Why cats are better than dogs
*Warning: This article may offend some dog lovers*
You may be wondering how on earth a cat is better than a dog. Well they are! So here are some reasons why a cat is better than a dog. Did you know that there are many health benefits for owning a cat? Owning a cat may even reduce your chance of a heart attack and strokes by nearly one third. Cat owners showed a 30 per cent lower risk of death from heart attacks compared to non-cat owners. They do this by relieving stress with their therapeutic love and affection, unlike dogs.
You may say to yourself that I don’t like cats because they scratch. Well dogs do too, and they bite which can cause more destruction to you and your family. And that’s just larger dogs. Smaller dogs can also cause destruction to your belongings and are more likely to rip your pants. Cats also can cause destruction, but most likely when they are a kitten, but the damage they cause is usually less expensive to repair. Cats would only hurt you if you annoy them repeatedly.
Cats take less time, effort and attention than dogs, and cats are a lot cheaper. Dogs can also be an annoyance to your neighbours by barking, which can lead you into legal troubles. Time, effort and attention for your dog can lead to more stress on you which may even affect your career. Owning a dog also may affect your holidaying time because you need supervision over your dog, and with cats you just leave them at home and tell someone to feed then once or twice every day. As well as stress and affecting your holiday time, dogs are way more expensive and live shorter lives than cats. Not to say all cats are cheaper than dogs, but certainly including dog care and needs such as dog washes and toys, will waste your money, but with cats they’re essentially a built in cleaner. No money is wasted there.
Surveying just under 2000 people, 59% of which were pet owners, 74% sadly preferred dogs over cats. But 41% happily preferred cats. Only 2% of the 2000 people disliked dogs a lot and 15% disliked cats.

In conclusion, the people of 6A favour dogs more than cats. I have no idea why they chose vicious dogs over cats because dogs don’t even make good internet memes. Cats should be the overall favourite of most people.

Mr Richardson's Comment: Angela and Giaan, Terrific work with your article supporting cats. You've made some very good points, and I love how you've provided statistics, not only in the community but from 6A. Well done!
