Lets see I know that I like cats because their so cute and furry. Also they make cute meow sounds and they keep you company too. Cats are also very relaxing they help to relieve my stress especially kittens. When their small they are so playful. Anyway I love how cats just love to sit on people's laps and you get to pet them. Cats and Dogs are really different from each other for example dogs are more active then cats. They take commands easy. I think that dogs are also great because they can guard you and you feel safe. Still I am scared of big dogs because I have had bad experiences with big dogs. They have attacked me before and that's why I am so scared of them. If I were to get a dog it would probably have to be a small dog. Dogs can smell fear this is very true. If you show that you are scared of them then they will attack. Anyway do you like cats and what do you like about them? Or would you rather have a dog and what do you like about Dogs?

I love both cats and dogs. There are different advantages and disadvantages of having these pets. In our household we are having about 14 cats. They range from bigger and older cats to small kittens. The small kittens are very cute but then they getting bigger they are not so cute anymore. The advantage of having cats around is that they can catch rat and mice. There are no mice and rats in our house due to the precence of these cats. The disadvantage sometimes is that they are getting lazy and don't want to go outside the house. They are loosing some of their fur. These fur are on the furniture and on the mats and making it difficult to clean. Dogs on the other hand are very useful to a household. We are having 8 dogs in our household. 4 Are big dogs and 4 are smaller dogs. The bigger dogs are serving the household as watchdogs. Since we have big dogs around us there has never been any burgaries. This is for 14 years ongoing. The smaller dogs are living in the house mostly. They are like the cats also loosing their fur and it is making it difficult to clean the house. However the disadvantages are far less than the advantages that these pets are giving.

Yeah, that's the one thing I don't like about cats is the hair getting on the couch and in other places. Plus, when you smell something, you have to almost tear the house up to see where the cat has done its business. Back in the sixties when we had cats, there was no such thing as kitty litter.

I have two cats now and I'm a cat person. Cats by nature aren't as attention-seaking. As long as they have food water and a little love from you every now and again they are perfectly happy. Just listening to my cats purr when I pet them is a blessing in itself in my opinion. I love the feel of the purring its a soothing to me. Especially when Precious does it.

I kmow what you mean cats also relax me. I think it's so cute when they purr. Still I had to give my cat away because my dad was allergic to it. I miss my cat,but my dad's health is more important to me.

I like both. I love dogs for great companion for long walk, curling, talking and playing. I like cats for curling, playing and relaxing mood. Cats and dogs are funny if you know how to play with them.

I like both cats and dogs. We have one cat now she is an outside cat. She loves to come right up to me when I go out, and tell me how much she loves me. Some times she will follow me to the back of our property and hunt rodents on the way. She will wait where I am then follow me back when I get ready to leave. We have an indide dog that every time he sees me will bark continuously until I pet him. He is about 11 now. He used to want to go out with me and play frisbee, but now I believe he has arthritis in his legs and can not run too well. He only runs about for less than a couple of minutes at a time now. We all love each other and get along well together.

I like looking at cats because they are furry and cute. But with the exemption of some black cats. I find them creepy. I have dogs. I like them because they're very playful and they guard our house when were away. But at the same time I fear other peoples dogs because they might bite me.

I really don't like cats because they tend to scratch their owners and they have this moody attitude.lol. I love dogs because i think they are sweet,loyal and are indeed great stress-relievers. They really protect their master and they are very loving.

I don't really prefer either one. I'm pretty much an animal lover so I like them both. I think they both have their good and bad points. Cats can sometimes be more affectionate but dogs train better. I actually would like to have both. At one point we had both and it was great. We were talking about getting a pet and were leaning towards starting out with two kittens. But it turned out that people in town had lab puppies. One was yellow and I've always wanted a yellow lab so we jumped at the chance to have one. Once he is grown and calms down some we might get a kitten to go with it.

I love my cats, because they are humorous, curious and so sweet. I love that cats purr and just meow and jump up to curl up in your lap. I love dogs too because they are so smart and have their own sense of humor as well. I see animals as family members and I love them like they are human.

I like both animals the cats and the dogs. They both special to me, cats helps minimize rats in our house, and dogs is a good guard specially when we leave our house or guarding it at night time. Usually cats and dogs quarrel with each other so the cats usually stays indoor and the dogs is outside. Sometimes, we prefer to put the dog in the cage, that's the time when cats can stay or play outdoors.

I prefer a dog over a cat any day. Not that I dislike Cats, but they are way too SNEAKY! Dogs you know where it's about just about any time. If the dog not out in the back, then it's in the house. Cats can be anywhere! Under your bed, in your dirty hamper, under your car, etc. I will say that cats are more discipline than dogs and won't have to worry about them as much if they get lose. Other than that though, give me a dog 9 times out of 10!

I think you should have both of them since dogs and cats somehow get along, but when your at outsider person you should have dogs because you can take them with you when you go to the beach or have a walk at the park, but if somewhat prefer to stay home you then should go and get yourself kittens or cats as they are fun to play with and to cuddle. :D
