Description
Everyone knows its true
Round 1
Dogs you can tell what they're thinking most of the time. Cats you can't. Dogs always want to do stuff with you. Cats just do their own thing. Dogs can do what their told. Cats again just do their own thing. Dogs you can understand better. Cats are too hard to understand. Dogs want to spend time with you more. Cats not so much. There's a reason dogs are man's best friend and cats aren't. Dogs don't spread toxoplasmosis in their crap. Cats do.
Cats are better than dogs for humans:
cats are cute animal, small. meow, cats does not injure others but dogs can. cats requires a small space to handle . They are lazy and active. If your house has any rats then cats are best suited, cats can't bark so it is easy to pet even when you are in apartments. cats are easy to care than dogs. cats don't damage any your products. we can keep more cats [2-5] in a house.
Health:
Cat owners have been found to have lower risks of heart disease and stroke, as well as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels., cats inhibit growth of disease causing animals like rat, rabbit, insects. Cats require less maintenance , also we can leave cat alone when we go to trip, but dog will bark.
Average cost to maintenance monthly : For cat-60-100$,For dog-100 to 200$

>Reason for Mod Action:
The vote was found to be sufficient per the site voting policy standards.
The vote does mention their opinion, but is literally voting against their opinion so that proves a lack of bias. Further, this is effectively a single round debate, which are really hard for the instigator to win given they make no defenses to their points.
**************************************************
The debates a joke debate largely.
I vote to render decision of my observations of debates, but also to help new site members on the underlying debate protocol that will lead to better debating. I'm 75, and have debated since high school, even in a variety of professional functions, so it is a familiar exercise. I make mistakes, too, so please do not take this as assuming I am an expert. I hope I can be a help. Take it in that light. As attributes go, I learned a lot about cats from your argument I did not know before as I have never had one as a pet. I'm allergic to them, as it happens [their dander causes extreme nasal congestion], but not to dogs, of which I've had several.
Then you misunderstand what I meant by "purpose" in defining, by argument, "Better." As I said, "As a pet? As human or property protection? As something to kick around?" "Better" needs to have that explanation, and neither of you satisfied that threshold. I did not mention that the only description is: "Everyone knows it's true," which amounts to a truism. that advantages Pro., and that cannot be by an instigator.
You both argued for attriv Ute's of dogs and cats, and that's fine for a debate that is abut attributes. But attributes is not tree resolution, is it?
Read the debate instructions relative to "truism" and voting on that principle. You know why I did not, but you'll notice I am a frequent voter. In fact, I rank in the topi ten [#7] of all who vote on debates, and in the top 20 [#14] of all debaters who debate [over 1,200 of us].
Both debaters argue for the respective superiority of the animals as pets. There does not seem to be disagreement between the debaters as to purpose.
Both participants forfeited half the scheduled rounds, and made only claims of what amounts to "better," a nebulous term on which to debate any resolution. "Better," for what purpose? As a pet? As human or property protection? As something to kick around? Neither deserve a vote.
Bro quit after seeing the argument
If I could, I would cast an unjust vote now. I am biased for Con.
very short debate
