Talking about pets, which do you prefer, cats or dogs?

I’m a dog person over a cat person, and part of that could very well be that I didn’t have any close relatives with cats, just dogs. And, one lady’s house I went into as a kid smelled so much like a litter box I just assumed all people who had cats lived somewhere that smelled that way. Of course, I realized that wasn’t true a little later. But over the years, I have developed an affection for cats, even though I fear I may be allergic. If I am, I’d like to have a Sphinx cat. I think I’m allergic because when I visited my neighbor who had a cat my eyes watered and I broke out in a rash. That’s the first time that happened.

I've had both most of my adult life and honestly it's cats that require the most care, that litter they need is so blasted expensive. As for my pups, the only requirements they needed were collars and leashes Of course yearly vaccines are always necessary for both.

I like them both too, but I am more into cats.

I'm allergic to furbabies but, before I started having allergic reactions to them, I preferred cats... as long as they lived outside. We had dogs and cats on the farm and I enjoyed them but I don't want to clean kitty litter or take a dog for a walk all the time. That's the reason I have fish... They wait patiently in their tank for me to wake up, turn their light on and feed them.

I've always had cats until the past few years and now we have a dog. I think I like them both equally but dogs do require more attention, etc than cats do.

It depends. Years ago a person I knew told me that I was the first person she had met who had cats who came when called. Apparently she assumed that cats don't know their names?? I lived with a cat who had not been socialized when she was a kitten. Just like a human baby, that cat was a mental case and us humans suffered for living with her. I like dogs because they are dogs and I like cats because they are cats. The other day my hubby turned to me and said, " You know, we live with five highly intelligent animals." I agreed with him but it made me think.

When ait comes to taking care cats are easy to handle as they are iandependent but not so with dogs Dogs are loyal and more loving.

I have been a cat person all my life, Now after my last two cats passed I feel to silence but now I am thinking of parrot, I will see how it goes,

Growing up on a farm we never had to worry about litter boxes which puts me off pets in general. And we're away quite a lot too so we've decided we won't be having a cat or a dog. We did love the various cats we had.

I like dogs better since they are friendlier than cats.

I like cats because they are affectionate. I lashed out and feel unsafe with a dog.

I love all animals but if I have to choose I choose CATS!

I like cat. Because I think cats are regarded as "the quintessential pet" and are ritually pure and blessed animals.
