A dog or cat ?

You should never surprise someone with an animal

I like cats more than dogs. I love cats. But it depends on you what you like

I would choose a cat, because I prefer cats, but I would never offer an animal to someone before asking. Are you sure she want an animal?

I will always take a cat over dirty dogs.

First of all, welcome to mylot! I chose dog. Because I love dogs more than cats. But it depends on your wife on which she preferred to have.

It depends on what she likes. You must be knowing by now. You should also consider if you both are emotionally and financially ready to take care of a pet. Both are beautiful pets. Personally i would prefer a dog as i feel dogs express love more and are loyal. Cats are less expressive comparatively. Thats what i feel.

I have had both a dog and cats. I like cats over dogs. Cats take care of themselves.

Unfortunately I cannota dvise since I do not like pets

You have to make sure first that your wife love animals or does she want to have a pet? Its a responsibility. I hope you really think about the idea of gifting a pet. My pets are cats. Always has been since I was a kid.

I'm just a dog person over a cat, because I like cats from afar, but I wouldn't want one.

Life is always like this, when you want a dog, he gives you a cat. So, ask her directly.

Please also take into consideration... can she afford to take care of one? Will she be home enough so it isn’t left alone, will she have time to walk it (if a dog).

Dog all the way. I love them so much. I’ve never had a cat but I don’t dislike them, just prefer dogs.
