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.
It's almost terrifyingly common. The CDC says around 60 million U.S. residents are living
intelligence
The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.

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

dogs. Also, Nyan dog exists too.
Cats equal dogs in depression help and mental health help

Cats are way better, but the debate goes to con. We grade performance, not who we think is right.
Grading cats and dogs on the metrics listed...
Nyan Cat: cats
I left this playing in the background while writing this. It could have used some actual analysis during the introduction, but it was surprisingly effective.
The counter of the existence of Nyan Dog, fell a bit flat as it was clearly just trying to imitate a cat, serving as a callback to how awesome cats are.
Strength: dogs
This was close. The strongest cat dominates the the strongest dog, plus the 9 lives (to source called it a myth, but further explained how awesome cats are at surviving what would kill any dog), but the population angle and leveraging the strength via teamwork gives this to dogs.
Success: dogs
What is and is not success was not really defined...
The total mass argument was a bit non-sequitur.
The adapting to change link showed dogs letting their form be changed so much; team cat could have leveraged that with cats not needing to change but changing us instead, but failed to do so.
This ends up going to dogs.
Service: dogs
This could have so easily been leveraged against the success argument... Instead pro completely dropped it, giving the full point to con.
He accidentally brought up the sub-point of it of depression, but failed to show that cats are the equal to dogs in this, merely that they help with it (which dogs were already shown to help more than cats, so why even repeat cats involvement here unless having evidence they're somehow better? Perhaps use that parasite lowering out fear, thus making us better.)
Mind Control: cats
Con majorly and repeatedly stabbed himself in the foot on this. He argued that cats have gotten away with it, means it's not a victory for them; and then argues that dogs are disease vectors in a problematic way for us... The thing is what cats spread is strictly beneficial to them, while a dog spreading rabies gets a dog put down.
Evolution: off topic
Depression: see service
Excellent
I am accepting your challenge.
