Hey Room 10. I have just posted some of your fantastic persuasive writing about Cats and Dogs on our blog below. Have a read of these and make comment on what you like about each piece of writing.

Cats are better than dogs

I strongly agree that cats are better than dogs...Well here are the reasons why they’re better, cats can just sleep anywhere unlike dogs where you have to make bed for them. And the other reason is cats don’t bark at night unlike dogs where they bark at night and can’t sleep.


OMG! I hate dogs, they bark at night, can’t get to sleep Ahhh! why do you guys like dogs, they’re disgraceful, and plus you have to make bed for them, unlike cats, they can just sleep anywhere, I’m telling you, buy a cat. For example if you want to go for a walk, you don’t need to take them as well, they’ll wander off.


If you still want to know why cats are better than dogs, well.....Do you want to save money? Buy a cat then, cats`are small and cute and cheaper..Dogs are just Eeeeew, they are real expensive, they dribble all everywhere and you have to pick up their poop. I hate dogs pooing in your backyard, you have to pick it up and you’ll be like Eeew yucky!


I bet your wanting to change your mind of wanting a cat, but I reckon this will hook you into it. Dogs can get lost easily and that will be a waste of money because they’re expensive, they cost like $150 and cats cost like $50-65 and they don’t get lost, what are you waiting for? Buy a cat now.


I still think cats are better, just read everything I wrote and that will change your mind from dogs to cats...To get in contact call 0800 569 965, Conditions Apply.

                 Cats. vs .Dogs

“Guess what? ( what ) Well I strongly agree cats make better pets than dogs by far! Here are some examples...Well they clean themselves, catch dirty pests and make good companions at the end of the bed. Wanna hear more, well keep reading.”

“Cats are more superior than dogs because, well here is my first reason. Cats clean themselves. Dogs go run around and roll in mud. Cats are pleasant. They don’t get as grimy,grotty and filthy as dogs do. When you clean dogs they get you wet by jumping around the bath and get you wet. Cats are made to be clean Their tongue has exceptional  taste buds that when they clean themselves their hair doesn’t get on their tongue.”

“Also cats are more excelling than dogs because if you are disabled, having a cat means you wouldn’t have to walk it, they clean themselves and keep you warm by sitting on your lap. With cats they are independent but loving. They love you no matter what.  If you are disabled dogs won’t help you and if they manage to get on your lap they squish you, so they are not really stupendous pets for a disabled person.”

“Cats are more finer than dogs because, well another reason is dogs are loud and cats are silent. When cats are content they purr, dogs bark and wag their tail around. When cats are famished they meow, dogs just, you guessed it bark and jump around. Also when you are in hibernation cats still purr and don’t hog the bed, dogs they sometimes bark but ALWAYS hog the  bed.”

“ So in conclusion I think cats are better than dogs. They clean themselves,are good for disabled people and aren’t loud so that why I think cats are better than dogs!

Do you think cats are better pets then dogs ?

NO!I think dog are better pets then cats by far! Dogs can be cute and cuddly, but they do more then that! Dogs make the world and safer place to live for everyone. As you read more you will be tempted to trade your cat for a dog:)

Dogs are way better then cats! Whats the point on having a cat when your never see it? The only time you see it is either when there hungry or there just strolling around the streets. Dogs never leave your side, but they also never stick to your side. Dogs are there when you need them and they go away when you don't. And that there is just ONE paragraph on why you should get a dog!

The reason why you are going to go down to the pet store and exchange your cat for dog is because, would you rather spend $200 or more! on a treadmill or spend just about $20 on a dog and be the right person and take that step forward on being healthy and fit? well be the better person and take those steps forward. But start with buying a super cute, caring loving, helpful playful most AWESOME pet dog!

In my third paragraph i should state for the THIRD time, dogs could be the best friend you have never had. Dogs will never turn on you even when they know your wrong there always there. pets like dogs are what you can call a true friend, a best friend and friend:)

At the end you should always remember dogs do a way better job then cats, they also do way more then cats. This is coming to the end of my persuasive writing,

Cats Versus Dogs as pets.

I am 99.99% that dogs can make better pets than cats I you tell you why, dogs are very loyal to people, they can protects your house and they also can entertain you. The purpose of this writing is to persuade you about dogs can make better pets than cats and I will explain you my three main reason and hopefully you’ll agree with me that dogs make better pets than cats at the end of this writing.

I think that dogs can make better pets than cats, well, because my first reason is that dogs are loyal to people and they are also friendly, that is why most people said that they are the man’s best friend. Because they are easy to train, you can make fun of them. And when every time you’re in the house they always goes to you and wanting to play with them.

My second reason is dogs can protects your house. For example when your going far away or you’re going to the mall or you’re at work they can guard your house and they can attack any burglars in your house. And cats can’t even do anything they can’t even fight to any burglars because they’re scared. That’s why dogs are very important.

I hope you’ll agree with me now that dogs can make better pets than cats because my last reason is that dogs can entertain you, for example when you’re bored and you got nothing to do at home you can play with the your dog. And you can also get fit because you can take the dog for a walk in the park with your friends or you can teach the dog with some new skills.

Conclusion: So in conclusion I still think that dogs can make better pets than cats because they are loyal, they can guard your house and they can entertain you. And now if you want a pet get a dog.

Cats versus Dogs

I definitely believe that dogs are better pets than cats. Dogs are more fun,they can help you and they can save your life,if your not keen on believing me then let me explain.

If you have a disadvantage of not being able to see than dogs can help you. They will be loyal only to you,they will never let you go. they will guard your house when your away so no body gets in.Its cheaper to get a dog than an alarm.

They can swim but cats are afraid of water, so they can save you when your drowning
Dogs are fit so you need to take them for runs so you get fit, but cats will stay home or go out by themselves. so really people with dogs are very fit and healthy.

you have to clean them, feed them, wash them and take them out for runs and that shows responsibility which comes in handy in life. dogs can beg which is funny to watch but cats will just scratch you instead.Cats don’t help when your in need,but dogs help a lot.

There for i recommend a fine fit dog,not a lazy cat. They are easy to feed, fun to play with and will protect you. So when your out buying a pet, get a dog.

“ Cats make better pets than dogs’’

I strongly disagree of that statement because:
dogs help people and the whole community and they  help us keep the world safe and healthy ., let me persuade you that dogs are much better pets than cats:

my first reason is that : dogs are a great body guards they protect you when you go out for a walk in the park.

my second reason is : they can help the police to find dead bodies . from the earthquake and stuff and they stop drugs coming to the countries.

and lastly my third reason is that: they can find their own food like bone & meat & such and such and they can go drink from the rain or something Else.


that’s all my reasons to persuade to buy a dog rather than a cat and I hope you like my 3 wonderful and great  reason.

“CATS MAKE BETTER PETS THEN DOGS”

I believe that dog are better pets then cats. Dogs are better pets then cats because they help man kind, they help you get fit and they are more loyal. I will persuade you that dogs are
better pets then cats.

Dogs make better pets then cats because dogs help mankind because with out dogs the world would be in danger.Dogs can use there nose to sniff dead bodies dangerous weapons and things that your not able to take into countries.

Dogs are a mans best friend because they are playful, kind and fun. because when your bored at home and you have a dog you should go and get the dog and go to the park or go for a run so get a dog not a cat.

Dogs are better then cats because dogs can take you for a run to exercise you and help you with your weight. Dogs help you exercise because when you are trying to lose some weight and you have no one to help you go to the phone and ring the pet store.

Dogs are better then cats because dogs can help you make you fit and have so much fun with you they do all them stuff because they care for you and never leave you alone so next time you get a pet get a dog.
cats make better pets than dogs?”



I truly stand by my belief that dogs make better household pets than cats plainly because they are fit and full of energy (fun too) and also keep you fit and healthy too, secondly they are trustworthy for example they are used as guard dogs, they help the blind and are also trusted by the police. Dogs are loyal so they don't run off like cats do and they wont run off for no reason so that also proves dogs are friends too.klbgfs

reasons dogs keep you fit is because dogs need daily runs and walks so when you help them by giving them exercise you are also giving yourself exercise. Also cats don't need those daily “workouts” so if they don't need it you wont go and walk your cat, that could possibly lead to putting on weight as-well.

If you have a tight bond with your dog I assure you that  your pet dog will do whatever it can to protect you and your household. There are alot of robberies going on now days so dogs, with their strong hearing abilities could almost be like a second security alarm. Also cats cant be bothered doing things that a dog would do.

Dogs are known as a mans best friend and they don't say that for no reason, a dog is loyal and will always stand by your side. Dogs would have a higher chance of helping you if you were in danger than a cat and also dogs don't run away as much as cats do too.

After you read this i know for a fact that the nearest pet shop will definitely be full with members of the community willing to get a new, full of excitement pet DOG!!
Cats Versus Dogs

Do you think dogs are better pets than cats well your wrong! The reason for this is that cats are easier to run and manage,cats are also independent and many more other things and by the time you have finished reading this,you would be on your way to buying your own cat.

Number one is that cats are easier to run for one thing they eat less than dogs and most of the time cats are looking for their own food so you save more money.If you really want to save money,you could not feed your cat at all.I know a family that didn’t feed there cat at all.after a week they found fifteen dead birds under there car.

Second is that cats are cuter than dogs,your thinking how can a normal house cat be cutter then a puppy.Well I’m not talking about a normal cat I’m talking about little baby kittens.They invented the word cute,have you ever seen kitten trying to catch a butterfly doesn’t that put a warm feeling in your tummy well that’s being cute and we as humans can’t get enough of it.

Third is that cats are are helpful,when there is a rat or mouse in the house it will kill them plus you learn how they hunt so it’s basically watching a Lion,Tiger,Panther,Puma,Cheetah and all the other giant cats in the world hint so you don’t need to watch discovery and that saves you more money.

now I know you want to stop reading this argument because you want to get a cat right away well you can because this is the end.
