Cat People VS Dog People

Phantom Limb · 07-07-2013, 10:17 AM

I love both dogs and cats as well as all other animals. Animals are pure, they act solely on instincts and emotions. There are no evil animals.

I like their independence, and the fact that they take a little effort for so much reward.

If I had to own a dog, it'd be either a greyhound, a lab or a staff.

I feel like with the independence thing it just varies between breeds. I don't feel it's necessarily a dog/cat quality. Sure more cat breeds tend to be on the independent side but I've encountered some needy cats that are just downright annoying because I didn't expect them to be that way.

Personally, I like dogs and cats but I do tend to lean more towards cats. The next dog that I'd like to get is a Scottish Terrier. I've always wanted one of them. I've had my fair share of big dogs and I'm over them for the most part.

I also like the way cats show their affections. A little eye blink here, a head bonk there, or rub against you and plonk themselves in your lap.

I love kitties!! People have probably noticed that but I'm really obsessed with them. Engine I disagree that people who specify them being a dog or cat person makes them someone who doesn't like animals. For my whole life I've identified with cats, I grew up with them and plan on owning many of them when I settle down in Christchurch next year.

I thought we were talking about people who dress up like one or the other in their spare time.

Imitation is the best form of flattery

however do be careful bc I have had a few (not many) anxiety attacks caring for and juggling multiple cats over the years. They can be a lot of work for someone who grooms them daily. With six cats, my day is all about them, which I don't mind and doesn't seem like you would either.

I'm an animal lover and I love both cats and dogs, however, I am admittedly more a dog person mainly because I'm allergic to cats. I also find that dogs suit my lifestyle more, i.e. I go jogging with them, take them to the beach, etc.

I'm more of a cat person. And it definitely shows in my personality since I scratch the furniture and shit in a box full of gravel.
