Ten Interesting Differences Between Cats and Dogs
Dogs can be trained quickly, some in a matter of minutes, to obey basic commands like ‘come' and ‘sit.'
Most cats are difficult if not impossible to train to respond to directives.
Cats can be housetrained in an instant as long as they have access to a litter box. There's really no training to it, in fact. It's instinct.
Most dogs take considerably longer to housebreak, and some just never get all the way there. Unlike with Fluffy, housebreaking a pup is usually a hands-on, time intensive project.
Dogs are social beings. They want to be with their pack, wherever their pack may be.
Cats are solitary by comparison and their primary attachment (when forced to choose) is to their territory rather than other two or four-legged animals.
