Which do u prefer Cats or Dogs or Other ?

aidie

I grew up with dogs  from Cairn Terriers, hunting dogs, various mixes, and shih tzu s

my family, when i grew up always had a dog around to play with, and my cousins taught me how to use hunting dogs.

Nothing beats having a dog to hug when things went wrong.

They can also be a focus point/discussion point for low communicators

They also add some direct and close experience of another animal,  its biology, behaviours, and physiology.

My dogs where are always glad to see me especially if u go out to the shops and back u got a big welcome

My current dog, a male "blue" shih tsu, "Bacon", would dance around the house when i come home from somewhere.

But I have never really liked cats.

so which do you prefer.

which do you have

Having said all that their is a young couple who walk their ferrets on leads so if there are new companions out there mention them

    One of the best things you can do for your dog is to get pet insurance

    It is possibly due to not having been trained, like a wild cat would have been, by their mother in how to deliver an efficient killing bite. Or due to them being well fed and not needing to kill to eat. Or it could be to render the prey unable to injure the cat before the cat's vulnerable face is brought close to the prey.

    The distance between any type of cat's canines matches the distance between the neck vertebrae of its major prey animals. Cats will kill smaller prey items by a puncturing bite to the dorsal part of the neck, severing the spinal cord. Big cats kill larger prey items by a longer duration suffocating bite to the windpipe

    On the other side, cats usually tend to kill before eating a prey animals. Canids, including dogs,  are often pack animals that are incapable of 'clean kills', they often will begin eating parts of an incapacitated prey animal while it is still alive. They kill larger prey animals by attrition, exhausting them in a protracted chase, inflicting many minor wounds, often to the belly and hindquarters, and causing incapacity and blood loss.

    could be boredom, could be that it lacks hunting targets so much that it has to catch, injure and release in order to hunt the same target over and over again as its the only thing it will get so needs to make most of it maybe? they are hunters and we dont provide them any form of hunting existance.
