There's a reason why they're called man's best friend.

As far as pets go, dogs are too smelly and needy for my preference. Cats are cool and laid back (my wife and I do have two dogs, though. And five cats!).

Dogs are too needy. I have 2 dogs and only one cat (after the other cat had an unfortunate run in with the public transportation system) but I prefer cats.

I'm mildly allergic to both so neither! Also, cats dislike me because they realize that I know that they are evil. :wink:

Wise words. :P

No question - I'm definitely a dog person.

Dogs, for sure! I think that's because of a need to feel needed. Cats are just too darn independant!

I prefer an animal who's way of saying "I love you" doesn't involve a tounge. Plus, cat's don't take up much room. And no one would suspect to be afraid of one either, so they can also be a sort of "secret weapon"!
Getting them to do your bidding is the tricky part, but I think I know a way: tuna.

DaveC - Strange, that's exactly the reason why I prefer cats over dogs. :P

Dogs. Cats steal your breath when you sleep.

I prefer neither. Animals don't belong to humans, they belong to the wild.

Most domesticated animals are unable to survive in the wild, and even if they could, they are happier when they are around people who love them and spoil them anyway. Animals and humans can learn an awful lot from each other. That's certainly true for my family!

Myself, I'm a dog person. This is me and my dog Zoey.


My dad likes his cat, Sloan.




by brother prefers iguanas.

Hey all, I have to apologise a bit here.

When I set this poll up I was very drunk! I just got back from the pub and decided to browse a bit. This is not a habit I make often so I hope you will forgive me.

First off I am a cat person simply because they look after themselfs.

Only problem with cats, and I experiance this from my future wife's cat all the time: it's her house she only lets you live there to serve her.

Ever notice how since the Taco Bell commercials featuring the Chihuahua ended, the texture and flavor of their taco filling has changed? :wink:

I need to make a long journey and bring this up on GLP.
