I am definitely a cat person. We have a dog, and I like him, but our kitties are my babies. If dogs didn’t smell like dogs I might be closer to being 50/50, but that special doggie aroma makes me feel kind of ill.
I just brought home a new kitty today, (so now we have 4) her name is Mouse.
Definitely both. I get more snuggles from the dogs though, simply because they generally get jealous if the cats try to sit on my lap and they push the cats off and take their place. Here’s ours:
@MommyWoman haha I’d never actually noticed that. Badger (the puppy on the left) was much darker as a tiny puppy and will likely lighten even more once his adult coat comes in. When he was little, he actually looked a lot like Torben did as a puppy. Badger is only 19 weeks right now and still has A LOT of growing to do.
@Bandrik I take it you don’t have a eight-month-old kitten who loves to play in, and roll around in, the covered litter box, huh? Maybe I’m the only one who has that model of cat.
@Bandrik I have never had to throw out an expensive piece of furniture due to dog piss. I had a jealous male cat that marked everything ever touched by a male. The sofa. The dog beds. The mail. The fucking groceries. There is no getting that stink out. I had to throw so much stuff away. After him I resolved no more male cats. After sweet and perfect Jasmine passed I decided no more cats, at least for now. It’s nice not to have a stinky litterbox to clean. Using a long handled rake and dustpan to clean up after the dogs is much preferable to handling a litterbox to me.
@Bandrik@moondrake We had a male cat who couldn’t stop marking in the house too. We finally relented and let him move outside. Now we have a female inside the house and she’s quite content keeping her business in the designated box.
@moondrake@tnhillbillygal Yeahhhh I currently have two cats. One is a male that sprays/marks in the house. Couldn’t shake him of it, so now he wears special pants that we line with disposable maxi pads to absorb all the piss, but with a “butt slot” that still lets him poop just fine.
He’s totally cool with the pants, and even pauses when we let him in (he’s an indoor/outdoor cat) to put his pants on. Great cat overall, we just had to find a way to deal with his derp.
@hchavers my wondrous Calico, Schrödinger, greeters me enthusiastically when I come home! She’s not nearly as fond of my partner, though, and could give a crap if he’s around. Unless it’s dinner-time, then she’s thrilled to see him, but she comes to tell me first that it’s time to eat and would I please let Daddy know? This cat reads any clock around!
@spitfire6006006 My dogs love the mailman and FedEx guy. I give them treats for the dogs a couple of times and after that they like all delivery people.
I’ve had cats all my life and I love them. I currently have a dachshund thanks to my boyfriend and I have to say, I’ve never laughed as much at an animal as I have since meeting her. Cats are fun and great, but dogs are ridiculous.
I’ve loved cats all of my life and they all oddly seem to enjoy me, too. A new BF and I were sitting in his car in the driveway of my residence, after work, chatting (he was also one of the managers where I worked). We had each partially opened the windows for fresh air when suddenly, a lovely Persian-type feline leapt into the window, sniffed the entire inside of the vehicle, curled up and made itself quite comfy on my lap. This repeated itself until I was covered with eight, different, wonderful kittehs that I’d never known were in the neighbourhood! The new BF was rather taken aback by the whole process and looked at me funny for quite some time after that, to the point of quite seriously asking if I was a practicing Bruja! He had to explain that word to me as I was a young white chick from New England, who’d recently relocated to SoCal and knew very little about Hispanic culture.
Anyway, I’m a devoted ailurophile and they are apparently Momma-philes!
while i don’t hate cats, and there are some cats i’m crazy about, and i do love my godcats, and i would and have cared for them in an emergency, i would never actually want to own one. just not my thing. i’m usually indifferent or i feel like peter griffin -
I have too many. There is a detailed thread somewhere showing them all…

What a cutie! Mouse is adorable.
@Pony
That is one beautiful cat you have there. I can almost hear her purring.
@Bandrik Thank you! She’s a total sweetie.
@TheFLP Thanks! She has a sweet little purr, and she’s not afraid to use it.
@Pony She’s pretty!
I like both but prefer dogs.
@melonscoop Catbeard!
I might like certain kinds
of dog better, but dogs vary too much. Cats can always be relied upon to be cats.
And the weirder part of me really wants a goat.
Definitely both. I get more snuggles from the dogs though, simply because they generally get jealous if the cats try to sit on my lap and they push the cats off and take their place. Here’s ours:
@PurplePawprints they’re all so cute!!
@PurplePawprints Whoa, they’re rather mirror-images of each other, or just very well colour coordinated! Well done, you!
@moonhat Thank you!

I love all animals. But dogs most of all.
I like some dogs, but I like most cats.
Why I prefer cats:

@Bandrik @PurplePawprints Yeah… that’s actually odd for a cat.

@Bandrik This one suggests otherwise.

Dogs, definitely. I want someone that is happy to see me when I get home, glad to return the stick, and are so easily entertained by their own tail.

Dog person who likes catshirts.
I mean, I already didn’t like dogs before driving for fedex.
@spitfire6006006 My dogs love the mailman and FedEx guy. I give them treats for the dogs a couple of times and after that they like all delivery people.
Just noting that no one ever says, “There’s more than one way to skin a dog.”
@txag96 But it is a dog eat dog world.

I am a c̶a̶t̶b̶o̶y̶ Ahem… Cat person.
@JoetatoChip you sure you’re not a Cat Man?
(This just randomly popped into my head and I went searching to see if it existed. The internet did not disappoint.)
Skunk! I had pet skunks as a kid. Absolutely loved them!
I’ve had cats all my life and I love them. I currently have a dachshund thanks to my boyfriend and I have to say, I’ve never laughed as much at an animal as I have since meeting her. Cats are fun and great, but dogs are ridiculous.
@Fuzzalini That’s part of their charm. They are hilarious clowns who will defend you from all dangers, real and imagined.

I believe there can never be too many cat shirts!
