Dogs mainly because they mind better, and potty outside.
I like cats but am allergic to them. I've been a dog person since childhood.
I just clicked a choice so I could comment. I'm an animal lover and I've had both cats and dogs. I've had them both at the same time. I love animals and they love me. Animals are even attracted to me at the zoo. Currently I have no animals as I live alone. This would not be fair to the animals when I am gone. It could also be messy. My daughter has dogs and cats and I get along great with them. Two or three of them know who I am. I think they honestly know I am the father of their owner. It's not unreasonable to think that animals might know this. The ones that know it are the ones she sleeps with. I think they know this by smell.
I find cats to be far too independent to be perceived as loving as much as dogs. Though, I've known some cats who loved me and I them in return. Ideally, I like having a dog and a cat as a pair, though, sadly the cat will outlive the dog and will probably know another dog.
Doggies don't make my throat swell up and my eyes and nose run simultaneously. Plus they're cute
Dogs as a companion but I like most creatures. my fave animal is the elephant but I can't keep one of those. I do want to rescue a young bitch soon.I love my fish too
I like that the cats are more independent and not so "needy" as dogs are. Also they can purr.
Dogs require a great deal of tiem and attetnion. If you dont' have the time to give to the dog, then I dont' think you shoudl have one. An animal isn't a toy you can put aside until you want to play with it.
By contrast a cat wont' let you ignore it. They will TAKE the time and atention they need.
As the sayign goes, "Dogs have masters. Cats have staff."
I like them both, but I prefer dogs because cats are assholes.
I like them both. Had a Yorkie but came home one day and my future ex wife of 36 years had moved out and took my dog, that was a year and a half ago and I still miss the dog. I asked her to watch my cat for a week when I moved recently and it got into some anti freeze and died, I don't like to think she did it on purpose.
Your poll is missing some choices both or neither. I love all animals I have 3 cats 2 ferrets 2 dogs 4 rabbits and 5 chickens and 4 ducks. Cats are interesting because they seem to have a sassy attitude. Dogs loyalty and willingness to please is also a great attribute.
