#NerdsUnite: Nerdy Neutrons (Cats vs. Dogs)

That's right you crazy kids the Nerdy Neutrons are back. Been too long and I know you all have been jonesing for a fix. So this time we launch into Cats VS Dogs. See I know Ashley has a puppy that she adores. Well We have Frank the coolest cat sense people started using the phrase cool cat. So I'll start on why I am so much more a cat person than a Dog person. Starting with Dogs bark! I know it's a sign of warning and they are trying to protect their owners... Blah Blah Blah! Cat's don't bark and meowing is cute. I feel like I end up telling a dog to shut up way more often than I ever would a cat. When I come home to Frank it's a nuzzle and with his super soft long fur it's the most amazing feeling in the world. You just surrender to his desire to be petted. When I come home to my Roommates Girlfriends DOG! BARK! BARK! BARK! Before I ever even enter the house. No matter how long we have known each other. That dog will bark at anyone even its owners before they see it. It’s a mind numbing awful loud noise. Ashleigh your dog’s defense.
@ashleighmayes
My dog's defense? Easy one, Jordan! Otis is amazing. Simply put. Otis might bark, but I feel a MILLION times safer living alone with a dog, who can warn me when something's up outside in my ghetto neighborhood! On top of that, dogs are awesome because they wait for you to come home. They think about you all day. You're their one and only. With a cat it's like "Oh hey! There's my can opener. Now do your job!" Not only that, but my kitten is ALWAYS breaking things. She's ALWAYS trying to get to my bird. You may say it's instinct, but in that case, my dog should be trying to hurt cats, right? Nope! Otis is gentle and would NEVER chase a cat!
@saintpepsi
You want protection. Frank is all about protection. He left a dead baby bunny on my doorstep the other day when I was bringing a date home. You can imagine her assumed feeling of safety knowing we had a ferocious killer who guarded our house from cute woodland creatures. Actually, that girl didn't see it that way at all. That date didn't end so well. No girl wants to kiss a guy, that just handled an adorable dead bunny... Pretty sure that happened on Easter Sunday too. Also he killed the stray cat that lives on our block, as there was fur all over the road and frank looked like he had bathed in blood just sleeping all cute like near the fireplace. I just don't think I'd feel as safe with a dog. Not when we have a Ninja Death Machine. He makes a fantastic purring keyboard rest, a lap warmer, kitty paw alarm clock, and most importantly Frank doesn't smell like a wet dog. Just saying. Ok, not my most convincing paragraph.
@ashleighmayes
Well it's funny you mention smells....my dog knows how to go outside. Have you ever got a whiff of a full litterbox?? I have cats and love 'em, but why can't they use the toilet or clean their own box?? Cat litter is expensive for the good stuff and the cheap kind is terrible!! My Otis just needs a good tree or patch of grass!
@saintpepsi
My cat does a decent amount of his business outside. I will agree with you that a cat box and the not so subtle smell of ammonia is nothing good to walk past. Aside from the cuteness of cats. I gotta say I feel like you kicked my ass in this one. I suppose this is why dogs are man's best friend and cats are small assumed gods. I won't be changing my tiger stripes to a spot over one eye and a wagging tale just yet but I concede this battle to you dearest Ashleigh. Your dog seems to fall in the realm of a pretty powerful companion. Still I think you'll have to meet Frank, before making your final assessment. Until then I give this battle to you. All hail Ashleigh the canine capitalizer. Man, I really thought I had this one in the bag and you threw my bag in the river.
@ashleighmayes
I see where you're coming from. To argue against myself, cats are far less needy than dogs. When I leave, my Otis barks and barks and barks. My neighbors have complained before! With my cats, I'm just a can opener! This is a bad thing AND a good thing! They don't care if I leave!! But they greet me just as my dog does when I get home. In this instance, I think we can agree to disagree and call it a tie. There's a reason that man domesticated each, and to each their own. Good battle, my friend. Good battle.
