Cats stink worse than dogs. I can walk into a home and tell immediately if a cat has been in it. I have both. The cats are outdoors only. The dog gets to come in when we are at home, otherwise, he has a job to do.
Train a cat to shake hands, roll over, play dead, fetch a ball or stick, or herd cattle and then we can discuss which is better. The only thing that I have been able to do with a cat is train maybe three out of ten to come when called. Otherwise, they just eat, sleep, sharpen their claws on anything that suits their fancy. If you don't feed them much, they may actually kill some mice and birds.
I’ve had black labs and watching bird dogs work is truly magical, however for general household duties cats are the way to go. I have two indoor cats and they have an automatic feeder and water trough. I can leave for 3 days and come back home and everything is fine. Try locking up two dogs in your house for three days and see what you come back to.
If you want a box of sheet in you house, get a cat.
You put that box just outside the doggy door. Next week, put at the edge of backyard. Next week, remove it altogether and the cat will never go in your house again and no more box.
