					<description><![CDATA[I vote for cats! Cats don&#039;t maul people to death. 
Yes, cats catch birds, but not when they&#039;re wearing a CatBib. (www.catgoods.com)

More birds die from crashing into windows, anyway. If people would just cover their windows with Collidescape and put CatBibs on their cats we could save all the birds there are (well we&#039;d have to stop habitat destruction too!!).

					<description><![CDATA[But what about the question of de-clawing the cats?

Also, the &quot;door&quot; the cats are &quot;in&quot; (as in indoors) usually have windows too. He who lives with cats in doors should not cast stones unless your windows are bird-strike proofed.  

Of course, a cat sitting in a window .... that could work. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;to the person who says &quot;keep &#039;em indoors&quot;, it&#039;s better for the cat if you don&#039;t&lt;/i&gt;

If you want your cat to live a long and healthy life, it&#039;s better to keep them indoors.  Of course, one might argue that being confined reduces a cat&#039;s quality of life, but cats that have never gone outside seem happy enough.

As for the birds, I have read studies that state predation by domestic cats does have a significant impact on bird populations, just adding to the stresses from other environmental impacts (no I don&#039;t have a reference handy - if I get around to blogging about it, I will dig one up).

Furred cats nicer than all dogs, except the cutest of puppies (especially when they are asleep ... the puppies that is).

					<description><![CDATA[Sorry dude, cats are preferable all the way.  Even the hairless ones.  

Dogs are like the american public, following the pack.  

Cats have independence of though, unlike your average human.

Don&#039;t care if they have hair or not, they still beat out canis.
