Cats. I feel very strongly about this.

    I’m an auncle to two beautiful children. I like dogs the same way I like my niece and nephew: I want to spoil them and play with them and give them back to their families at the end of the day!

    I’m definitely more of a cat person, although even my current cat is a little demanding for me. She meows and meows anytime she’s not out on a leash.

    This is a tricky question for me. I have a dog but I resisted it and it was mainly my wife. On the surface dog totally. They are awesome. But that is if you disregard the cost and work involved. Dogs are like sportscars or trucks or suvs. More fun but more expensive. Cats are like a nice fuel efficient car. They get ya what you need and don’t cost to much and if you find one you like its really great. If I am young and healthy and my financials are good enough and stable enough to pay some heavy bet bills if needed, then give me a big ole golden retriever all the way. Might even try a newfie. Getting older and heading to retirement and not sure if I will have enough to keep my wife and I housed. Well no pet given that last part but if the finances are not so dire then cat.

    Both for me. I love my cats, but I also love the big golden labrador that my neighbour has. He’s a lovely boy.

    I prefer cats. Dogs are too obsessive and intrusive.

    I too much prefer cats. But most cats I interact with are drawn to me, and cats I’ve owned act kinda like dogs. I’ve been called the cat whisperer many times. I like dogs too, but cats are kinda magical to me

    I’m catsitting at the moment. Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of cleaning a trail of blood, listening to the deathscream of a mouse, to then listen to the cracking of bones as the cat ate the whole carcass.
