Short Essay on Cat vs. Dog for students. We all love to have a pet. Some people go for a bird, snake, or rodent as pet. Most people, however, decide on the more common four-legged creatures like a dog or cat.
Dogs and cats are very different animals and they have different attitudes, needs, and habits. Understanding these differences can help in the process of choosing between them. For unwavering love and loyalty, not to mention protection, a dog is the choice.
Dogs will not question authority, and they will, after some training, do exactly what they are told to do. There are many species of dogs, and they come in large, medium, and small sizes. Smaller sizes like poodles and bichons for people who just need an extra friend and bigger dogs like rottweilers and Mastiffs for those who are in need of further protection. Dogs require a lot of attention, and they will make sure their owners are aware of it. They need to be watched constantly and must be taken regularly for walks, because, as most owners know, a dog cannot be trained to do his business in a litter box.
A dog will, however, respond instantly to his owner’s every wish and will lie at die owner’s feet anytime, anywhere. A dog is very much like a child, in that it cannot be left alone in the house for too long. It will get bored easily and can make your house look as if a tornado were just there. On the other hand, for ease of care, or peace and quiet, cats can be a better choice. Cats will not question authority; they won’t even listen to it. There are many species of cats, but then- size will generally be the same for all breeds.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
They will only sleep on the bed if they want to, and will sleep at whichever end they choose. Cats are quite independent, and they do not require much attention over and above regular feeding and regular cleaning of the litter box. It is a comfort to the owner to know that the cat is simply there, and although a cat rarely responds to an owner’s call, it will show affection by nuzzling or rubbing with its entire body. Perhaps, to compensate for their reticent nature, cats grow up quickly and are able to amuse themselves all day while their owners are away.
Cats and dogs make wonderful pets. They are soothing to the soul, and they teach responsibility. The decision regarding which one to choose depends on you. The petowner must decide how much effort he or she wants to putforth. If a loyal, loving pet and trustworthy companion is desired, the dog is a good choice. If, conversely, quiet low maintenance is more important, a cat is a better choice.
