Since ancient times, people had shown their interest in some animals for their own benefits. However, this interest has been not declined so far, and is being carried on till date in different forms and usages. The two most popular pet animals which are centre of attraction even today are "dog and cat".
Dog acts as a guard, children's playmate and walking companions. So, dog has earned the nickname man's best companion. Dog gives emotional support to the owner, and considered as very loyal animal. In addition to that dogs has high hearing power which means they can detect the sound beyond the man's reach and is able to locate the exact the position. Furthermore, dogs have strong smelling power, and is able differentiate different odors. Similar is the case with cat, cat is also known as the "domestic cat or house cat". Cat also gives emotional support to the owner like a dog does. Cats have excellent night vision and can see near darkness to locate prey. Moreover, cats also have acute hearing power like a dog. Furthermore, cat is more sociable animal.
Despite their similarities, dog and cat are from two different species. Dog belongs to the canine family. On the other hand, cat belongs to feline family. Again, dog is a pack animal whereas cat is a loner. Furthermore, dog need to be cared for whereas cats are independent animals. Dogs are more affectionate when compared to cats. A dog scares away intruders, whereas a cat will just run for cover. Dog needs a lot of spaces and they love to run about. On the contrary, cats are very happy in small spaces.
It is interesting to see how two different animals can be similar and different at the same time. Dog and cat are very different in appearance and behavior, but they are also similar because they are pet animals with whom people behave like a friend.
1. What I like about this piece of writing is various differences and similarities.
ReplyDelete2. Your main point seems to be similarities and differences between cats and dogs.
3. In the essay, the sentence I liked most is 'they are also similar because they are pet animals with whom people behave like a friend.' because it shows me how important the two pets are these days to human being.
4. Your opposite opinions on cats don't make sense. Once you said, 'cat is more sociable animal' and one other time, 'cat is loner'.
5. I think you need to pay attention to little grammatical mistakes like 'dog need'. Moreover, if you need certain specific figures to explain better how excellent their abilities are.

ReplyDelete1. What I like about this piece of writing is your topic that is really familiar to us.
2. Your main point seems to be comparison and contrast between dogs and cats.
3. 'Dog and cat are very different in appearance and behavior, but they are also similar because they are pet animals with whom people behave like a friend. ' was good because the dogs and cats are the closest animals people ever had.
4. 'and is being carried on till date in different forms and usages.' I don't get what it means.
5. It tends to be decline and focused on dogs more than cats. To be balanced, you need to mention more about cats.
