Cats Vs. Dogs: Who Does The Most Damage To Your Home? (Infographics)

Our pets are the most beautiful creatures in the world- we love them, adore them and cannot think of our lives without them. But they can also drive us nuts by pushing out level of patience to new heights every time- they can tear down your sofas, your sheets, your pillows to shreds. Or in other words, They create a mess. The people at Terrys Fabrics have created an infographic that would help us decide who does the most damage to your home - your cat or dog?
