Dog versus Cat

Cat Opines, Doggy Whines.

Cat speaks...

Dogs are nasty, that's a fact,
it's quite unruly how they act.
Not like us cats, we are sedate,
we make the best pets, no debate.


Dog speaks...

Cats are the worst, don't you agree?
Aloof and snobby, they can be.
Now dogs like us, we're really fun,
we love to play, we jump and run.


Cat speaks...

Dogs bark loudly, what a sound!
They can be heard for blocks around.
Disturb the peace? Oh yes, it's true,
I can't believe the things they do.


Dog speaks...

We like to bark, that's how we speak,
when cats meow, it's awfully weak.
We get our point across, real well,
with cats, well, you can never tell.


Cat speaks...

Cats are quiet, we make no sound,
you'd hardly notice we're around.
Except for purring, that is true.
Disturb the peace? We never do.


Dog speaks...

Cats are far too neat and clean,
endlessly grooming, then they preen.
Around the house, they like to lay,
no fun at all, they never play.


Cat speaks...

Dogs track in dirt and mud each day
when they go out, and by the way,
they want to go out constantly,
it's quite a pain if you ask me.


Dog speaks...

Their litter box will always smell,
I know that our poo smells as well.
At least we go outside to poo,
cats stink the house up, through and through.


Cat speaks...

When nature calls, it's out they go,
dogs whine and put on quite a show.
We use our litter box, so neat,
we never soil our dainty feet.


Dog speaks...

And what about those sharp, sharp claws?
Quite willing they are to use their paws
to scratch the sofa and the chair,
with stuffing flying everywhere.


Cat speaks...

Now that you know we are the best
in every way, there's no contest.
Are clean, calm kitties, your delight?
Or dirty, rowdy dogs, that bite?


Dog speaks...

Now that you know how cats can be,
you'll want a doggy, just like me.
I'm cute, I fetch, roll over too.
Cats suck, a dog's the one for you.
