Are you a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

This sweet kitty has a bed on my bed. He often sleeps there in his own little bed. He is an affectionate cat and loves to be petted and fussed over. Do you have any cats or do you like cats? Or are you a dog person? I like both.

What are your cats' names and what do they look like? There is another cat here named Figgy.

@CarolDM Okay, sometimes things zing past my brain and I need reminders.

I enjoy all animals, as long as they're friendly. I like cats very much, but my preference is a dog.

I like both. Cats are better in an apartment. They don't need to be walked and they don't make much noise. Dogs are great though.

I was always a cat person until my 20s then around 35 I started to like dogs more. After owning both and how smelly they can be and all the care that goes into them I’m not a cat or dog person. I love my little dog though but I’d pass on getting any more in the future. My husband said our home will never be dog free. His lab is currently in heat and I can’t wait until it’s over.

@akalinus I’m glad you understand and don’t think I’m horrible for how I feel as I know some people think things like that when people hear your not an animal person per day

There comes a point when you are done with pets. I love these cats but when I am living alone, I want to be free to come and go as I please. I am an animal lover but I have reached that point in my life.

So cute and comfy there! I am actually a dog person, though I do like cats (I was allergic to cats growing up, and now my kids are too . . . so we've just never had cats around).

@akalinus Well, we don't right now . . . I grew up with dogs though. The kids seem to be allergic to fur period. So we have parakeets .

@much2say Parakeets are interesting little characters. Sometimes you can teach them to talk. Do yours talk or do tricks?

There is nothing like a dog. They are loyal and a joy to have around. Just a big bundle of love in a fur coat.

I'm a fish person. I'm allergic to animals with fur/hair. Pretty loves cats and dogs but can't have them as long as she lives with me.

@akalinus My walking sharks acted just like puppies. They chased me around the room squeaking at me to pick them up and cuddle with them. They ate out of my hand and loved to be petted.

@DaddyEvil Wow, that is different. Really remarkable actually. Do you have videos of them? Do you still have shark pups?

Is it hard to warm up to a fish or do you just look at each other?

I had both growing up, but I am more of a cat person. My husband and I have three cats.

We had both too and my kids always had animals. Home does not feel complete without a pet but a lot of people can't have them because of where they live or some other reason.

We have both and it would be hard to choose. Cats are so special in their own way, but the dogs are so much fun. Could not give up anything I have on purpose.

@akalinus Gevi is scared by the strong wind today, he meows because he wants that I make the wind stop.

I'm a cat person. A big dog jumped on me when I was little and since then I have been scared of dogs. I have 4 cats. I inherited three cats and I have one cat.

He is spoiled rotten. He probably thinks he is the king.

There is no friend like a dog. You can tell him all your secrets and he will never tell anyone, ever. Sometimes, a dog will kiss your face after you are done telling all. What could be better?

@akalinus I agree with you. I miss my dog very much.
