Of course, they got he way to talk about brains wrong, but it's an ok read.

Oh, and about catching rodents? I've had two dogs so far who were better 'mousers' than my inlaw's cats. Ghost actually outran and caught a squirrel. :)

Post Re: Dogs v. Cats
I tend to like both and have always enjoyed having a cat and dog at the same time. They can be wonderful friends when raised together. I have had mousers and some cats don't touch them. Most of the dogs I have had will go after them if they are in the house. I wondered if the dog brains being bigger are a memory thing? They hold all those smell memories in there. That's why they never forget people. Dog win out with me for protection reasons more than anything else and they are easier to wrestle and play with. Cute article, it's funny this is the cause of debates.
