Actually I love all animals.  I own two cats now, but I may in the future have a Pittie.  I am also wanting a couple of ferrets.

I like dogs, cats are sweet but i'm allergic to them.
Sometimes I meet a dog that i'm allergic to but at least they stay with you to comfort you whilst you itch & sneeze, every cat just make me itch & sneeze & then buggers off leaving me to suffer alone

I used to like cats more until I got a dog, now I just love dogs. They seem more dependent and want to be around you more.

Um, assuming you get a real dog and not a purse toy, they can defend you, play fetch and many more games, and can sniff for treasure! Yeah, I think dogs are better.  :P

I wish my dog would sniff out treasure, all he sniffs are other dogs bums, it's embarrasing but not as bad as when he spends 10 minutes licking another dogs bum....get a room!!

 I love dogs, but I live in a tiny apartment downtown in the city I live in, so I'd rather wait till I get more space to get a dog.
I have a cat who I also love, but its not like having a dog, dogs are fun, they play with you and love you 24/7. My cat is affectionate, but not OVERLY so.

I'm totally a cat person.

I just love the cuddly "kitty love" that you get. One of my cats always just jumps right up into my lap, and slowly climbs up into my chest, and nestles herself in while she's purring, and it's just so unimaginably adorable that it just makes me want to squee!

I love my kitties. (In case it isn't obvious by my selection of tickers in my signature down there... lol.)

I have two mutts from the pound, one female black lab and one male beagle mix, both good protector dogs, very smart, and loving. The beagle is the siren and the black lab is the biting power. I may get a third mutt from the pound as well, a female german sheperd, if they have any, also have one cat. Needless to say the dogs and cats are like palestine and israel to borrow somebody's else phrase :).

P.S., if you get mutts, its always good to get puppies, as they will see you as the one true holy master, well my girlfriend is also commander in chief at times  :P

I used to be much more of a dog person however my ex wife was pure cat person and being around them for so many years really changed my outlook on them. I think a lot of people dislike cats until they are around them 24/7 for a while. Of course there are some cats that are just jerks so i think it varies lol.
Title: Re: Cats or Dogs
Post by: StellaB on June 02, 2013, 03:25:30 PM
I can't have a preference..

How can you have a preference when you've experienced a dog placing their chin on your lap, looking up to you, and patiently waiting for your attention?

Or having a cat lying on you purring and pawing at you as if to sharpen its claws but without unsheathing them?

I grew up with a border collie, a rescue from a farm in Cumbria and spent part of my teenage years walking the Dales with her, especially around Wuthering Heights.

I've also kept cats..

More recently I've become curious about adopting a fox. I'm a night person and I'm sometimes visited in the wee hours by a fox who I leave food out for. This fox has enigmatic eyes, a really soft coat, and seems intelligent.

I'm hesitant because I'm also aware that a fox has sharp teeth capable of shredding furniture and biting, but I wonder whether having a fox gives you a combination of a dog and a cat.

Dogs have masters. Cats have staff :P.

I am proud co-habit of 3 y.o. Maincoon kitteh. He is big, fluffy, loud and has no manners whatsoever. But I know that he is trying to be as gentle as he can when he plays with us, because I have seen what a terrible hunting and killing machine he becomes when he gets carried over in his games... And despite of his size, he is one of the most patient and tolerant beings I have ever met - and having to deal with the advances being made by 2 years old human on a constant basis - that requires a LOT of tolerance.

CATS!

we have three and I love them all, sure their antics can be annoying but they are just so sweet, you don't have to walk them or take them out to relieve themselves, and they don't smell, or get residue on your hands when you pet them.

people who say cats don't care about you must not have met many cats.  Our cats are very loving and are always at the door when we come inside.

i don't hate dogs, I like dogs but I would rather have cats.

They really do care about you just like dogs, one of our cats was cuddling with me non-stop when I wasnt feeling too great after my surgery, and I really think she knew I wasn't feeling well because she normally cuddles with my bf more then me.



Sabrina, Bear, and Dean.

Bear the first night we took him home, WITH a teddy bear, awww.  Bear is "mine" he is my baby and he is very gentle and the most awkward cat I have ever met.

Dean being photogenic and goofy. He is the stupidest of all of our cats, always doing silly things, but he lets us know when he wants to be petted.

Dogs all the way.  I'd love to like cats and have a nice one, but mine is seriously unfriendly, and they're like ungrateful teenagers, they come in, eat the food and then clear off again.  You stroke her at risk of losing blood.  My dog on the other hand is awesome, and a miracle.  Her and my girlfriend are the two people I'm really going to miss when I leave here.  Gonna teach my mum to use skype so I can still see her (the dog that is).

  Now , for about two weeks I got a little cat , yet I don't know , sometime it is such a difficult pet . The kitten being so young and full of life and the apartment being so small doesn't help either .  But we will deal with it , we still get to know each other .  Although sometimes I wish I just took a fish for company . :-\

Really it's both for me, it depends mostly on the temperament of the animal itself.
I enjoy calm dogs who like to play and sweet, lovey cats who like to snuggle.

So I suppose it's all relative XD.

Post by: jamboe89 on July 31, 2014, 06:43:02 PM
I've only ever had a cat, when I'm out walking I encounter many dogs and cats though, there's a black cat two doors down and I think we have struck up quite a friendship. Oh and there's a dog next door, I don't think one day goes by without me hearing it bark in their garden (though it's not annoying), seems nice though when I walk by his gate.

So I'd say I like them both in their own ways, they're quite different, cats are quieter generally I think, more independent certainly, and I'm quite quiet, and couple that with the fact I spent age 5-21 years old in the company of a cat daily, at a push I'd say 'cats'. :) (I guess my development into an adult must have been somewhat moulded with having a cat in the house.)
Title: Re: Cats or Dogs
Post by: FTMKyle on August 13, 2014, 07:27:38 PM
Uuuuuuuum. I was raised around cats. So I would have to go with cats. Especially Siamese. The siamese I have now is awesome. He bites my toes when he's hungry. He knocks stuff off book shelves and desks when he wants attention. He runs around like a Nascar driver and tries to assassinate me by trying to trip me up. He unrolls the toilette paper into the trash can. He runs under the stairs outside so I will chase after him (he always comes right to me). He starts "talking" at weird hours in the night.

I know I am not doing a very good job of convincing anyone to own a siamese cat, but he truly amuses me, and he cheers me up when I am down.

When I had my top surgery, he did not leave my side for a week. He even did this weird thing where he got on the back of the couch, pressed his face against the couch with his butt up in the air, and stared at me with his big blue eyes. I'm not really sure what to make of that. Was he propositioning me?

It may sound weird, but it depends on the animal itself and how well we connect. I think I may lean a bit more toward dogs, however only specific breeds like Sibes and GSDs (I'm not a fan of small dogs...). Otherwise more toward cats.

Dogs are great loyal pets, but I'd rather have the selfish cat because they're so dang cute!!!

I just realized how differently humans treat cats and dogs... I realize they're two different species but there has to be a way for us to treat them both a little more equally.
