And why don't you like cats inside your house?

The fur... and the fact that you cant really depend on a cat to save your life one day

If a (short-haired, can't speak on behalf of long-haired ones )cat is let out regularly, the fur that will 'left' inside will be minimal. Cats are very clean animals, even with their fur, you know.
Not wanting to sound morbid or negative  in any way, but for lonely people, having a cat around might prevent them from developing suicidal ideas so in that perspective it's saving their life. I'm not saying you're lonely, but I'm talking in general. Besides that, I think the number of pets saving their master's life is very low, whatever type they may be.

Plus, cats are adorable.

The fact I'm bigger and meaner than you?

I believe the word you're looking for is 'discourage'.
Anyhoo, dogs in the house can cause just as much, if not more 'litter' than cats. And if they're outside, all they can do is bark. PS: your average thief isn't there to kill you, just take whatever posessions (s)he can take in the least possible time. The fact your locks are not easy to pick can make a thief flee to(o?).

I've yet to hear a story in the media where a cat killed a human, a dog on the other hand...

[Louisiana Night]

You haven't heard the ones about the BIG kitties?

101% of the time it's the human´s fault  
(possibly the owner´s too)

Those BIG kitties aren't usually kept as pets at home and anyway, if you go and seek them out in the wild, I consider it your own fault if you get hurt in the process.

You can't expect a young child to know it needs to be careful around dogs. Also, to take of the extra 1%, owners of dogs aren't always aware (although they should be) of the fact young children do things to dogs (and probably LITTLE cats too, but they tend to to run away when they don't like it) adults don't, and thus might cause reactions of the dog that wouldn't occur normally.

It was a good debate while it lasted. And just so you know, I don't have enough debating skills to make my discussion partner change his mind, just as someone else most probably won't have enough debating skills to change my conviction on certain topic too.
