I love cats, and I like dogs too. They are both great examples of life forms. While cats are designed specifically for hunting, and thus are superior when it comes to that, dogs have some hunt design as well as design for other sorts of survival traits as they are more generalists. So it's either the specialist that is the cat, or the generalist that is the dog. Can't really go wrong.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
