I personally prefer dogs over cats. I have three different breeds of dogs. Which one do you prefer?

I never like cats. They gave us a feeling that they are sneaky and evil. I don't like their eyes during the day. It just give me the feeling that it is something evil. I know this is nature but still, it gave me the feeling. Secondly, I don't like the way they walk. Look so sneaky.

I am a cat person. I feeling vulnerable when I see a cat's fluffy paws and face. I am also addicted to the way a cat walks, grooms, and 'talks'.

I luv dogs. I train them professionaly mostly the working class. I have several Bouviers. 2 have pass away, however I have 1 of their puppies from a litter that they had. I presently have a Bouvier and a Standard Poodle. It really doesn't matter what pet u want , or like, as long as u have the time to care for them..

I have a friend dog. Her name is Lola. I don´t like the word pet when I call Lola: it sounds patronizing and she has her own personality. I feel dogs are domestic and can be real friends to men. Cats, on the other hand, are still wild. They will go where it suits them best and I don´t blame them. But a real relation (even between human and animals) means that we have to be responsible for the other. Dogs do that while cats are not capable of doing that with us. So, for me, cats are ok to see at someone else´s home as long as they don´t get in my lap. My Lola, even if she is not an adult yet, knows every inflection of my voice and can play rough games with my youngest grandson without hurting him at all (She is a German Shepherd). Must I say more? Hurray for dogs!!!

I'm torn. With a cat, you can leave for the day or for a day or two and as long as you stock them up on food, water and clean litterboxes, they will be just fine. With the dogs, we have to find friends to watch them if we try to go away, even if it's only overnight (our dogs and cats both live indoors).

I definitely prefer dogs! We have three dogs and two cats. Dogs are more friends than cats are and they are a lot more fun as you can do more with them. Mine two little dogs go everywhere with me and I love it! They are my babies! :)

I prefer dogs too. I grew up with dogs so I think that is why. They also seem more loyal and easier to train.

I prefer both coz i have both dogs and cats. I grew up having cats as my pets. I just seldom have dogs all through my life but since i had my dogs they are the most precious beings in my life.

I also prefer dogs to cats.but I have no right to raise a dog because my family all did't agree with. dogs are raised more than cats are and dogs are very honester than cats ,even dogs can protect your family and youself at all time . one word ,I love dogs .

i like both cats and dogs, i think they are both pretty good pets. But i only keep dogs in the house. We have 4 dogs and all of them are lovely. If i'd get the chance to own a persian cat i would love to have my own pet as well because i see them as sweet pets.
