“A pet is a household animal kept for companionship and a person's enjoyment.” Cats and dogs are the two most popular pets. They both are similar and different in many ways. They have different needs and attitudes but at the same time, both of them need love and care from their owners.

CATS AND DOGS

Differences

Loyal, dependent, devoted to owners

Respond to their owner’s every wish

Come when they are called

Independent Ignore their

owner’s wishes and prefers to be alone

Does not come when they are called

Dogs CatsLOYALTY

Needs to be trained Needs to be taken for

regular walks and needs to be cleaned by their owners

Needs someone to play with, dogs do not like to be alone

Needs a lot of attention

DogsCARE

Do not need to be trained to use litter box, they clean themselves naturally

They can entertain themselves and do not need someone to play with them

Much easier to take care of and needs little attention

Cats CARE

Dogs will put their life on the line to protect their owners. If

someone tries to break into your house, dogs will alert you and your neighbors by barking or even attacking the stranger.

Cats might meow at night but they are not as loud as dogs. They wont disturb you or your neighbors at night or during the day. However, most of the time, they wont alert you if someone tries to break into your house

PROTECTION

Will show their owner a lot of unconditional love and affection

Will run up to their owners when they’ve returned home to greet them

Appreciates being hugged and petted by their owners

Social animals

Dogs

AFFECTION

More distant than dogs Ignore their owners when

they’ve returned home Might scratch their owners

when they are being hugged or petted

Prefers to be alone They show affection to their

owners by nuzzling them every now and then.

Cats

AFFECTION

SIMILARITIES

Both cats and dogs require companionship from their owners

Need to get regular shots from the vet to keep them healthy

Can get bored so you’ll need to buy them a toy

have relatives in the wild so they are both good hunters

Dogs can hunt moles in your garden

Cats can catch rats in your house.

Both cats and dogs do get fleas and ticks so they need some attention from their owners.

Both cats and dogs are carnivores so they eat meat

Both cats and dogs are domestic animals so when their kittens

and puppies are born, they need a lot of care from humans.

When you’re depressed, they’ll always be by your side. Dogs might not be able to talkto you and help you solve your problems like another human can, but they can lie on your lap or sit next to you for hours until you feel better. Cats are m not much different. When m you’re depressed, cats will be m there for you just like how a m dog would no matter how m cold or distant they may seem.

The EndThank You
