Neuroscientist Dr Paul Zak, who examined the results, said: ‘From this sample it’s true to say that these dogs love their owners five times more than the cats do.’
My cat brought every single thing it caught for 16 years home to the door before eating it. If that is not love what is - your dog taking a dump on the nice lawn.

The cat is better than the dog. He comes when called always. He's the first one to greet me when I get home. He licks my hand when I bend down to pet him. He stands in the corner of the shower every single time I shower. He's really the best animal I've ever seen. He loves people and we let him out in the hallways and he comes back when we call him. Maybe growing up around 2 labs helped but he might be the greatest cat to walk the planet.
To sum it up. Dogs are better becaus this cat acts like a dog. That says it all.
as does my dog. Either way you're cleaning up shit. Whether it's in your backyard or in a box. (at least I hope you are) I don't know, I don't see why it has to be one or the other.
It hates me with the burning fire of one thousand suns. He will tolerate me if I am bringing him food. Other than that, he has his space, I have mine, and we don't make eye contact.
on life style as well I often have to leave town for a day or two for business and I don't have to worry about the cat he will take care of himself but a Dog would need to be watched costing more money and issues than I want.
Dogs and cats might produce the hormone differently etc. They also used a whopping sample size of 10. Maybe those 10 cat owners were total a-holes and the cats had a legit reason not to love them!

The only thing worse than a cat that hates you is one that will not leave you alone.
Many, many, many people have indoor/outdoor cats Â
correlate the amount of Oxytocin that one species produces with:
1) the amount of actual emotional bonding that members of that species feel, and
2) to then compare the amount or rate of increase of oxytocin produced with members of a completely different species.
Emotions and attachment are complex phenomena -- HELLO?!?!
The amount of a given neurochemical that one species needs to experience emotional attachment or a feeling of attachment may be LESS or MORE than that of another species.
Correlation is not causation. This neurochemist is a fucking moron.
Also, SAMPLE SIZE?!?! And what breeds of cats did he include in his sample? For all we know, Ragdolls are gushers of oxytocin. Anyone who meets my brother, Larry's cat, Yoyo, would have to agree.
Cats speak their own inscrutible language. No one has figured it out yet. Vets haven't even figured out that they can't metabolize corn.
In conclusion, fuck this guy.
RE: From a purely scientific standpoint, it's bloody stupid to Â
when you yell at a dog, his tail will go between his legs and cover his genitals, his ears will go down. A dog is very easy to break, but cats make you work for their affection. They don't sell out the way dogs do.
I thought the same thing, but the article shows how it is scientific.
They explain it in the article
How long after the owner dies does the pet start eating him/her.
LOL along those lines this was the funniest line in the entire article.
No having him take a dump in your nice lawn
And a Direwolf sized dog would hump its owner to death.
And on whom are you blaming the jars of urine? The mailman?
These are the facts.
True Dat.

I have one who thinks that because the deck is snow covered that means he does not need to go to the backyard

Let that sentence process for a few moments.

This really isn't worth getting that upset about.
You never talk about God, Money, Politics, or Cats vs. Dogs in public (or on a public forum).
