Why dogs are more loyal than cats

by Raymond L. Marr

Created on: January 16, 2008

Dogs more loyal then cats, most certainly is a fact, due to perhaps breeding or being domesticated for so many years the past forgotten. It is certainly hard to say, though my objective today is to make it just a bit more clear to those who take the time to learn something new as each day passes.

Dogs and there loyalty, come from so many years of taking care of varied people in various situations, and through many years of training for the service industry. Besides the fact that the primary objective with a dog is to please there master. So the loyalty comes from the constant want to please. For so many years dating back to the dark ages, dogs have always played a pivotal part in the hunt, the organization, the guardianship of there masters. There are many examples throughout history why dogs have always been a constant. There loyalty is born from many generations past and through each doing all they can to insure there masters are safe and happy.

While cats on the other hand, they can be sweet, or they can be a nuisance, the challenge sometimes with a cat, is there fierce independent nature. Cats have long existed, near as long as dogs, there history as diverse but rarely as a best friend. With cats the story goes you can date back to egyptian times, where they also played a remarkable role of hunters, in the grain stocks of the nile and for so many years after. Besides the fact, at one point they were as much worshiped as adored. They have there history, but it is one in which there fierce independence and prowess as hunters served them very well. With a cat, it makes sense, to allow for the independance to a certain point. Regardless, cats will always be independant while with time dogs become more dependant on there trainers or there masters.

So why is a dog more loyal then a cat, simply put, dogs have remained at the sides of men for so many years, always proving there worth even when at one point they were reveled and thought of as evil, they have come out all the better for it.

Thanks for Reading, I hope this article provides some insight in the facts of the matter.
