Are you more of a cat or dog person?

Definitely a cat person. If we had the space and money I'd have about 20

That's okay, I really don't care for dogs, but I usually don't tell people because they think you are a horrible person if you don't like dogs.



And if you really want to gross me out, just let your dog lick your face....

Dog person. Violently allergic to cats.

I love dogs, but I'm definitely a cat person.

No desire to own a dog, but we have 3 cats & I would've loved to have a 4th. But now that Xander is diabetic, we have our hands full. I just can't resist those sweet little kitty faces & the fuzzy little tummies. 

I was strictly a dog person for many years. The only cats I'd known were the kind who scratch, bite and hide.  

But 10 years ago my dad died, leaving behind a 15-year old cat. I didn't have the heart to put him in a shelter, so we took him in. (Fortunately, my husband likes cats.). I had to learn everything from scratch because it's so different from a dog-how to pet them, what they eat, what their tail movements mean. Hell, I even had to learn how to clean a litter box, because the first time I dumped the scooped poop in the toilet. 

Well, I fell in love with that old fellow. He stole my heart and lived another five years with us. Toward the end he got senile and would cry from the other room, and I'd go get him and hold him. I cried so much when he finally passed over. 

These days I have a new cat along with my dog. I've become a cat and a dog person. 

depends on the dog, depends on the cat.  

i dislike cats that have an attitude, bite, hate their owners, etc.  i dislike dogs that are too "exuberant".  

so it's all about the individual personality for me.  

Most definitely a dog person.

Dog person all the way.  

I like both and I have had both, but I am most definitely a dog person.

You are my kind of cat owner. Unfortunately my neighbors are not. I have spoken to them, have taken it up with the managing agents of both complexes. No help. I am here quite a bit, they are not, which is no doubt part of the problem. 

The family of the worst offender, the grey one, believe I should keep my doors and windows closed to keep their pet out   , summer and winter. I appreciate how unpleasant it is to have a dog jump on you when you visit someone, as a dog lover I am not crazy about that either. However, having the local cats choose me as their companion and my home as their hangout is really not the same as me visiting their home. Anyway  I wish all cat people were like you.

Yeah, those are shitty neighbors. Have you tried any cat repellents? I know I've read they don't like certain scents. I think citrus is one. If they are coming in your windows try spraying with lemon or orange essential oils. I'm sure there are some other non harmful ways as well.

I prefer cats because:

1) I don't have to walk a cat in rain, sleet, snow and cold
2) I don't have to wash their paws every time they come in the house
3) I don't have to hose them down after they roll around in the mulch
4) they have just as much personality and uniqueness as a dog
5) they wash themselves
6) I only have to scoop a litter box, not pick up poo from my yard every week
7) they don't bark at all hours of the day and night to annoy neighbors
8) they don't scare runners and walkers by charging an invisible fence

Yes, what REALLY amazes me is at the dog training center where we go (which is awesomoe), other dog owners say it's okay for their dog or my dog to jump on them. No it's not. Ever! It's an all or nothing deal. You can't say it's okay to jump on person A but not on person B. They either can jump or not jump. I hated when I was training my boys and they would jump and people would say "It's okay. Our dogs to it too." No, I am training them. I would even ask that they not pet or touch my dogs if they were not sitting. Other dog owners had no problem with it. Our trainer gets frustrated with some of the owners too.

And our vet said that he had a dog come in one time and the owner was complaining that the dog kept growling. Then the husband walks in, hugs his dog, and begins growling at him. My vet said, now we know why the dog thinks it's okay! Ugh!!! A lot of times it's not the dog, it's the owner.
