want those very things you are citing as negatives. Essentially if I want a pet that i don’t need to care about get a cat. If I want a companion that I can do things with get a dog.
Plus Husky – don’t smell so if you are after a nice smelling dog go the Husky my friend….. but they are the most needy dogs going around…. so no no Husky for you
Good lord… Who in their right mind would want the responsibility of 24/7 unconditional love?!
The guilt would be unbearable!
We had a Beagle. He just sniffed shit. He was awesome. God I miss that dog :'(
You like cats, you’re team yennefer. Is there any choice you don’t get wrong transient? =P
Well, you just listed two of ’em. 🙂
Cats are alright, Dogs for the win!
Cats are like introverts. They like you, they do appreciate your attention, but don’t often pay a lot of attention to you themselves. Respect their space and ease off the love when they start wiggling their tail and your cat will love you a hell of a lot more without you having to force it to cuddle you. They’re quiet, they don’t really need to be bathed; though long-hairs might appreciate a shave or a bath in summer; and meowing is infinitely less annoying than barking; they can play peekaboo and will fetch things (but not return them) and playing with them is fun and easy. Small and big ones can be kept quite easily in apartments.
Dogs require a lot more attention, infrequent bathing, walking outdoors.. walking outdoors inevitably leads to becoming a “dog park douchebag”; on the other hand, dogs actively seek out your love and will play more intricate games with you. Small ones can be kept in apartments.
They both have their pros and their cons. Cats slightly outweigh dogs because I’m an introvert.
How is there not an option for both? We have 3 cats, 1 male 2 female (all desexed), a female white german shepherd (also desexed), and are looking at getting a second dog.
Cats for my partner and I. 🙂
