The debate among animal lovers on which is better pet between cats versus dogs is a hot-button issue that has raged on since times immemorial. Now, a hilarious cat vs dog video seems to have brought up the discussion again and put to rest who does better when it comes to an obstacle course.
Shared on Twitter was a video of a dog and a cat who had to cross an obstacle that was made with several bottles and containers. The task was to reach the other side without dropping any of the bottles. Here is how it went:

While the cat easily walked past the obstacle without breaking a sweat, the dog did the exact opposite and literally dropped everything around.
Viewed over 7 million times, the viral video prompted several reactions online, with many sympathising with the canine. “He tried. Its the thought that counts,” wrote a user. Another tweeted, “A good indication as to why we have the term cat burglar and not dog burglar.”

This is the reason why. The hind legs (paws) of a cat follows the print left by the front legs (paws) so if the cat’s first step steps went smoothly, it’s already through. https://t.co/xwZGwXoYAs
It’s a stalking behaviour for big cats too, dogs and wolves lack the coordination.— Pascal C Okafor (@Chiebuniem_) April 11, 2020
