dogs are awful, they drool, they try and eat food off your plate while you are eating, they smell, they jump in lochs and swim and get covered in algi, they roll in mud, they bark and make lots of noise, the jump up and try to knock you over, they can't look after themselves, they poo anywhere and don't bury it, the list goes on....
cats on the other hand are clean, they don't drool, they don't stick their heds in your plate, they don't smell, they don't need your attention 24-7, they sleep most of they day, they go out and can look after themselves, they don't need to be kept on a leash, they can be toilet trained (litter tray), they bury their poo when outside so you can't stand on it, they don't like water so don't go swimming in mucky water, they are inteligent and the list goes on..
if you want to look at the egyptian aaspect, dogs play no role in egyptian mythology, they are not mentioned anywhere, anubus was a jackal not a dog, cats however were held in high status and treated with respect and worshiped.
cats win
