Definitely a cat person here. They're low key and low maintenance yet hilariously entertaining. Plus their way of being affectionate is far more appealing to me than the dog way.

When a cat rubs up against your leg it's actually marking it's territory, rather than showing affection. It's basically marking you as it's property.

Cats. I like dogs, but I had a fear of them when I was younger, and I'm still a bit intimidated by them now.

I'm definitely a dog person. Cats are cool, but my wife is allergic. A Savannah cat would be great to own.

^ This is actually probably one reason I *am* a cat person.

I don't find myself longing for affection or companionship with cats. I get those things, but without the relentless neediness of dogs. When a cat likes you, it's because it likes you, not because it needs you.

That's the feeling I get with cats, too, Pedestrian.

Then I remember a cartoon I like that shows the thoughts of a cat who is sitting next to its disturbed-looking owner: "If you were smaller, I would eat you." I think that's probably true. I have a feeling that a dog would be less likely to eat its human if the person suddenly shrunk down to mouse size.

Cats often seem more reserved with their affection and need more space and privacy than dogs, but when cats *do* bond they can be very intimate. I relate to and feel more comfortable with that, so being around cats is easier for me than being around dogs. When I'm with cats, I can relax. I feel like I'm with my own kind...minus the cat traits of being a carnivore and having a penchant for chomping up spiders and cockroaches!

It's funny that you say cats genuinely like you and feel intimate, because I've always felt mine use me as a food/comfy bed/scratching dispenser. They're probably just reserved in their affections, but still, I always get the feelig that cats are in it more for the perks than the people.

I definitely felt my cat had affection for me rather than seeing me as *just* a source of food, scratches, and a comfy lap.

Sometimes when I pet her she'd groom me...lick my hand, give little painless nips and vibrate her jaws very quickly as if I had fur that she were working her teeth through (because that's the motion she'd make when grooming her own fur). I took her grooming me as a sign of affection, because she was giving me something *back*.

Also, when I was out in the garden she'd meow and find me just to sit close. I got the feeling that she liked being around me and specifically me. She didn't do that with just anyone.

Finally, when she was in a playful mood, she'd seek me out to play...and when she was in trouble, she'd call out until I arrived.
