Are dogs objectively better companions—or are cats just smarter about not needing validation?

Dogs will love you unconditionally, protect your house, and act like you’re a superhero for opening a door.
Cats will tolerate you, ignore your calls, and still somehow convince you that you work for them.

Dog people say loyalty is everything. Cat people say independence is maturity. Both sides insist the other one is living with an emotional liability.

So—do you want a best friend who greets you like you’ve returned from war…
or a roommate who silently judges your life choices from the couch?
