I find it funny that dog bashing inevitably turns into arguments about cats versus dogs. Both are gross in their own way, and both can be satisfying pets if you are into that kind of thing. I am going to play along though.
I prefer cats as I find their mannerisms and personalities more pleasing. I find that many of the reasons people like dogs is the same reason why I don't like them as much. The unwavering loyalty, admiration, groveling, and neediness is just too much for me. Not that cats don't need engagement and interaction, but it is typically a much more laid back relationship.
I do like dogs in small doses, but different strokes for different folks. Honestly, I am not really a pet person in general, but I have had dogs at certain points in life, and I find they give me stress I just don't need and would prefer they are kept away from public events and businesses. People typically don't bring cats around with them, so their annoying traits aren't forced upon others.
