Dog versus cat: Who will take home the title of Best Pet?

Can’t we all just get along? It would seem we cannot.

YES, WE KNOW it’s a debate that has raged for many a year but we believe there are new things to take into account.

Instead of asking whether you are a cat person or a dog person, we’ve turned the attention onto the animals themselves and devised a number of scenarios to see which one comes out on top as the best pet.

Let’s get ready to rumble!

1. Greeting their owner after a long absence

This is so sweet.

2. Playing games

There is no doubt that this dog has a certain je ne sais quoi.

But this cat is on fire! We would actually watch a full length game of this.

3. Going for a walk

Cats don’t do “walks.”

Dogs, on the other hand…

4. Doing tricks

Always impressive. Always creepy.

But this dog has got some serious self-control.

5. Meal times

Cats don’t tend to wait their turn.

But dogs tend to chew with their mouths open.

6. Comfort potential

We always thought dogs were automatically the more comforting of these species, but now we’re not so sure.

7. Companionship

There’s this logic:

Or there’s this display of inter-species harmony.

8. Entertainment value

Dogs are adorable but when it comes to gifs and viral videos, we’ve got to give it to our feline friends. Special shout out to Grumpy Cat – the face that launched a thousand memes.

But for the love of God, don’t poke the beast.
