are you a cat person? or a dog person?

must pick one.

Prefer their personalities, and I'm horribly allergic to cats.

Nope.

Can't pick one!

Love them both!

Probably love cats a little more, though....

But my beloved and long-dead Dalmation was my third daughter...:cry:

not even close

in fact, I like pretty near every living thing on earth that's not a cat better than cats

don't know why

but I love dogs better than people

I had THE BEST DOG growing up, and no dog can top her for me. Loves me the kittehs.

Though I do confess a great love of dogs too.

right now, it's all cats, all the time, with 7 of the little furry f*ckers running around the house, chasing a catnip mousie. I adore my cats.

But, as they make their way to the great beyond and there are fewer of them (provided we haven't picked more up along the way - they're all strays), we might get a doggie.

Had both growing up. Won't choose, and you can't make me! Neener neener neener! :P :hi:

...I'm a cat person.

however, he growls when strangers come to the door (since the dog died) and sits on command (well, sometimes, but he is a cat).

Rascal won't even let me sit in his stinky old chair!

They look just like my Maverick and Polo!!!
Take a look!

It's like I'm seeing double! The resemblance is amazing, all the way down to the plaid fabric that they're laying on!

:wow:

100%

or this guy?

While I do like cats generally speaking I just don't get the emotional attachment to them as I do with a dog. Cats are just too independent for my taste.

I could never get a dog bathe itself, or crap in a box when I was away.

I like dogs but I just haven't had one since I was in jr high.

cats range in age from 21yrs to 2 1/2yrs
oldest to youngest: snowshoe, calico, grey/white tiger, grey tuxedo, tortise-shell

3 dogs - two greyhounds ages 7&5, 1 pointer/hound mix puppy 17 weeks old

Kittens are adorable, but then they grow up into adult cats.

:hug:

There are only dog people, and cat slaves.

Cats are just easier to take care of. Nothing more annoying than a dog that won't poop. If you have to go away for a weekend you are probably good with an automatic feeder, lots of water and a clean litter box for a cat. For a dog, you have to make accommodations. Plus, cats are more quietly affectionate than dogs, which are more hyper affectionate.

But I like dogs a lot, too, even the nutty one I have now. It's just more stress taking care of a dog than a cat, if you ask me.

My wife is allergic to cat hair, so unfortunatly I can't have one.

But I really prefer my dog (don't tell my puddycat!)

Positive Negative

Dog Smarter Has to be walked
Friendlier Needs a bath occasionally
More understanding



Cat Catches mice Nags me for breakfast
Purrrrrrrs Hairballs

:shrug:

Cat person obviously...I was outvoted 2 kitties to one human on that...:)

:evilgrin:

I'm a cat person for the record, but dogs are fun too.

Although I suppose it's possible that one of my parents was actually an alien... hmm...

never been able to pick one over the other. I have one of each right now and they both occupy a special place in my heart for very different reasons.

I love my cat, but I just don't get as annoyed with dogs and they seem more....people-oriented if that's the right word.

I have 3.

But I love dogs too. I just don't own any. Or, I should say...I'm not owned by any. ;)

I've got four of each. How the heck could I choose?

They can have a stillness about them that I find enormously appealing. Plus, they purr! I love that. :)

Cats are soft and beautiful and they purr and they're cuddly and funny and sweet and just the right size.

I hope all dogs have homes and are well cared for, but, to me, dogs are too barky and stinky and greasy and seem to be always panting their hot stinky breath on you and jumping up and running at you full speed off leash in a park. Plus a dog bit my son the other day for no reason. The dog was on a leash and just went up to my son (who wasn't even looking at the dog -- he is very respectful to animals and never provokes them) and gave him a chomp on the calf, breaking the skin and drawing blood.

Right now I have 2 older cats and a 3 year old dog. Tonight I am bringing home the newest member of our family - an 8 week old golden lab. So the dogs and cats will be even. I love them both, but for different reasons.


My newest puppy - It was love at first sight!

Now I want one too..... :cry:

I would love to give him/her a big hug!

I don't grasp the concept of "cat person" and "dog person". Now if you'd asked if I was a cat person or an iguana person, that would be a no-brainer.

It's impossible to choose between them -- it's like Sophie's choice.

Nice post, Hitler. :hide:

They're more self-sufficient which comes in handy for a single man, living alone.

That's why I consider myself the crazy cat lady. ;)

Alas, I've been trapped in a series of no-pets hellholes for several years now. I only even know one other person who has cats.

We do have a large population of feral cats here. Some stores, especially in Chinatown, have them inside, too. So I can occasionally get a brief cat fix on the road and not drive myself completely insane. :banghead:

one of me loves dogs, I have two

the other me loves cats, I have three

:P

I'm not averse to either. But if I had to pick, I'd take the warm companionship of a dog. I don't think I could live without a dog.

I like dogs well enough--some are positively amusing--but I think I prefer OTHER people's dogs.

Have a Labradoodle (Freckles). Had a Golden Retriever until she passed away this past May.

:) A corgi person, actually, but then corgis aren't just "dogs"!

:bounce:

I love them both. Dogs are better when you're outdoors, and cats are better when you're indoors. But, I can have a deeper relationship with a cat it seems. With a cat, you're equal, and a cat will look you in the eye. With a dog, there seems to be master/slave dynamic, and dogs won't look you in the eye unless they're trying to challenge your authority. That makes it harder to get close. They also seem more primitive, somehow. I think it's that their tongues are hanging out the side of their mouths so much. If Al Gore walked around like that I'd think he was an idiot.

But like I said, I still dig 'em to pieces.

I'll pick one, and the other.

I admit I'm kinda new to cats, but they are sooo cute.

:loveya:

I love them both too much.

And there just ain't nothing on earth that's as beautiful as a cat.

I am amazed and thankful every day that they use their little bathrooms, I think it's great how they learned to live with us, and most of them love using the box and never mess up. It's incredible.

or drink a steel girder.

Cats are so freaking amazing - I could watch them for hours and days. Beautiful and graceful in movement, beautiful in form, lithe and dextrous, aloof and self-controlled, love to play, efficient incredible killing machines... cats exemplify every quality that is worthy of praise in this universe.

Plus, they don't drool, they don't attack, they don't stink up the house, they don't smell everyone's crotches, they don't paw all over strangers or their humans, or do any of the other 8 million disgusting things that dogs do.

Dogs are boors in every sense of the word.

If we think back to the 1800s, cats share the best qualities of the highest level of refined aristocracy, and dogs share all the sub-literate behavior of the Irish mine/wharf/potato workers.

You are so right on. They are mini wild animals who adapted to live with us. My husband never lived with cats until we lived together and now he loves them, he was just saying yesterday how they rock for being so independent and smart.

We're gonna look for a beagle-type dog someday at the pound. It'll be a big change for us though so we're waiting, at least until Tonka's not with us anymore.

I like animals. I love dogs, but I am not well adapted to life with a dog. We have a dog in the house currently,

Bobbycobain:

with his favorite toy:

with HIS kitty, Doja, whom he loved. (Doja had to be put down. long sad tale, unrelated to Bobbycobain)


and he is silly, fun, cute, well behaved for a youngish dog and my daughter's baby. I will be happy when he is gone and my boys have the run of the house again. They currently live upstairs where they have run of the area, and they do run! He gets shut in with my daughter when she goes to bed and kitties get to come downstairs for the night which they spend with me then I put them back up when I get up.
