The Debate 'Dogs VS. Cats' Is A Serious One, So Let's Settle This Thing Once And For All
Emily Henrichs

In This Article:

The great debate about dogs vs. cats is widely known. Most people are strong on one side. Being a dog person, I can never see why anyone would ever like cats more. In my opinion, cats are the spawn of Satan. Despite my feelings, I had to figure out how other people felt I'm still strong on the "dogs are better" side, but I guess I can respect the fans of cats.

Actually, I don't think I can.

I took the liberty of asking some friends how they feel. Here's what they had to say.

*Some people wanted to stay anonymous, so I will respect that.*

"Name one cat that has ever helped a blind person...dogs are the real heroes" - Abbie 

Dogs are heroes with four legs.

"I like cats because they do things on their terms. It's hard to force a cat to do something." - Leah

I respect that.

"Cats can kiss my a**. Dogs are better because they will play with you and they're just so f*ckin cute." - Anonymous

I feel the same way.

"Dogs are more personable, they also like to cuddle/spend time with you." - Noelle

Yes! Thank you!!

"I like cats because all they do is eat & sleep, and I relate to them on a personal level." - Courtney

So maybe you relate to cats, but you can also relate to dogs.

"Dogs are better. It's simple." - Anonymous

You can't deny it, haters.

"I love my cat because it cuddles and catches mice and doesn't annoy me like my dog does." - Amanda

Alright, alright, alright. I get it. Cats love mice and if you live in the country it helps. I'll give you this one.

"Well, you say your dog is your soulmate..." - Anonymous

What else needs to be said here?

"Dogs, because they have hearts. Cats are just black holes of hate." - Lily

I can't disagree with Lily. And that is not because she edits my articles. It's because she's right.

 "Let's be honest here. Cats are great and all, but can you really compare them to the greatness of a dog who loves you no matter what?" - Sam

Dogs jump on you when you come home. Their tail wags like crazy. They LOVE you no matter how long you've been gone.

 "I'm just going to say it. Dogs are better. End of story. Deal with it." - Me

I have always loved dogs and always hated cats. I've only had great experiences with dogs and horrible experiences with cats. And you cannot make me believe your cat is the best cat ever. It is not an angel. It is Satan. I'm not sorry.

We may never be able to settle the whole dogs vs. cats debate. I am a hardcore dog lover, but I will respect the people out there who love cats...maybe.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
