2. Cats are less likely to run away. Cats are incredibly loyal (more so than dogs) and will stay by their owners, unlike dogs, who immediately like anyone who pets them. Even if a cat gets lost, there have been instances of families moving and their cats traveling hundreds (over 800!) miles to find their owners.

 

 

I'm calling bullcrap on that one.

This one time, my brother's next door neighbors moved away, to a new house about 3 miles away. About a week later, my brother looks out on the deck, and sees their cat staring at him through the patio door. So, he calls them, "Hey come get your cat!" So, they pick it up. About a week later, the cat is back again.

It just kept running away.

Oh, the cat has loyalty. But it's not to you.

Cats are also very attached to their former "habitats", so chances are he was finding it hard to adapt to their surroundings.

Or possibly your brother just has a thing with cats.

Dogs know you are leaving for the day and miss you before you leave. Cats if they notice, don't care.

Cats miss you, and they care.

Cat breaks off claw in dog's forehead and runs off and hides under the bed for two days. Dog didn't even notice the claw stuck in her forehead.

Cats fight literal SNAKES

Dogs are trained to find and rescue people buried in avalanches. Literally saving lives.

Dogs are trained to guide the blind. Sometimes saving their lives. (Even step in front of a bus, if need be.)

A cat can protect your grandmother much better than any dog would. Proof? A single cat fought off 3 coyotes simultaneously (look it up). Three coyotes are exponentially more formidable than some random armed guy who can easily be surprise-attacked. Cats have better speed, agility, survivability, reaction time, coordination, unpredictability, claw sharpness, and defensive instincts than dogs and experts favor cats for home defense.

Cats can do the same, in addition to bringing inhalers, alerting others of a gas leak, and saving a man with a heart attack by alerting others, and alerting a woman that her house was on fire while she was sleeping.

While dogs are the most common animals used in avalanche rescue, some organizations are exploring the use of cats, specifically through the Canadian Avalanche Rescue Cat Association (CARCA). CARCA teams have demonstrated that cats can be effective in avalanche rescue due to their agility, sense of smell, and ability to be deployed quickly. However, this is still a relatively new concept, and dogs remain the primary animal used for avalanche rescue.

    • While some resorts are experimenting with cats, they are not likely to completely replace dogs, but rather serve as an additional tool in avalanche rescue.

Because a dog can.

And on top of it all, dogs are better swimmers than cats.
