Ay ar ah kitteh pursun! Yeh!
Yey kittehs! >w<
Scuse me, ai fink ai see a mystake in nummer 10! U says 93.6 millun peepul own cats. Srlsy? Shud say cats own 93.6 millun peepul. kthxbai
I agree.
Dunno. Metinks cats own moredan 93.6 milliun peepl. (Gotz to tink of famblies.)
Hmm… good poynt. Mai fambly bee three beans an two lolcats. So… each lolcat haz 1.5 peepul? Moar lyke dey each has all 3 ov us! Dis sai-entific-lol maf is too much fur me.
But de kittehs own teh goggies, an teh hamstars, an teh miceee etc
so kittehs approx. own eferyone in de world!!
In a cat’s world, all things belong to cats. SO REALLY CATS OWN ALL 7 BILLION PEOPLE SINCE THEY OWN THIS PLANET. THE END.
acshully it 6 billion, ai is well clevvah
Running an actual headcount is, of course, impossible; however, standard statistical analysis indicates that as of the moment I type this, world human population is just over 7 billion.

and cats own cheezebergers
cats then, own both burger king and mc donnald’s
do cats care about stock markets or they simply do it for their daily cheezburgr?
Aisez ur gud, u smart kitteh!
TOO TRUE Tabbymom Jen!

Trufax!
ai agrees 2 dat… plus… kittes domesticatified? yah… suer… adn da whirld issa pitza… (wuddin eet bee niec iffn eet wus?)
Shur. hoomins domesi … domistict … adopted goggies. But kittehs adopted hoomins. Hoomins make gud mouse lures.
Alzo emplize catz dumestikated by hoomins 4 7000 yeerz. Reely iz tiem catz haz ben dumestikatin ther hoomins.
K, technically, 93.6 million lolcats own hoomins. I R hoomin. I gives loves and noms to 3 lolcats. Dey definitely ownz me, but not da goggies or the lolbird. Mah old goggie is adopted mama to 2 of mah kittehs: dey lubs her. Goggies r our frendz.
“The cat is the only animal which accepts the comforts but rejects the bondage of domesticity.” ~Georges Louis Leclerc de Buffon
I think that applies to (some) humans, too. Like me.
Georges is SEW SEW BANG AWN!!!
#11 is probably showing that dog owners need to be healthier to take care of dogs cause they have to go on walks and stuff, while less healthy people are more likely to buy cats so that they don’t have to struggle to take care of them.
Why could #7 tell us which dogs are smartest, but not whether cats are smarter than dogs?
Cuz da cats refoosed to bee tested!
nu is cuz teh beans who made teh chart is too emberased to tell tat dogy is smarter ten kittehs
It’s really because the humans who made the chart don’t want to admit that the cats outscored them…
O.M.GOGGIE!!! R u srs? No seff respektin Kitteh wud sit stil 2 b xaminded let aloan subjektd 2 a studee!! Dey needz deyz napz! Sew menee napz!!

it said that kittehs are generally as smart as those dog breeds, no matter what breeds the kittehs are, therfore, doesn’t matter the type, they’re better than dogs.
Why wasn’t this proofread better? Also, it doesn’t seem to be a very good comparison study.
I see no errors. As for its quality as a study, ICHC is hardly a scientific journal. It’s comedy – enjoy it.
I saw an error right up front — the earliest evidence of domestication of cats dates back 9,500 years; not 7,000.
Cats were never domesticated in the first place… They came to us to be WORSHIPPED! XD
Mebbeh dis ‘studee’ wuz writtid twennee-fibe-hunnert yeers ago.
OR twennee-fibe-hunnert-an elebentee yrz ago! OH YA!!!

Why is it always conflict? Cats/dogs; men/women; pepperoni/anchovies;salt/pepper; 3/4 time or 4/4? I’m tired.
Conflict = interest. Peace = zzzz.

Ai lik zzzz, jus lik mai kitteh.
Yeah, uh. This thing seems a lil biased toward the dog side of things. That ain’t right on a site for people who clearly are smart enough to prefer CATS.
My sis quoted this to me once… don’t know where she got it but it’s good! Cat’s are either the most wild of the domesticated animals or the most tame of the wild ones!
Kewl!!! me likee!!!!
DEF the mowst domesticatd uv teh wild wunz!! Mai 2 Kittehz are sew lubbin an dey spens a LAWT uv timez awn mai lapz but if’n I petz dems aftur abowt fifteen minutz dey strtz teh lubbin bitin fing an dey BITZ HRD aftr awile!!!

we don’t care about no stinkin’ infograph!! we noes kittehs is the BEST!!! some hoomins just feel sorry for the goggies and make these things show them to be better than they are. kittehs ARE the bestest!!!
Dogs haf owners. Cats has staff.
As for #5, you tell the 3 youngest cats in my house that they are purely carnivores…they eat the vegetables that my 15 month old daughter throws on the floor! Broccoli seems to be their favorite.
I’ve watched them munch on asparagus, potatoes, carrots, green beans, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, mushrooms. They’re my little vacuum cleaners, lol. Not sure why, there’s plenty of dry & soft cat food to go around.
Yesh–I can has foto graffick proof of mah Biffer kitteh raiding teh broccololi steemer fur leftover broccololi. She lurves it!
Gracie loves hummus… go figure.
They are obligate carnivores; this does not deny that they can eat plants as an herbivore/omnivore do, just that they must consume meat (or the processed cat foods that have the proper materials included) in order to survive…
Otherwise their body will utilize their own resources to survive…
I oddly have found my cats to enjoy Popcorn, just have to hide anything tuna or fish smelly from them.
is #6 why my cat is always eating SPIDERS?
I dunno, butt wun of my kittehs eetid teh plastik/fabrik ring dat camed awf teh baloney teh uthur day.
Spiders aren’t vegetables… they are meat. So they got protein, they are fun to chase, and they crunch satisfyingly. That’s my opinion on why a cat would eat those eight legged freaks.
Numba 3 proofs yer kitteh can hearz yu but choosez not tu.
is cawld “seelektiv heering”. my fathur akkyoozd mee uv havyng it tu.

Yah, Dini an Sarah scoff at dat assumpshun.

But dat’s juss wat aifink. :O
i got both ^_^ 11 is very right i’m healthy and smart (A’s and B’s) and im a traceur (google it)
#11: Dogs cannot comprehend the findings of this document. Cats understand it – they just don’t care.
ARGH! Make that “#12″ – wtb edit button.
It really surprises me that more people own cats in the US. I don’t that’s the case here in Texas! Seems almost everyone has a dog, or four…
Cats are easier to keep in large cities/densely populated areas.
I know exactly which of my neighbors have dogs – I can hear them barking every time I open my windows – but I don’t know which neighbors have cats. Cats don’t bark, they don’t need to be walked, and many are indoor-only, so I don’t even know they are there.
is alsew verry commun tu has manee kittehs on teh farms an in rurawl aryahz.
Ai’s herd of lolkitteh (oar 2 oar 3) dat haz moar dan one fambly carin an feedin fur dem! Sum dubble-countin, ai fink so.
Naybor’s kitteh spends winteh wif dem an summeh wif fambly 2 blox Norf. Woo new? Kitteh migrates!
OK Tabbymom Jen… nao… I hassa 2 Kittehz an dey duz nawt BARK but I hassa wun dat MEOWZ BERRY LOWDZ!! Espeshuly If’n I walk to teh storz wifowt Himz. Himz iz 15 yrz oldz an duz nawt liek 2 B wifowt Himz Momma. Himz howlz BERRY LOWDZ sumtymez. If’n I taekz Himz in teh strollr…Himz iz fien.
LOL VioletD! Ai hadded kitteh whoo sayed “URF” wen angree, an her nefur happee unless her angree. Ai gif her treets an wen ai stop so she no gets fat, her grab bag an say “URF”.
i don’t think it’s true. i saw a thing a while back that said more people own dogs than cats, but since cat people are more likely to own multiple cats, the cats still outnumber the dogs.
i like mudkipz!
It taked goggies twyse az lawng tu lurn hao tu manippylate hoominz az it did de kittehz.
Yoo score 10,000 on yur CAT! Enknee kollige will accept you an yur lolcats!

Okay…
This was definitely interesting, but I find it unfair that so many commenters are hating on dogs!
I like dogs and cats: is that not possible?
We’re not hating on dogs, we’re just promoting cats. Defining qualities that make cats and dogs different doesn’t necessarily promote one or the other as the better pet. Why do some people like chocolate ice cream better than strawberry?
Very possible! I have a few of each, and I love them all to death!
I has a kitteh who is a nomnivore. Anyfing I noms, she tries to steal. We had words over sweet potato fries last nite.
shee wun, diddunt shee?
Victor iz nomnivore, too.
“Whatcha eetin?”
“Curry. Not for kitteh.”
“For kitteh?”
“No.”
“Pleez?”
“Not for kitteh.”
“For kitteh? Pleeze?”
An den him youses grabity to pullify mai playse matt, hopin tu nok playte on foor.
Toonces is nomnivore too.
*Poke poke poke* Dat looks gud.
Trust me you no like. It’s salad.
*Schmoo merow* WANT!
No. Is mine. You can’t have.
Butt, I’s starfin. Tired ov gormay gushies. WANT!
*Scrapes left-over salad into kitteh dish*
*Nom nom nom* Want more!
Go Away! Sheesh!
LOL Victor noms meats and… and… granola bar crumbs!
When Victor really really wants, he spins! He’s trained me to give him Temptations for spinning, sitting, or “gimme a paw”. When I eat, he mews, then spins so I know he wants some. He also pokes me and tries to push his nose under my elbow. He’s silly. Nina just sits by my chair purring and waiting patiently for me to offer tidbits. Not that I encourage them…
Srsly tho…mai hooman noez dat Kittehz wil nebber rly be domesticacatd. She juz haz a happee dat her Kittehz iz nawt LIONZ or TIGRZ or BAREZ oh my!! Teh skrachez..teh bitez..teh EETINZ!! Hey wate! Barez are nawt Kittehz!
I iz pwetty sure Siameseses is smarther than Pershianz. No ‘ffense Pershiez owners !
That stoody are no gud. Som brid r smarther than oturz. Fo shure !
Farm kittehs r da smartest. I nebber met a purebred kitteh that didn’t look ‘tarded (‘cept sum ov da Maine Coons). Farmz kittehs has jobs, sum ride da tractor, dey can eben tellz time. Now iz time to go chase birds and mices in da barn, den will be time for nap before da fresh milks.
#5: if kitteh is omnivore, why he iz alwayz nommin my plants?
Oh, I nose de anser! Dey haz exellon barfibilitee.
Mine eets nything yur eeting. Incluudeen veggees
That’s a rather biased study towards dogs, they should also inculde that: Cats are generally cheaper to maintain than dogs, easier to look after, they can see in the dark, dogs cannot. This is from personal experience and from a show I watched that compared the two on various things.
AGREED. A dog is waaaaay more expensive! and way, way waaaaaaay more trouble! and I say this as a dog owner.
And large dogs are cheaper? REALLY? I highly doubt =/ I also doubt that dog owners are healthier D: If anything, it’s the other way around!
Small dogs tend to live a lot longer than big/giant dogs, by 5-8 years, so therefore they would cost more. That’s the same reasoning behind outdoor cats being so much less expensive than indoor cats: indoor cats generally outlive outdoor cats by about 3x.
You forget that cats can see in color while dogs are for the most part color-blind. (dogs percieve color in much more muted tones.)
I don’t believe #9. There are lots of household cleaners that remove urine smell (even of smelly dogs too).
But either way – cats over dogs, no question whatsoever.
TOTEZ KittyFanatic! An Awlsew agreez wif Shepmom!! Awl PETZ iz GRATE!!! I lubz dem awls…I juz hassa teh Kittehz rite nao… but I lubz AWL libbin crechurz! Eben hoominz!

Cats are not domesticated. They are commensal.
I call bias against kittehs. Not fair. Kittehs are the best!!!
awww !!! qq !!! a want a kittiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, cats have been hanging around humans for longer than that. I distinctly rememeber blogging about an article a couple of years ago that discovered it was more like 20,000.
I totally get the “cat owners have college degrees” (two kittehs, two degrees
) but what if you have both cats and dogs? Do you have to send back your certificates, or something? 
Nah, you just get health and brains.
On teh otter paw, ai habs wun doggie and 3 college degrees. N ai nawt sending any back — werked tew hard for dem!
Statistics shew dat 95% of awl statistics can be mades tew say anyfing, aifinkso!
Hao many TV shoos der bin bout korrektin cat bee-hayvyur? I nefur seed “it’s me or da CAT”!
My cat is a vegetarian of sorts. She refuses to eat meat unless it’s the dry cat food. She won’t touch any other meat including wet cat food, treats, lunch meat, etc. She does love peanut butter and goldfish crackers though!
I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and a bunnah…and fishes…so I guess I even myself out.
I got both cat and dog. I will get university degree and good health? Yay!!!
It’s a good fing dat I’m a kitteh persun. I’ll grajyooate wif a degree and teh goggie owner’s won’t! >:) Mwahahaha…
Mah goggie went tu classes wif meh (at teh Kollej uv Willyum en Merry, no less!). An’ I hassa dubble majer Bacheler’s an a Master’s tuu.

I no sum cats dat has thums!
HEY WT THE MATTER? CAT ARE OMNIVORES, THEY USUALLY EATS VEGETABLES, FRUITS AN HERBS, AND THATS COS THEY NNED TO KEEP HEALTY THE DIGESTIVE SISTEM.. SO WHY DONT THEY CHECK BETTER before WRITTIN THIS… AN IM MAAAAAAAAAAAD
soooooo… who won?
no,no dogs AND CATS raise health
Cats can bathe themselves and amuse themselves.
I had a cat that ate green beans, broccoli, and grass. So they are definitely Omnivores.
actually, cats’ noses are also unique like fingerprints & i believe their fur patterns are also unique, although i am not sure
cats eat grass, melon, broccoli and lots of other un meaty tings so are omni-vores.
5. Cats are carnivores.
Mine eats french fries and potato chips with salt taste.
dog urine smells worse than cat urine. i know because ive had both animals pee on me. dog poo also smells worse than cat poo. i know because ive had to pick up lots of both. these are just facts. i dont know where youre getting your information that tells you otherwise
I’m a cat person… But I have a dog and a cat, so… Will I be healthy and get a university degree? Sweet! XD
i haz a kitteh and a puppeh
there is so much stuff wrong here… 1: cats have been domesticated for 9500 years 2: cats have almost as good smelling as dogs… not only like… 10% 3:people with cats have a better effect on humans than dogs do… in both ways…(see #11) AND cats can be omnivores… but in the wild and most indoor/outdoor cats are only carnivore.
The reason is that cats waited until they mankind was civilized enough to be of use to them…..they’re still not 100% sure.
