Why do Japan and otaku prefer cats over dog?

Just look how often Nekomimi characters appears in Japanese media. How often Japanese people upload cute cats doing cute things...

Also, look at 4chan and how it praises LOLcats by Caturday.

Are cats part of the Otaku culture?

You're mistaken.

Momiji is one of the most popular Touhous despite until very recently having no dialogue and almost no official depictions. An even more popular one, Sakuya, is famously often depicted with dog characteristics. Meanwhile, cat Touhous like Chen or Rin are struggling to gather a significant fanbase.

That's in Japan, because 4chan, of course, loves Chen to death, as it does its other cats. Blame cultural differences.

It's not just otaku. Women have been associated with cats in the west too as well as the west pretty much inventing cat girls to begin with. The people who like "funny cat pictures" aren't even otaku and is largely the realm of normalfags nowadays. They even get to be crew members on ships http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship%27s_cat

While dogs are loyal and all that, they are low status, even going to far as to be portrayed negatively in some cultures, nearly untouchable things in certain religions, and as food by Asia in general. They are also filthy, and also retarded due to domestication.

Cats are just bro animals that hang out around your place because they feel like it and eat pests. Dogs require lots of money and actually going outside and chew up all your figs and panties.

That said, there are lots of dog girls, but as they're usually portrayed as docile, loyal, combative, dumb types they don't really have any stand-out characteristics from average anime girls.

True of women too. Especially if they have more than one cat. Even if they have a dog, people just assume it's either some tiny rat or that they fuck it daily.

I had 2 cats once, a male and a female. The female had kittens and the male ate them. I was so disgusted by such behavior that I gave them both away.

Meanwhile, the dog never sits on my keyboard, never shits on the floor because of some imaginary slight that it suffered, never attacks me in my sleep, and always accepts being petted.

I am going to have to guess that the same would be true of girls with these traits. The catgirls would be moody and violents, and prone to leaving for days on end because I gave her dry food instead of wet, while the doggirls would be loyal and would sleep peacefully instead of attacking my eyes because of REM.

I've had both cats and dogs all my life and will take a dog anyday.

When you have a dog there's something special, something that dates back farther than recorded history, and the dog understands that. You're more than just master and pet, you're good friends. It isn't unusual for a dog to put his life in danger to save his master, if you leave a dog alone for too long they'll become depressed. Once you return they'll be the happiest they've ever been in their life, only to repeat the process tomorrow. It's a powerful bond.

Cats on the other hand are soft and don't require as much attention but basically treat you like a maid. Sure they'll rub up against you to thank you for food but that's it. They don't give two shits about you just as long as you keep the grub coming. Hell cats can be cheating on their owners with other households, the same cat can whore itself out all over a neighborhood for food and affection.

Cats are popular because small size and easier to care for, might as well get fish. If you want something more like a good friend than a pet a dog is the way to go.

What's your first thoughts when you hear the words Neko, Inu, and Usagi, which translate to Cat, Dog, and Bunny in Japanese, respectively.

Neko should, of course, bring to mind sexy little lolies in cat ears doing lewd things with Oniichan. It is a cherished fantasy and a defining mark of Otaku.

Inu. This may bring a few things to mind. Leastly, there is the Yamainu, which kills lolies and is generally Bad News, and the other is based on the english: Dog. That's right. Olddog15. The mutilator of the West, notorious for his nasty ``unauthorized rewrites'' that have completely destroyed the story and meaning of an entire generation. `Inu' should have a negative connotation regardless.

Usagi can only remind of of one thing: That nasty old annoying cunt, Sailor Moon, which is a hated figure among Otakus as a member of her group authorized the old spam against 4chan (`This website is filthy, let's clean it up!\nThis post brought to you by Sailor Mercury'). This word is full of emotion and shouldn't evoke and positive emotions in you.

There is an obvious winner that I am sure that any astute reader can see. The Neko is clearly the best and only a retard or a madman would think otherwise.

I had a cousin like that once, she was 6 or so back then. She thought every four-legged animal was a dog because she was so sheltered that she never saw any other beast. She pointed at a bunch of grazing sheep and told us she never saw such big dogs before and that she was scared.

Why don't you just get a cat flap and get it to go to the toilet outside? They dig it up themselves, unlike other pets. Once you get them to go outside, they are pretty much effortless as pets as they clean and even hunt to feed themselves if they get too hungry.
