Comparing Cats with Dogs

            There are tons of different species of animals. Animals have been around just as long as humans. For example, cats and dogs have been around for many centuries, and in today's world some people prefer one over the other. There are many reasons why cats are better than dogs or why dogs are better than cats, but all cats and dogs have their similarities and differences. Similarities include that both dogs and cats have been domesticated, and they both are four legged animals. Differences can include: cats produce different sounds than dogs, or that a dog enjoys the company of people rather than a cat who likes to be alone. .
             All cats and dogs can be house pets except the undomesticated ones of course. Many people have cats, dogs or both as house pets. To people they can be good company to have around his or hers home. They tend to fill the space in a house as if it were a human depending how much the person treats them as one. They are considered to be part of the family. They are given a name and sometimes even inherit the last name of the household just to make them feel like more at home. We humans take our precious cats and dogs to the veterinarian when they might have something that is concerning, and pay almost the same or even more the amount a human does at the doctor's office. Today, pets seem to be just another human without the ability to speak.
             Aside from having their similarities, cats and dogs make distinctive noises. Dogs bark when they sense someone at the door or growl when they feel threatened. Cats meow or purr when they feel comfortable and hiss when they feel like they are in danger. Dogs tend to make themselves more noticed when they bark as they will run up to someone or something making sure they are heard loud and clear. Cats are more to themselves about these things as they only hiss and let their fur stand up on their backs when someone actually approaches them. .
