Dude, you do know Akitas are just dogs with cat souls:

 

 
 
Why are Akita's "cat-like"?

The cat-like quality is very normal for Akitas. Partially because of the look of their paws but mostly because it is so normal for most (not all-there's always an exception) to be so clean. I've had 2 Akitas so far and both tried to keep themselves very clean. In my opinion neither did a great job but compared to most dogs they were way ahead of the rest. My last guy licked his paws a lot then would wipe his face off with it. I got him to put up with regular baths but he still wanted things his way so he'd be re-grooming his entire coat until it was just the way he wanted it. It's just the way Akitas are.
 
 

LIVING WITH:

Even though the Akita is a large, hardy breed, they have been bred for centuries as a companion in the home. The loyalty and devotion they display is well loved among Akita owners. Typically the Akita will follow you from room to room in your home, as if its only purpose in life is to protect you and keep you company. The Akita can, however, have aggressive tendencies. Usually the aggression is toward other dogs. They are not typically aggressive toward people, but have highly developed protection instincts and care should be taken when unfamiliar people enter your home. As for children in the home, the Akita will be as loyal toward them as any family member. Of course, young children in general should never be left alone with any large dogs, especially when they are new to the family.

In addition to their extreme loyalty, the Akita likes to keep very clean, and is easily housebroken. These two characteristics make them desirable to have in the home. Some have described the Akita as being almost "cat-like," as they are so clean and odorless.

But yeah, your life changes around a dog, thats a fact pointed out in this thread, wherever I go, my god goes, I mean dog goes, when he can't go, its a problem then.

its interesting that cats have being floating in the 45-47% zone almost from the beginning.   never dipping below 45%  (interestingly) but never really reaching close enough.

 

 

so, out of 129 votes so far, people like dogs just a tiny bit more, but mostly equal to cats.

 

 

 

i get if this thread runs for a year, and somehow we get another 500 votes, this will not change by much.

(they will always be close, unless of course cats win over.... always a possibility)

 

 

so, really, this poll only proves that cats and dogs are both loved members of our human families.

 

 

 

now can we have a poll about      reptiles (cool) VS fishtanks (beautiful but boring)?  or something?  ferrets (awesome but so smelly) VS hamsters (pet white rat is better?)?

 

cats and dogs are just too obvious.

Cats closing in yo, a month later after this post :laugh: 

 

And no, any further posts, have to be approved by House members, err Council members.

BTW, I just went to see the shiba breeder... and spend an hour there...  I am allergic, my eyes are all watery and i started to have difficulty breathing after a while.   dammit.  loved the puppies though.   but only in the short term.

 

 

 

PS.

 

this is the puppy i wanted.

 

$_35.JPG

 

it is shiba, not akita...   i preferred akita, but they do look similar, and the breeder was very close to my home.

 

 

 

 

could it be possible i am allergic to shiba, and not akita...   i wonder.. (not likely though... they seem so similar)

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
