Resolved: Atheists Are More Cat People Than Dog People

Having co-habited with many cats over the years, I've found them to be free-thinking and inquisitive, like atheists. Dogs seem to be more accepting, more willing to go along. I think this accounts for the fact that atheists tend to favor cats over dogs. (I'm not saying atheists hate dogs--just that we're better attuned to cats.) Comments?

Cats with nasty behaviours are but a result of owners who refuse to learn cat language. Once you know cat language, you can get a cat to do anything a dog does, and cats have saved lives too... they just don't have the physique to jump out of helis and rescue drowning people...

I always considered myself just a cat person, and then we got a Labradork, lol.  I love her to death, but SO much work.  I love all animals, but we will probably just stick with cats in the future (we have 3 right now).

Dogs are often good mirrors of those they live with.

Guvnah, the dog I'm pictured with, lived at a house I used to share with a recording engineer I used to work with. Beautiful house on a lake in the wilderness of Val des Monts in western Quebec.

Smartest dog I've ever met, and  probably the most well adjusted room-mate I've ever experienced.

Friends who had dogs with behaviour problems used to drop their dogs off for a week or two. Brent (my house-mate) and I would only feed them, let them in the house at night and out in the morning. They spent all the rest of their time with "Guv". After a week or two, they would lose their bad habits and transcend them. 

The best dog-trainers in the world are mostly ...other dogs.
