cats and dogs are both domesticated animals that humans have kept as pets for thousands of years. they are both typically loving and loyal companions that offer affection and need attention. however, cats tend to be more independent and are much better climbers due to their retractable claws, while dogs typically require more interaction and require hands-on training. cats generally weigh less, take up less space, and are easier to maintain in small living areas. dogs, on the other hand, generally need more exercise and space, and may require more maintenance than cats.
