I am doing an essay on Cat PEOPLE vs Dog PEOPLE, the empasis on the owners. Any thoughts? The essay is going to be comical and light.
Thanks

Remember I am wondering about the owners NOT dogs vs cats (everyone knows who would win!!)

Dog people are perpetual parents. Dogs are like kids. Cat people are looking for peers not babies.

well you never said how old the puppy was, but you should stop him chasing the cat, and the cat will accept him if he will not worry her... you should not leave them alone together at the moment, but always supervise, as soon as the dog turns it's attention to the cat thinking about chasing her, try diverting it's attention, play a game with him... you need to teach him not to chase because it will never end otherwise, it will just get worse... dogs enjoy chasing for him it us obviously a game but the cat doesnt like it and is worried so when you can not supervise keep them apart. As the dog grows and calms down and the cat starts to relax more and stop running, they will get user to each other, and even if they don't become best friends they will respect each other. Edit: "I do tell the dog, "Stop it!" and sometimes I will spray him with water if he gets too out of hand." Well how do you expect the dog being a fan of the cat when only bad things happen to him around her, if it is not her hissing at him then you spraying him with a bottle... he associates the cat with negative feelings... There is not much use to tell the dog to "stop it" when the dog doesn't know the meaning, it is like if I gave you a command in another language that you never heard, and then when you don't obey I spray you with a bottle......... what would you make out of that? When you can not pay full attention to them, keep them separate, and when you are present, try to make sure that both have a positive experience, play with the pup, reward him for good behavior and try to ignore the bad....... instead divert his attention and when he is "good" reward... also, give plenty of exercise to the pup to tire him out then he will me less likely in the need of chasing the cat... Teach your dog the "leave" command, "moof" above has provided some good links about how to do it...

The dog is like a little kid. They like the human affection and the pack style of living with a family, they would not like to live by themselves, preferring to have people dogs or other animals around. Dog people like giving the attention and affection to the dog and don't mind that a dog requires extra "work" compared to a cat.
The cat can live without a human and is much more indepenent. Cat people want a pet that doesn't require too much care or attention.

I have 4 dogs and 4 cats - pretty even. I must say...I was totally a dog person until I owned a cat. Now I just love both species. I don't know which class I would consider myself. Dog-person? Cat-person? I have no idea! I must say one thing - cats are definitely easier to maintain. With that being said - I still don't know where I belong!!!
Good luck with the essay:)

I must say that I am and always will be a dog person. Dogs will love you unconditionally forever, play with you until you don't want to play any more, cheer you up when you're feeling down, and always be there for you to put a smile on your face. What more could you ask for?

11. Dogs come when you call them. Cats take a message and get back to you.
10. Dogs look much better at the end of a leash.
9. Dogs will let you give them a bath without taking out a contract on your life.
8. Dogs will bark to wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.
7. Dogs will bring you your slippers or the evening newspaper. Cats might bring you a dead mouse.
6. Dogs will play Frisbee with you all afternoon. Cats will take a three-hour nap.
5. Dogs will sit on the car seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private box or they will not go at all.
4. Dogs will greet you and lick your face when you come home from work. Cats will be mad that you went to work at all.
3. Dogs will sit, lie down, and heel on command. Cats will smirk and walk away.
2. Dogs will tilt their heads and listen whenever you talk. Cats will yawn and close their eyes.
1. Dogs will give you unconditional love forever. Cats will make you pay for every mistake you've ever made since the day you were born.

Dogs will take your shoes, cats will puke in them.
Dogs counter surf, cats walk on them AFTER they used the litter box.
What do you want to know about the owners?
Post a copy of the essay when youre done with it.

Dogs are great and cats maybe cute in pictures and at other peoples houses but dogs don't leave hair every where and you don't have to train the dog as hard as you would the cat.
