I still say dogs rule: with compassion, loyalty and love! 
Edited to add: I did love the video, nonetheless!
I have had three different cats who had never met each other who would come and wake me up if a) someone they didn't know came into the yard or was approaching the door; b) would watch my back while out in the yard and alert if someone looked like they were coming near the yard; c) would chase dogs other than their/our friendly neighbor's dogs out of the yard; d) wake me up if something wasn't right in the house or the yard.
One cat even woke me up when a water line out in the yard burst and was spraying water all over the place. Much like dogs, they learn what you show them. If you spend time with your cats like you would with a dog, they will also act as protectors. I would trust any of my cats to alert me if the house was on fire.
Maybe you just like dogs better.
The video was funny!
was born wild and would guard me in the yard and would come over and stand next to me nd wrap her tail around my ankle to let me know that I should pay attention. If I was sleeping and someone entered the gate, she would come inside and stand one me and growl while looking out the window. I called her my guard dog dressed up in a kitty costume, she was way more like a dog than a cat and her best friends were my friends' dogs, she didn't like most other cats except my friends' cats. And she played with all the squirrels in our trees, they taught her to run at lightning speed up a tree and along the top rail of a hurricane fence. when one of the squirrels died, she would come and tell me so I could go out and bury them.
She was awesome, and I really miss her.
they are 65 lb bullies in a 200 lb world
