What do you prefer cats or dogs !?

Not to exclude the myriad of other critters people choose to have as companion animals, but it just so happens cats and dogs are the most popular in most societies.As such, more theories abound regarding these particular pets and their people.
It is said, for example, that cat people tend toward an independence of spirit and aloof quality, whereas dog people gravitate toward group activities and exhibit great loyalty. Is it mere coincidence these qualities also manifest in their respective pets? I think no. It would appear, at least to me, that people gravitate as much toward animals that share their own traits as they do other people. Heck, some folks even physically resemble their pets or certain wild animals !
I consider myself much more of cat person,hands down. There's nothing like the soft purrr of a feline to lull one off to sleep at the end of a long, hard day spent posting at the Trap ! While I love dogs, there's a certain coarseness about the drooling creatures that offends my sensibilities. While cats are living works of art, dogs are wrecking balls. Cats are independent nobility ! Cat's curl up in your lap,
dogs sniff your crotch. Cats roll in catnip, dogs roll in excrement.
There. That's my two cents on the subject. How about you? Do you prefer cats or dogs as companions, and why? And do you feel you share some of the personality traits of your cat and or dog?

Hi pachkov!
Our neighbor's cats make me dislike cats because they steal food and just pee and poop anywhere. We have a dog, Max and I always wish Max would bark away at those cats and chase them away with his fangs showing.
But I think, even if the cats I see everyday are so nice and cute, I will still prefer a dog over them. I live dogs because they are so active like there's never a dull moment except of course if they are taking a nap. With cats, I just see cats as lazy. *peace* One thing I also like with my dog is that whenever I go to the nearest store, he accompanies me like a true bodyguard.
But then again, whenever I think of a Himalayan cat, I always wish I can have a cat like it because it's just so cute!!!

I like dogs than cats.Dogs are famous for loyalty since the ancient days of human.For hunting and as guard dogs accompanied with and assisted man throughout the history. A dog is a security for a lone man as well as for a family.It loves all members of the family. How much idioms phrases and stories are there related to dogs! I don't know when cats entered into houses. They are nice to see and touch.That is all!

All of us know that dogs are humans "best" friend ! I am not quite sure of that ! Yes, indeed they are loyal to there boss but they are wild animals ! They don't listen to you all the time, they listen to there instincts ! And for the hunting yes they are really in help, the last time I went hunting with my uncle the dog ate one of the birds we got ! We were really mad at him but you can't blame someone that doesn't know to control his instincts !

I like dogs, but if the cat is good I could get used to it too ! Never mind, I wont get neither of them in my house ! They are animals and it is hard to teach them to go in the appropriate place to pee ! It could be easy but I find it difficult, therefor I don't have any animals in my house :D !
