Which Do You Prefer? A Dog Or A Cat?

It's too hard to pick between the two. I love both cats and dogs and would like to have two of each. Right now I only have a cat. I suppose, if I HAD to pick, I'd pick a cat because they take less work and you can have them in a smaller home. Dogs need to be walked and need room to run around. They're more needy as well. But I really do love them both. My dream is to have my mainecoon, another cat, a yellow lab, and a pembroke welsh corgi.:)

Well, I'm definitely a cat person. I love dogs as long as I can give them back, I'm very happy just visiting with them. I have 3 cats at this time and I've had at least one cat in my life since I was 12. Two of them are brother and sister Siamese. They are very friendly and love everybody! They also have TONS of personality and love to play with us. They love cuddles too. The boy, Tinkerbell, takes turns sleeping with myself and my husband every night. when he sleeps with my husband, he HAS to have an arm over him. Our girl, Felice sleeps with us, too. Our third fur kid, Bud is an outdoor boy. He comes and goes all day and well into the night. He is the only cat I've ever known that just won't use a litter box. he likes most people as well and LOVES his family. We NEVER have a mouse problem eith Bud on gaurd. He also likes to sleep with us, usually draped across my hubby's stomach. The cats seem convinced my husband is one of them! i think cats are better companions than dogs are. One never worries about cats being on the furniture or sleeping on the bed. Mine are quite well trained and have good manners-most of the time. They're not destructive at all and are wonderful members of our family. We especially appreciate them when one of is sick, because they will pay extra attention to the sick person, trying to make them fell better!

Both animals are great, but I am more used to cats and can handle them better. They need to be treated differently, for dogs, you have to be the leader of the flock. But cats are great friends when they have to do with friendly people. They are intelligent too and wonderful personalities. My favorites are Norwegian Forrest cats and maybe the ones with folded ears - but I have never met one so far.

I love both, I have both, I have many cats and two dogs, one male and one girl. Cats have the mind of their own, they are sometimes snob and sweet,I always play joke with them when they are snob, I used to hold on to their chins and make them smile with teeth exposed.I started laughing when I am doing that. I also make them talk, like I am opening a their mouth a little and I will talk on the background move their mouth that seems they are talking by themselves. My dogs are sweet and loyal. When I am going out or going to work, it seems they are lonely they even hide my shoes to not let me go out.When I'm back at home they give me a princess welcome. I love animals that appreciate your love and care they give it all back. I love them both.

I prefer to have a dog rather than a cat. I am not a cat hater but when I was young I had asthma and having a cat around would trigger my asthma attack. Though at this point in time, I no longer suffer from asthma, but somehow, I still keep away from cats as much as possible. Due to this, I prefer to have dogs as a pet.

Definitely,it's dog!I love dogs.When I was a kid ,I used to have a dog ,but my father thought it was too noisy,so he kill it with a stick when I'm away.I was so sad that I cryed for a whole night. In my experience,the dog is much more loyal and sentient than cat.Then are cute and like to be with humans,but cat is very high-headed,and it tend to be more disobliging and fickle.A dog will remember its master forever,but cat will forget you in a week. So,I prefer dogs!

I like both also. I had my dog, Petey, for 10 years before he passed away and he was, and still is, my best friend. We now have our cat, Morgana, and she is my babygirl. I've always had a huge soft spot for animals anyways but some I don't see me living with...snakes, mice, things like that. Also Morgana is a good protector too...she will run to the door any time anyone comes to it and when someone comes in, she'll follow them around till they leave.

I prefer cat. They are cute and nice compared to dogs.

Hi there cyrus123! I prefer dogs. I love cats too. But I prefer dogs. We always have had dogs. They are loving and loyal. When I get home tired, all I have to do is play with my dogs and I am fine.

I think both are nice. Cats will always be nice and snuggle up with you late at night and so will a dog. They are both mans best friend but cats are more on there own chillin out kinda thing. Happy Mylotting!

i love both cats and dogs...the only problem i have is in my apartment is that they wont allow us to grow pet animals... but i prefer dogs for cats as they are too friendly and are protective in nature...they share a strong bond when compared to cats..

I like both as well, I grew up a total cat person. When I had children I put a stop to cat loving temporarily because I was afraid for my children's health. I like dogs for much the same reasons you mentions. I hate pet hair though! I would love a pet that didn't shed. AT ALL! And one that doesn't eat much. But, no fish, I have a bad habit of killing fish.

I used to be strictly a dog person. I never HATED cats, I just always preferred dogs. That was until I got my husband a black and white female maine coone cat (who is now 12 lbs, BTW!) for his birthday one year (it is on Halloween). We have two dogs and this cat. I must say, although I still prefer dogs, our cat is as cool as a cat could be. She is super sweet, playful, affectionate, smart, very funny, and pretty much acts more like a dog than a cat. Maybe that's why I like her so much! She really is a great cat, and I'd get another cat again if I could have one like her. She fits into our family perfectly.

I like both, i have a cat and a dog. Cat just comes and sleeps on that spot what hurts, dog comes and places his cold nose in your hand and wants to cheer u up when ur sad. I like both of spiecies.

I am a dog person. I prefer dogs to cats. No special reason, perhaps its because I play with dogs when I was young. Further more, dogs have proven to be man's best friends.

i'm definitely a cat person, as you can see from my avatar. i've always thought i'm a dog person until i got my first cat. i found her lying in the middle of the road motionless. we moved her to the side of the road and went to get some milk for her. when we return twenty minutes later, she was in the exact same position! i brought her home and she has given me immense joy and laughter in the past ten years. i plan to spend the next fifteen to twenty years with her as well. personally, i find cats more loyal in a way than dogs. dogs are affectionate and enjoys petting by anyone 'sanctioned' by their owner. cats are less so and therefore my cats only enjoy being petted by me. anyone else try to pet them and they'll run away.

I prefer dogs. Dogs are moe friendlier and affectionate. They are also good protectors, and more reliant on you.

I love both but lean towards cats. I love their independence and antics. Dogs can be too demanding of you and that is not for me. I have had dogs but they need more attention, like walking, that I do not have time to do.

My cats and dogs couldn't kill a mouse if you put them in a cage together and tranquilized the mouse. Cats are my passion as you probably guessed from my name and avatar. I couldn't live without a cat. I could do without 15, but I need 1 or 2 to survive. Without them I would be empty and depressed. I have one dog. I love her and cherish her. I need a dog as long as I live in a house. She is my warning system that someone is approaching. She is also a wonderful companion.

Up until recently I only liked dogs and hated cats. Dogs are so much friendlier and loveable and all the cats I've came in contact with even ones my parents owned were evil lol. But I was watching a court show and saw this cat called a Pixie bobcat and it looks just like a bobcat and it's HUGE lol and the lady said they were more like dogs than cats in the sense that they can be trained. I don't know if that's true or not but the cat is beautiful and it made me want one.
