Which are there more of in the world, cats or dogs?

From what I read there is 400 million dogs in the world, and only 220 million cats in the world (This is assuming we are referring to domestic cats and dogs and not the wild ones). Ergo there is more dogs in the world. http://answers.ask.com/Science/Nature/how_many_dogs_are_there_in_the_world http://www.metaphoricalplatypus.com/ArticlePages2/How%20Many%20Cats%20Are%20There.html Oct 06 12, 9:01 AM

From what I can read from various sources, the world figures for cats and dogs is not definitive due to countries that do not keep or maintain statistical data re same. There is statistical data for the number of cats and dogs in the United States---68 million owned dogs in the U.S. 73 million owned cats in the U.S. HTTP.//vetmedians.about.com/cs/disease Oct 07 12, 4:57 PM

In the end, the only important statistic is that dogs are BETTER than cats. The following link proves this conclusively. (even with the weak cat-supporting rebuttal) http://www.rightwingnews.com/humor/cats-or-dogs-which-are-the-better-pets/ Oct 07 12, 11:23 PM
