Dogs are way better pets than cats. There's a reason that most movies with dogs and cats have the dog as the hero and the cat as the villain. Here's some evidence if you're not convinced.
To be fair, most of those are biased and not supported by facts. I believe that puppies are cuter than kittens, but I would include that in my argument, because it's subjective.
yours is just as subjective.
Here's the definition of subjective, as put by google: Based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. How are the facts I presented biased? Yes, the article is biased. I don't deny that. But the facts aren't. I'll go through each claim: 1. There is proof based on evolution that dogs are easier to train. It's based on evidence, not personal opinion. 2. Many dogs are trained to bark at strangers, while cats aren't. 3. Dogs develop more personal bonds with their owners, beyond that of just someone who feeds them. 4. Again, scientific data. 5. See above. 6. See above. 7. Please don't argue with this one. Just don't. 8. More facts. Hard to argue with them, isn't it? 9. This one's a bit iffy, but still supported by research. 10. Just... don't go there.

2. Cat bites are not half as dangerous as dog bites
Dog bites have dramatically risen in number and severity in the past four decades. The average number of people dying from dog bites every year is 35. Even mild dog bites cause pain, injury and a huge risk of infection.
3. Dogs are more loving than cats.(Fake)
People who like dogs usually argue that dogs love humans more and cats do not. This is based on the studies that have shown that dogs release the "love hormone" oxytocin upon interaction with their owners. This response was seen on petting the dog, having eye contact and almost anything. Contrary to this, there also studies that do not show any such increase.
Not only do mother cats nurse their kittens, but they also teach them to use the litter box, how to sharpen claws and whatnot. For dogs, this responsibility is upon the owners to teach puppies things.
5. Cats have more better senses
We all know dogs have an amazing sense of smell but…sorry, dogs–cats are better! The pet food makers at Canidae have, of course, special insight into what smells, and of course tastes, good to dogs and cats. They note that “cats have an even better sense of smell and can identify differences between a larger variety of scents.” How is this even possible, you ask? Turns out mammals possess three kinds of scent receptors. One of these, called the V1R protein, makes for the ability to make distinctions between different scents. Us humans have two forms of this protein, dogs have nine, cats, of course, have 30. While some dogs, such as Bloodhounds, Basset Hounds, and German Shepherd Dogs, have more scent receptors than cats, these specific breeds may smell “better” than cats but they can’t smell as much.
Winner: Cats
Cats and dogs both hear better than humans but as the folks at Locust Valley Veterinary Clinic in Locust Valley, New York, point out, “cats can hear almost one octave higher than dogs.” They also note while dogs, depending on breed, have around 18 muscles controlling ear movement (which funnels sound) cats have nearly twice as many ear muscles. This allows cats to move each ear independently–making for superior hearing, if not listening, skills.

No, I was responding to Speedy's article with an article from the same website. It's also not great practice to link articles you have to pay to read.

First, you can't rate things that don't matter to pets. My dog has brown paws. But I wouldn't include that in an argument, because it's irrelevant to the debate. Second, you can't just choose to ignore facts you dislike. Sadly, that's happening more and more, both in politics and everyday life.

A study by researchers from the University of Minnesota showed that cat owners were nearly 40% less likely to die from a heart attack than those people who have never owned a cat.
Yes, but were not going to give up until the others do.
That's exactly the sort of mentality you shouldn't have. It's not you vs. everyone else. This isn't a war, it's a debate. And it's okay to lose in a debate.

Well, I mean, Now I feel bad because now it's like dogs and cats don't return people's love for them and only care about food.
This isn't true. My dogs enjoys being around people. When I'm sad, my dog comes over and licks my tears away. I swear, I'm not making this up.

Alright, with some exceptions. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't try to tell someone that if they like cats or dogs, they're wrong to do so, or try to show them why with facts. :p

Not when Cats are at stake! Cats are literally the only thing that has gotten me through the pandemic! They have VERY significant meaning to me.

1. Cats are better ecological pets
A study reveals that the area of land required to feed a medium-sized dog is 0.84 hectares annually compared to a cat which is 0.15 hectares.
Another study reveals some shocking facts as it concludes that, domestic dogs threaten at least 188 threatened species worldwide.
2. Cat bites are not half as dangerous as dog bites
Dog bites have dramatically risen in number and severity in the past four decades. The average number of people dying from dog bites every year is 35. Even mild dog bites cause pain, injury and a huge risk of infection.

This response was seen on petting the dog, having eye contact and almost anything. Contrary to this, there also studies that do not show any such increase.
Moreover, some authors have also criticized the over-simplified view of oxytocin's role in social relationships in general and in the dog-human relationship in particular.
A group of researchers investigated cats' preference for food, toys and social interaction with people, most cats sought interaction with humans over everything else, even food!
4. They are really good mothers
Not only do mother cats nurse their kittens, but they also teach them to use the litter box, how to sharpen claws and whatnot. For dogs, this responsibility is upon the owners to teach puppies things.
