I have dogs, cats, chickens, tortoises, goats, peafowl, geese, ducks, quail, pigeons, doves, finches, conures, canaries, cockatoos, turkeys, keets, cockatiels, fish, and rabbits. I have had reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and insects and spiders ( insects and spiders not my favorite, just a curiosity). I am a foster parent for pug rescue, and I have many rescue animals.

I have one dog and one horse. I like my dog best. My horse is somewhat stuck up and snobbish, but I enjoy riding her.Beware of talking snakes!

Dogs, always had a dog since I was a kid. Gotta love 'em, they're always so happy to see you.

have a service dog, he is me 24/7. even likes to take me into my favorite shops when I do not want to go!

Cats, because they're ass holes...

I love all animals. I mean it. Presently I have cats (only 2), and chickens. Have always had cats in varied numbers. Not so long ago, two tarantulas. In my past snakes, dogs, rats, hamsters, an opossum, squirrels, and assorted other wild species that I rehabilitated. All good !

Others - only because it was a toss up between cats/dogs.

Cats forever win my heart <3 but I do love dogs too.
Victoria has described cats perfectly here. One thing I want to add is that every cat has their own distinctive personality. Funny thing is, though I've loved cats all my life, the older I am, the more I'm like a dog in my daily life (in that I try to please people and be friendly to everyone I meet). And my cat? She makes it very clear who she likes and dislikes. Luckily, I'm well-loved by her <3

I love animals of all sorts. Currently, I have three dogs, two cats (I kind of inherited) and three birds. I also put out food and water each night for some feral cats and possums that hang around. But, if I had to have only one pet, it would be a dog.

Companionship.

I prefer a cat only because they display a certain degree of independence. As Rudyard Kipling quoted in one of his yarns, the cat who walks by himself.

I love their affectionate independence!

We have two cats in our house. When I lay on my bed and read a book they liek to come and lay on top of me or right next to me.

Definitely Baptists. It’s easy! Just supply a bible and a steady diet of biscuits and gravy.

Would have checked cats AND snakes, but was limited to one. I have three cats, five snakes, one hedge hog, and several fish. I greatly enjoy them all.

Guinea pigs! Underrated, misunderstood and so full of love. Also, sadly, not a lot of vets around to truly help them get better when they get sick. I love my kitty as well. I grew up with both critters.

Damn! Talking snakes only has three votes.

I love dogs and have only lived without a dog for maybe three years of my entire life.

I have 2 birds... lol

I'm now a dog person, and a hardened doberman person at that, absolutely ruined on them.
I couldn't have cats as my daughter and late husband are and were severely allergic.
Couldn't have a cat anyway now as our dogs aren't cat savvy ...
I also love chickens, goats and mooshy horses.

I equally love cats and dogs...

I prefer affectionate cats. I like both cats and dogs, but cats tend to take less care and I don't have so much time these days.

I feel Cats embody what I am as a human, metrosexual
