Are You a Dog or Cat Lover?


 

Batman and Robin( top photo)-My two current naughty but loving Companions

Last April, Ditas, Carenna and I adopted two cats who were only 3 and 4 months old. We named them Batman and Robin. The two were buddies in the Animal Shelter, sharing the same cage. They were both neutered males.  Batman was older and bigger. To my surprise the younger and smaller Robin has a more dominant and aggressive personality. Batman is calm and independent. Robin is mischievous, naughty and very needy. Both of them take turns setting on my lap while I am watching TV or in my computer. Adapting the two of them instead of just one is the best decision I have made.       

For the last six decades, the David B Katague clan had owned several dogs and cats. When the 4D's ( Dodie, Dinah, David E and Ditas) were growing up in Kansas City, and California) we have several dogs of various breeds, from German Shepherd to Chow Chow. We also had cats ( Kalua) for pets. However, we have more dogs than cats. Today, daughter Ditas has a dog ( Leif) and Dinah has a cat ( Mango) and I have 2 cats ( Batman and Robin). The other day Dinah and her Cat Mango visited me and we talked about the differences of the personality between dog and cat owners. Thus this blog.   

Mango-Dinah's Cat-Dinah said Mango reminds her of Kalua- our first pet cat
 

There has been an endless unspoken friendly war between cat and dog owners for years. How and where it began is a mystery and it will probably remain that way. It’s been researched and it’s been debated that there is a difference in personality between dog and cat owners. There is some truth in these facts that dog lovers tend to be more outgoing, adventurous and energetic whereas cat lovers are more introverted, sensitive and less adventurous. Here are the differences of owning a dog versus a cat(s). You probably know all these if you have dogs and cats before. For more details visit the site at the bottom of this page.

Owning a Dog

Dogs are extremely loyal: Dogs are usually 100% committed to you and will go to lengths to protect you.

Dogs are energetic and playful: Most dog breeds love to play and run around, so you’ll have to be quite an energetic person.

Dogs love to exercise: Dogs are great exercise buddies at least twice a day.

Dogs are family friendly: If you have a family, they’ll make great family members and they are lovable.

Dogs need training: Unlike cats, dogs need more training to avoid behavioural problems in the future.

Dogs don’t clean up after themselves: Dog’s don’t clean up after themselves like cats do.

Dogs are expensive: Dogs need dog food, yearly check-ups, grooming and dog kennels when you go away.

Dogs eat more than cats: Most likely, you’ll spend more on pet food if you own a dog.

Owning a Cat

Cats are very clean: Cats clean up after themselves and they don’t need regular baths.

Cats don’t need regular exercise: If you are a home body, then a cat is the perfect pet for you.

Cats are great company: Cats (usually) love to cuddle and snuggle on your lap. They’ll reward you with a purr.

Cats are more independent: Cats don’t need looking after every minute of the day.

Cats can be distant: Most cats leave when they feel they’ve had enough attention.

Cats love to claw furniture: If not taught not to, your cat will claw your curtains, couches, chairs or any other furniture.

Cats can’t be confined: Cats are not happy being kept ‘indoors’, so they’ll probably disappear for hours.

Cats are night owls: Cats love the night and they might keep you up during the night.
