But a dog will never miss the opportunity to run you through the vibrant green landscape. The family feud of which animal is the better pet is a heated discussion, but compared to cats, dogs are the preferable furry friends.

As long as there's enough food and water in a cat’s bowl, you may not even see it sneaking around your house for a couple of days. Why would you want a pet that you never see? Cats are very independent animals. Felines will not have loyalty to its owner.
