would you like to have cats or dogs as a pet??

i would definatly have to want a dog, i am not a big anaimal lover, yet ofcourse i would never do anything to harm them or treat them badly, but i personally hate cats for some reason, i have never known why but dogs have always been my perfered animal guess they are easier to earn your trust. cheers Plunt

i never like a dog and couldn't think to have them as a pet in my house. I love cats very much. They are so sweet and soft. We have one indoor cat, she is persian + siames. So cute and soft. My niece gives her bathe every 2 weeks. I just can't get close to a dog. I am afraid of dog and i don't like them when the saliva comes out from their mouth and their tongue keep out of their mouth.

Well right now I have cats and a dog in the house. Over all though I think in the future it will just be cats. This is mostly due to health reasons and not being able to give the dog the activity they deserve. Doing a lot of walking isn't possible anymore. Thankfully she's on the older side as well so it's not a problem for her but if we got a new dog it would be. Cats are far more independant and do not need the attention that dogs do on a normal basis, at least that is my experience.

I know some cats that can leave a pretty good bite too, don't let them fool you. We took in a hurricane survivor kitty, we named him Binky, he was cute and sweet, but he'd bite you in a heartbeat, without warning. We figured it was from what he'd been through, he was found at my hubby's work wandering around, and he was declawed and couldn't defend himself. I have both dogs and cats as pets. The cats come in and out as they please. They are less maintenance than the dog, but the dog got to stay in. She was my angel. She ruled the roost, and was friends with the cats too. But in general, cats are easier to handle I'd say.

Sounds like you're being a bit prejudiced to dogs. Cats aren't always cuter or less fierce. We used to have a very territorial cat who would bite and hiss at anyone in our house who wasn't family. But she was a sweet cat, and she was just protecting her home. She's not with us anymore, though. Right now I have an outside dog and an inside cat. I don't know whether I'd be able to choose one or the other, because they both have their pros and cons. Like you said, cats are cleaner and they're a lot easier to take care of. You don't have to bathe them and they never have accidents. But my cat is technically a kitten, so she is a little messy. She knocks things over all the time and flings litter out of her litter box everywhere. But I know a puppy would be just as messy and destructive. However, cats are a lot more stubborn and they never listen. They only do what they want and don't usually obey. But, dogs are usually always eager to play and obey and do whatever their owners want to do with them. Dogs are a lot more loyal and fun. So it's too close and I don't think I would ever be able to choose one or the other. I like both dogs and cats, and I couldn't pick just one of them. They're about equal in their pros and cons! Happy holidays and have a good weekend. ~Taymouse
