I've heard it said that you are either a cat person or a dog person, which do you prefer? I prefer dogs, but that's only because I'm allergic to cats. I still tried to have a cat last year though...didn't work very well.

I have been a cat person all my life. I'm not sure why...it's not as though we had any pets in the house when I was growing up (my parents didn't want any). But I have always been cat-crazy. I had posters of them in my room and I would sometimes even bring the neighbours' cats home to play with them. The cats didn't like it very much, though... I have nothing against dogs, but I don't believe I have the patience required to be a good dog owner. Cats are much better suited to my personality. I have one at home right now. Sadly, two of my sweet kitties have passed away. I believe I will always need a cat in my house to make it feel like home.

I actually like them both but I would rather have a cat as a pet which I have two of because they are so independent you don't have to let a cat outside at 3 am to go to the bathroom in the middle of a snowstorm and then wipe their feet off when they come in but don't get me wrong I do like puppies too.

I always thought I liked dogs better than cats....but maybe I was wrong. Don't get me wrong....My dog is my baby, but now I have 16 cats and I really like them too! Do you need any kittens? lol

I'm a cat person through and through. Dogs are loud; they jump on you; you have to walk them in the snow and rain; they are demanding. Cats curl up in your lap and purr. They eat, sleep and purr. They have soft fur and don't beat you with their tails. Cats rule.

I have always heard that you are either a dog person or a cat person but I do not think that is always the case,because I personally have to say that I am both a cat person and a dog person because I love both cats and dogs,dogs are loyal and mans best friend,and they are always protective over their owners,and they make good companions,while at the same time cats,keep mice and other vermon away from the home and they also make good companions.
