Cats, because they're arrogant. I dig that.

My cat likes hugging the corners of walls when he's excited and he's the nicest thing in the world. My grandma's cat is an asshole though, try and pet her and she'll get on your case like the neighborhood watch after a convicted pedophile who moves into the community. I love dogs too, they jump up on you and lick your face and have a more dependent personality type than cats.

I really love both of them.

I love cats' independence and somewhat erratic behavior, whilst enjoying the mind-boggling loyalty of my canine friends.

One of my cats (a blue-point Siamese), Mathilda, is probably the most intelligent animal I've ever encountered. She's picked up that she can point at things with her paw to say that she wants them, and has even tried to emulate human speech at points, and human mannerisms. E.g.: I once was sitting one a chair, and her favorite thing ever is helium balloons. Somehow the string had become tangled, and she couldn't reach it to mess with it.

She walked up to me, looked me dead in the eyes, and meowed something which sounded approximately, like, "Get the balloon down!" I was baffled, and then asked of my sister, "Did Mathilda just ask me to get the balloon down?!" and then the cat NODDED, put her paw on my leg and repeated, "Get the balloon down!" and then pointed at it with her paw.

Consequently, I'm somewhat scared of that cat.

My cat is great.

Whenever I walk outside she'll walk in front of me & escort me everywhere I go.
If I stand still she'll circle me investigating any danger that might arise.
And then when I go back inside she'll get to the doorstep and flop over expecting me to stroke her.

It feels a bit like being protected by a small cute & furry secret service member.

:laughing:

I have a dog who i love but I actually think im a cat person and would get one when I move out...

I'd like to hire your cat as a personal bodyguard.

I love both, cats a bit more from personal experience, but I can't help this floating to the top of my head when someone calls himself a "cat person":

I'm allergic to both, sadly. However, having had a dog as a kid and having the responsibility of taking care of him, I can say that cats seem like much less work. You don't have to walk them, they don't gobble up their food in two bites and then ask for more, all that kind of stuff. I think they are also more cuddly than dogs are. So for the purpose of this thread, I'll say I have a slight preference for cats.

I'm a dog person. The fact that I can I push my dog the lenth of my livingroom and she runs rapidly back to maul my ass. Joking but she does jump on me and stuff, which is always fun when you have a 3ft-ish Great Dane. I don't like small dogs or cats all that much. Although I'm always very nice to them I love big dogs so much more.
