I have both, so I KNOW, lol. I think I would opt for a cat over a dog:
Advantages of a cat:
1. You don't have to worry about getting home from somewhere to let the dog out.
2. The dog doesn't wake you up at 6am (or earlier)to go out.
3. You don't have to walk a cat.
4. Cats eat less, no lugging 40# bags of food home (just cat litter, lol)
5. You dont' have to pick up dog ___ in your yard.
6. If your cat gets out the door they are usually smart enough to come home.
7. Siamese are very cuddly and like attention, sit in your lap, much like a dog.
8. Constantly letting the dog in and out.
9. Many dogs won't go out in the rain --you have to go WITH them = wetness!
10. Cats can be left alone overnight. Dogs = large kennel fees
Don't get me wrong, I love my dog, but I'm at the stage where when he's gone I won't get another one. If I get an animal, then I'm totally in for the commitment --he becomes part of the family til the end. The life span of a dog will be 10+ years which is a long time, so think carefully about your decision.
Cats are very cuddly and affectionate, fun to watch and play with, but I guess if you want some more exuberant attention from a dog, then a dog is for you.
This is probably more than you want to know.. ;)

i have had both in the past, and now we have none. i think that is the best. no mess, no worrying about who will take care of them when we take a trip, no more stains on carpet, no more hair in food, and etc.. it was nice to have pets so our kids could have them while growing up., i'm just tired of cleaning up after them.

I think dog is better than cat because is useful to us in many ways. they are kept in home to keep us safe from thieves. some special trained dogs are used by policemen. dogs are helpful to us in many ways if they are trained properly. Many people have dog as pet. about cat they are not of much use. i am having both cat and dog as pet at home. cat can be keep in home to catch the rats. thats it.
