I've had dogs, cats, horses, geese, lizards, salamanders, frogs, toads, centipedes, snakes, fish, and snails, and family have had possums and chinchillas and tarantulas and various tree birds.
Cats still win.

Incenjucar, you're a nutter. I'm willing to accept that cats can communicate effectively to those who know them well, and obviously the hooks and barbs don't matter, but you cannot objectively state that cats are smarter than dogs, whether you're comparing either the best of both species or an average. It's ludicrous to suggest otherwise, like claiming that fish are smarter than crows. The one animal has a demonstrable level of intelligence that is higher than that of the other.
When I say cats can barely be trained to shit in a litter box, I don't mean it literally - what I mean is that they can't be trained in the same way a dog can.
The affectionate cats you describe are about as visibly affectionate as a typical dog. Similarly, the most playful of cats will chase things for hours on end - as will a dog. Basically, all the virtues of cats that you describe in my post sound to me like those of a dog, except that cats rarely possess all of these attributes whereas dogs quite commonly hold all of them.
I think the best pet ever, if they could be domesticated, would be a big fucking cat. Except for the fact that they are natural primate predators, and all that. But man, having a lynx or a panther as a pet, if you have a nice country place? That would be awesome.
I would still prefer a dog. You've basically taken a wolf, which is similar to a big cat but smaller and smarter, and subjected it to tens of thousands of years of breeding and partnership with humans.
I don't think I'd want to risk playing with a big cat. They are fucking strong.
There are people who have "domesticated" wolves, and they never feel in any danger from the wolf, with good reason - but wolves are incredibly strong, and if they see a rabbit they can break your arm when they launch off after it.
So it's possible to have a dangerous predator as a pet, as long as you know how to deal with it.
Big cats probably don't even work as well as wolves, though, so I will never have a panther named Marlow.
Some street cat followed my former roommate into our apartment one time and we ended up keeping for some reason. God I fucking hated that cat. We already had a cat, who hated other cats, so we had to keep the stray in the bathroom almost at all times. That bathroom smelled goddamn horrible after a while. The cat was scrawny and not cute and for some reason no one thought to bathe it once it smelled like a million assholes and we were all too busy to take it to a vet or anything to get it checked out. God why the hell did we keep it?
Anyone want to recommend some really heavy gangsta hip-hop? I mean, Illmatic is great and everything but right now I'm in the mood for something really pulsating bass-heavy, aggressive, and hard.

Well, think of how a cat bats at things with its paws while it plays. Now imagine a panther doing that to you, with the strength of five men.
The dog I had used to eat whole cannon bones.
as in, the bone and everything. he'd just chew it up into splinters and swallow them. I wonder what that wolf could do to your leg.

I saw some discussion in the NBA thread, but the title is a little misleading...

Fix'd.
It's okay, though, I can see how you'd be confused, given your lack of experience on the subject.
Edit: Too much?
Dude.
Even the horses agree with me.
They'll steal sticks from the dogs just to torment them, then go and let a cat sleep on their bag all cuddly like.
And the dogs? The dogs will make way for the cats, either letting them take over their dog beds, or use them much like the horses are used.
Everyone is bitches to cats.
Oh wait.

Also, your favorite band sucks, as does your favorite artist and movie.
It's not that I don't enjoy cats. I like cats, a lot. It's just that dogs are a higher life form.
True that.

Heh, at least he has a sense of humor about himself, if nothing else.
