The cat that walked by himself
Pussy can sit by the fire and sing,
Pussy can climb a tree,
Or play with a silly old cork and string
To 'muse herself, not me.
But I like Binkie my dog, because
He knows how to behave;
So, Binkie's the same as the First Friend was,
And I am the Man in the Cave!
Pussy will play man-Friday till
It's time to wet her paw
And make her walk on the window-sill
(For the footprint Crusoe saw);
Then she fluffles her tail and mews,
And scratches and won't attend.
But Binkie will play whatever I choose,
And he is my true First Friend!
Pussy will rub my knees with her head
Pretending she loves me hard;
But the very minute I go to my bed
Pussy runs out in the yard,
And there she stays till the morning-light;
So I know it is only pretend;
But Binkie, he snores at my feet all night,
And he is my Firstest Friend!
Rudyard Kipling

I like dogs, but I prefer cats. Some people (don't all over there) prefer dogs because think dogs are slave or adorer.
That's true dogs are very sensitive and always those are our first friends.cat loves to play with us and mews when they are hungry.But always dogs try to tolerate things.love dogs a lot as same as my little pussy cat Blakie
I also think that dogs are always better than cats. Dog is the best pet in the world
In my opinion pets are good for our lives but they require a special area for keeping them in the house as well as special handling.
Hello!
I love both - cats and dogs - because they have a different characters. Dogs are more obedient and their claws are less sharp then cats (playing with them is safer ;)); and the cats are the most independent from all pets and thanks to they would have a big chance live in the wild.
My first animal best friend was a dog Reks, but when I had left my home to study in another city he died. It was very hard for me - I think he died because he missed me. It was almost 10 years ago and I still remember my old and loyal dog.
Now I have two new pets - cats. One of them (Magrat) is attached to me very hard - she have to, every day, come to me knee and hug hard; the most interesting is that she accept only me; if I'm at home with friend and somebody is trying to hug her she always runs away! Me second cat (Mejoza) is different; Mejoza like every people and she is very delicate while play with her (she never pulls out the claws).
I hope, someday if I had a house I would have a dog too :).
It was me first post :)
I have learned English since January 2012 and I have hope you understood me :D
Poem is Ok.
I think Dogs are better pets than Cats.
Peoples likes cats and dogs mostly, it's depends on them.
my opinion, peoples prefer cats because its climbs, performs some silly things by rubbing head with peoples legs, on the other hand peoples like dogs also they will play, listen you and behaves as responsible.
My family used to raise a cat and a dog, but now we only have a dog.He is 6 years old now and really is a true friend of mine. Although I leave house for a long time to study, when I comeback he still recognise me.I love him so much.
Hi to everybody.
The tastes are different. So, I think both of them are grate friends. While all my life I've had dogs and cats. I think that dog is for happiness and cat is for the soul!!!
Ha ha ha ha! It’s the first impression what I have. Most people like dogs more than the cats. Because? Dogs are obedient to the human will and cats are disobedient. I am this kind of man who like dogs and cats. In my house lives two dogs and one cat. It was, in the past, that we have three cats and two dogs Which animals are better? It depends on you like. In my family we say that dogs belong to my husband and cats to me. My husband is more obedient than me. I like go to my own ways, like a cat. My husband is more with the sense of duty than me. Dogs need walking and go out with an owner, but cat comes out itself.
The most important problem in this poem isn’t what is better: dog or cat, but what is friendship for us? Is a truth friendship, when my friend do, say and think like I want? Or not? Of course – not! For me friend is the man, who always have courage to say us truth,. What he or she think about a problem, what is he or she opinion about this situation.
Right now, I've got a beautiful 4 year old dog, he's a golden retriever, and I've only had 3 or 4 cats in my life. I think dogs are better friends than cats, they do not scratch you or attack you even if you get on their nerves.
