I believe that cats are superior over dogs because cats are more likely to be self-managing. This allows the owner to not put as much energy into caring for them. However, both cats and dogs can be codependent if they have bonded with a singular person to call their own. For example, my cat flora is "tied to my hip" as she follows me about the house all the time. This would suggest that flora may live independent to her own schedule, but codependly seeks out my companionship and attention.
Would you agree that cats are superior to dogs? If so, what would you say defines them to be superior?
