I love all animals (4 legged ones)

More of a dog person even though I never had one. I did have a goldfish once.

<<<<<Answers question. He is getting a bath after running off and being picked up at the regional landfill.

I have two cats. Dogs are cool, just too hard to take care of on my own.

I have one dog but seems I have acquired another one I have been keeping my sons for him as well. Since I have a big back yard and he does not where he is living now. Hummm

Cats never do things like that.

Dog, Buttercup (not a bit spoiled ) and Cockatiel, Buddy. Pics of both on my profile.

Toots (my itty bitty dog) love her to death..she never lets me down and is always there to listen to me and never talks back. Damn I love that little dog!

i love dog

a horse of course

I've a pug named Nemo.I would love to have more dogs and cats but since I live in a apt,only allow one..

Dogs, cats have this odd thing against me...seems they like to jump at my face while I'm sleeping...

LOL or on top of the newpaper, my cat has a thing for my neighbour, ie..that she will always attack her for now reason. Bad Lulu!

She was spiky as a kitten but with a lot of love bombing she has calmed down a lot in her older years.

Oh I'm going to get hated on for this one...
[cringes]

I had this thought about people's personalities and pets... follows the observation that cats hold a grudge and want things on their terms, where on the other hand dogs are so loyal you could just about punt one like a football and they'd turn around and run back to you, tails wagging and tongues hanging out.

Bear in mind, my theory might be just a tad biased, being a lifelong cat owner.

My thought is, maybe cat owners are sensitive enough to the needs of others that they can handle having a pet that, essentially, responds to their treatment just like a person would...
You are mean to a cat, it makes itself scarce for a long time - and do it regularly, it just turns mean right back at you. Just like a person.

I definitely *DO* know some dog owners who don't want it for anything resembling love... and in fact would drop it off on the side of the road at a convenient excuse (and the SPCA is filled with them, for that matter). More of them, I should say that seem to own a dog because of the "image of having a pet" is like an accessory in the lifestyle they want to convey - poor dogs, lol.

Makes me wonder if maybe a "cat lady" is more of an attentive, thoughtful, and compassionate type?
And maybe *some* (not all) dog owners might be a bit more superficial? Hmm?

[runs and hides]

Well cat people or cat ladies, I feel are quite sensitive and can respect when someone just wants to be alone ...but be ready for when someone needs a cuddle or attention.

Dogs are lovely too but I just prefere the independence of a cat.

LOL quick hide over here!! shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just 'perved' your profile! Cute cat!!

<----- there's me,another spoiled dog and a 22 year old cat to keep daddy busy.

Hello Mafomagic!

Very cute!

Great way to word it! That's definitely it. They need an owner who doesn't expect to snap their fingers and get a "cuddle on command" - it has to be on mutual terms.

Funny thing about my cat - he was born without a "play" gene, I swear.
I mean, he plays just fine with himself - batting little furry mice-toys around... but if you move towards him, reach towards him, or bring a toy towards him trying to actually participate, he automatically snaps into "cuddle" mode - doesn't bat at your hand, he rubs his head against it and starts purring...

And he's gotten too smart for the laser pointer... he sees the dot, plays with it for a few seconds, then looks at me with a look like "do you take me for a fool?"

But that is a great toy, until your cat catches on...

Funny!

I can actually play chase me with my cat, running and hiding like an idiot! I also like it when cats make a mistake, they try so hard to recover thier dignity! And yes , not always easy to fool a cat.
