Cats could never do this work in a million years. Dogs won.

Yeah, but catfags explicitly state that they’re cat owned.

Do they have a zoodom fetish or something?

Unlike dogs, cats don't have a concept of wanting or not wanting to work for us. You're either smart enough to condition them, or you're not.

Dog training is easy on people because dogs are intelligent and will make an effort to interpret your behavior. Cat training is a lot more strict because it's not so much communicating as it is programming, so you need to follow the rules and time windows of operant conditioning as well as you possibly can. If you do, the results are the same.

The difference between doesn't want to work and doesn't understand anything going on is distinct. Many primitive dog breeds will gladly work for the immediate obviousness of pay or when pay has always been consistent, but are leery of doing tasks if consistently not receiving a reward and will even yell at you, smack you, check your pockets, and fuck off and petition nearby humans for the pay they expect to receive. We "fixed" this canine behavior in some weird ways - breeding more neurotic dogs, breeding dumber and more trusting dogs, and breeding dogs that lack the gene for switching off their apetite so they are always so desperate for food that they don't care if they didn't get it the last 20 times. Hence "working breeds" - they have inherited mental illnesses that make them want to work.

If an animal just doesn't understand you need to walk it back to the most basic and consistent operant conditioning routines.

Pugs were normal healthy lapdogs in china, white people did that to them

Now white people got bored and moved to cats

Cats main job today is being a moving house plant and blanket warmer. The dogs designed to act similarly do a significantly better job than a cat ever would. The majority of working dogs have very important and/or useful jobs. Checking for allergies in food, warning diabetics their blood sugar is too high, sniffing for bombs, grabbing me a beer from the fridge, being disabled people's hands to name ONLY a few.

What work pet dogs do? Shit, and entertain you. Same as a cat.

People keep rotties and gsds to fill the role of a pekingese palace dog.
>>
>>4936527
Many people keep retrievers to use while hunting. People only keep cats as interactive house plants, blanket warmer, and to scent their house with.
>>
>>4936530
>Interactive houseplants
That would be a Betta fish.

Cats are affectionate silly companions, good PETS. Like a palace dog.
>>
>>4936539
Half of all cats are just reclusive assholes with a short temper. They're like pitbulls that can't kill you.

>Cat could never be a ZOG attack dog
Stop you're making me like cats. Next time use respectable working dogs like a guide dog, search and rescue or detection dog. Police maulers are in the same tier as violent shitbulls.

A cat would recoil the moment its tender paws touched the snow, scratching and biting anyone getting in the way of it desperately returning to the comfort of its home.

I agree, your post was objectively incorrect.

Seriously what does nature do with horses that get old? They don’t just lay down and die from starvation do they?
>>
>>4936509
What do you consider primitive breeds and which breeds have the appetite switched off?
>>
>>4936587
That is exactly what happens. Their teeth wear down to the gums and they starve to death. But you can circumvent that by feeding soft chaff and oats instead.

You're brown. You're the average 4channer. Understandable.

Oh nice. I'm glad we can agree that you are objectively and factually the NPC. Pretty obvious if you have more then 3 brain cells. If you reply to this post, implicitly or explicitly, it means you agree with me.

Declared by whom? The greedy dataslut megazorporations hellbent on profiting off every aspect of our lives down to every last day on the calendar? Or was it the globalist shadowcult jewminati pulling at the strings? Herding us into neat little lines where our ancestral customs be rationed out of neat little boxes? Well I say "No, thank you! No way!" I will not shun free tradition in the name of bureaucratic slavery. If you have any self respect you'll join me. Cast off your chronological shackles and be free! Be free with me! Oh, can't you feel it? The open skies of truth, the fresh wind of possibility?! Oh come, be free with me! Be free!

A cat is reptilian. Just pure instinct and a glorified decoration like a tegu.
A dog is human. No more a slave than any woman. Try not to be a libtard now.
>>
>>4936770
ok but women ARE slaves. the only way freedom from the patriarchy can be attained is by being non sentient because instincts cant negotiate. therefore cats are free by being too dumb to be enslaved.

Cats are NEETs, they would never tolerate being wageslaves.

>>4936801
Functionally, they are "human". A dog has the same status under you as you have under the state. If you believe a dog is a slave, you are also a slave. If you believe slavery is wrong you are obligated to shoot police officers and government legislators on sight. However, you don't.

You just say "OMG dogs are slaves, cats are free and cat owners dont enslave animals" because that makes you feel like you're worth something for owning a cat. Back to reality I have been keeping the same exact cat in the same exact house for 20 years but if I try and do this to my dog they dig a hole in a door. Dogs are not slaves. They're cooperating citizens.
>but you train the-
Education is mandatory for humans.
>but they get put do-
Go shoot a cop - no, a cops DOG, and they will treat you worse than that dog.
>Animals don't have free will!?
Oh they do, and they get the same treatment as humans that just run away without first asking for their masters permission.

Dogs are so not slaves that it took selective breeding to make some mentally ill enough to cooperate more consistently and they still go off the rails, make demands, and eat your house if you don't also cooperate.

Dogs are people under people. Cats are just little balls of pure instinct that can't even participate in this system but they are not free by a mile. If cats were free you wouldn't see 3-4 happily living in one studio apartment forever.

You cant really refute his points

Cats are slaves. They have no choice. Dogs are negotiated with. Abuse them, and they bite.
>>

pretty sure if you abuse cats they'll bite too

Anti cat schizo confirmed low IQ, poop obsessed, and btfo yet again.

What is this cringe discussion. Pets are not slaves, slaves are slaves.

Both cats and dogs simply exist in an order you provide for them.
>>
>>4936881
Saying dogs are slaves is a stupid meme that both anti dog schizos and pro Spitz schizos have fallen for. It is remarkably stupid to anyone that has any experience with dogs in general.

>>4936879
I meant the Anti dog schizo, sorry.
>>
>>4936879

>>4936894
Yeah the anti dog schizo is 100% all of those things.

>>4936896
You trying to flip the coined "anti cat schizo" around is so funny to us. You're trying sooo hard but we can see right through you.
>>
>>4936899
>us
Lmfao. You can barely see through the stench cloudhome. 15 cats produce within your studio apartment.
>>
>>4936849
This.
>>
>>4936878
according to catfags its abuse to keep them inside and train them

and yet my 100% indoor cat took well to an e collar. as in electric. no more counter surfing! no more carpet scratching! no more pestering dogs! peak slavery. a dog negotiates, a cat obeys. using such devices to punish dogs makes them nervous and aggressive, but they make cats humble and submissive and with much longer battery life because it takes less juice to train a cat. friendliest cat on earth btw. it really put her in her place.
