Round 1
My Case------Dogs are either equal to, or better than cats.
Physical Strength
Dogs are bigger physically, the size of a medium sized dog is 35-65 pounds, but for medium sized cats, they only weigh 10-15 pounds. This means a dog could easily outmuscle cats when they compete for food or territory.
But what about bite force. Well a cat has a bite force quotient of 58, with a dog having a bite force quotient of 117. This again proves how cats would be completely outmatched if they had to compete with dogs.
Groups of dogs even hunt lions, proving how even animals that are bigger than dogs, can, will, are, and would get overpowered by dogs.
They are more successful
There are way more dogs than cats, currently there are 900 million dogs. However, there are only 600 million cats. Meaning the weight of all dogs(assuming they’re 50 pounds) is 45,000,000,000 pound, but with cats(assuming every cat weighs 12.5 pound) the combined weight is only 7,500,000,000 pounds, a massive physical disparity. This proves that dogs are more successful when it comes to growing their population and advancing their species.
Dogs also adapt better to change.
Dogs are smarter on average as well.
Service to the World
Dogs assist with depression in many mays. But, you could say cats do as well, well this is true but I’ll prove dogs assist with depression more. Dogs encourage more exercise, this is relevant because exercise is an all natural way to cure depression according to “Harvard Medical School.” Also, “a study from Michigan State University found that about half of dog owners get at least 30 minutes of exercise per day (which is ideal), probably because dogs are happy and active and like to run.”
Also, dogs are able to guide blind people while cats for the most part don’t. But, it doesn’t end there, dogs help with deaf people more than cats. Lets not forget that dogs find criminals, people who smuggle drugs, kidnap, and kill people can be thwarted by dogs.
I have nothing to rebut.
Round 2
Thanks con for the post
Physical strength
Cats get this 100 percent. a lion can beat up any dog. Even con shows the superiority of cats by having a cat as his profile pic
Cats always land on there feat.
Cats have 9 whole lives
Mind Control
Cat have a parasite that Goes inside the brain of rats and makes the rats love cats. So the cats can eat the rats easier
Cat poop parasite controls minds early -- and permanently, study finds. The mind-controlling parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, might make permanent changes in brain function as soon as it gets in there, the researchers report.
Cats have successfully mind controlled 60 million Americans
It's almost terrifyingly common. The CDC says around 60 million U.S. residents are living
Egyptians were completely dominated by cats. To the point where they worshiped them like gods.
I want to point out that this cat parasite does not support evolution.
Evolution states that animals adapted to there environments for advantages. Why would a parasite adapt to the environment and end up with advantages that helps another animal. God created the parasite specifically to hep the cat. When god was creating the cats he invented a parasite to help the cat catch mice. God had knowledge that cats would need hep catching mice so he used that knowledge and made a parasite that goes inside the mice's brain and mind controls it and lures it to the cat.
he used knowledge just like the definition of intelligence

Nyan cat
Without cats we would not have nyan cat. nuff said
Depression
Cats equal dogs in depression help and mental health help
Physical Strength
My opponent brings up lions, it is true 1 lion can beat 1 domesticated dog. But, even today dogs kill lions, not by challenging them 1 versus 1, but by overwhelming them with superior numbers. There is no way the 20,000 lions globally, down from 200,000 about a century ago, could ever outpower and take territory from the 900 million dogs around today.
Lions are a failing species, as previously mentioned the lion population has fallen by 180,000 in about a century. Also, lions have lost 95% of the territory they used to occupy, and that’s without 900 million dogs on the loose stealing their food and killing their cubs. Dogs now have 900 million individuals, which is up from only 525 million in 2012.
Neither lions nor cats could best the 900 million dogs physically.

Nyan cat is only important because it impacts humans and human culture. Well seeing how there are more dogs in the world and a larger percentage of households have pet dogs in America, it’s fair to say dogs are more influential culturally.
