I actually think men are more like cats and women more like dogs. Most men are more solitary than women and like to speak less about how they’re feeling. When they’re together, it’s often competitive. Women are more social and enjoy doing (non competitive) things together. Obviously, these are over-generalizations, but so is any comparison.
Ok, as not much of a cat person, and obviously male, I admit that cats might generally be smarter than dogs. Dogs however are more useful and of benefit to society. After all, when was the last time you heard of a seeing eye cat, rescue cat, or the police feline unit? The only extraordinary thing I have heard of with cats is that one that comforts older people as they are about to kick their final bucket.
According to researchers at Vanderbilt University dogs have more than twice as many cortical neurons in their brains than cats. I read one estimate that puts dogs at about the level of a 4 year old human and cats at a level of 3 year old. GO DOGS!!! Oh, and raccoons are probably smarter than either of them.
Since I rarely seen snarky comments about women in this comic, I may have to think that the comic authors must have a female looking over their shoulder to give her approval to their comic.
Cats spend a lot to time and effort grooming themselves. They do not roll in ANYTHING they find in the yard. Dogs – well, you know what it is they roll in…
…and so it came to pass that a neighbor girl, my lil’ sister and I would walk the mile and a half to the local one-room schoolhouse, being bitten and chased by 3 farm-dogs every damned DAY. At home, our cats only needed to know if we were going fishing that day or not, but they’d love us anyways..You can guess my attitude about girls who’d tongue-kiss their beloved ‘puppies’.. Yuk.

Now ask your mom who would be able to go get help after Timmy falls into the well.

Enough with the disparage Dad jokes. Kids should hear love and respect from and for both parents.

But who says that intelligence correlates with desirability as a pet?
(I say this as someone who has no great desire to share his home with either felines or canines.)

Since Dad is home relaxing on the couch, and Mom is driving the kid around and running errands, I’d say Dad.
