Would you prefer to own a dog or a cat?

i have 3 cats, and we are thinking about a dog. they are so different it is hard to compare.

Definitely a cat.
(It only costs $40 to euthenize the average dog)

It doesn't cost anything to euthanize Oscar unless you pay a hit man.

oh come on, the bullet's gotta cost you something...

Would I?
I do!
I own a cat. I would like to own a dog too.

no...I'd do it with my bare hands for free, you sick excuse for a human.
*smiles*

You can't take any sarcasm, can you?

I think that cats are too sneaky, and they are always around. The only member of the cat family i would take would be a tiger.

You must not have noticed my answer on the ginsu survey.

cat--dogs are not practical for boats (although several of our neighbors own them)

I love them both.

But now a company has come out with a litter pan for dogs...would that help?

Dogs are brave and cats are...p...p...petulant. Yes! Often petulant. They get on my nerves and histemines.

Dogs, they are eager to please. A cat just lies there and stares at you.

you've got the wrong cat then!

Let's see ... a friendly, companionable creature, or a standoffish, spiteful thing that I'm allergic to. Tough call.

Both, if I wasn't allergic.

I was always a dog person and recently I adopted a cat from a shelter he was neutered and de-clawed, he is the most wonderful cat. He is loving and PLAYS ALL DAY long with my one year old!! I don't know what I would do if it weren't for his occupying my kid so I could get work done. I also have a dog but he is outside... very sweet thing though.
It is a hard decision to make when I go to the pound of which one I want to take home, so I usually go for the one who is seeing its last days in the shelter. That way there I will know I saved a little life too.

By the way, my dog I had since I was 9 yrs old died just a couple of years ago so it really makes it hard to have another.. my dear sweet mandy did everything with me.. she slept when I slept, ate when I ate and just loved being near me... I havent felt as special since I lost her.. or maybe not as loved I don't know what it is I do know I miss her though

I am not a pet person.

I'm happy to hear that you enjoy rescuing animals from the pound. I wish more people would. Sorry to hear about your dog. I've always wished my pets would live longer.

I love cats

Cats are clean and finicky and royal creatures. Dogs are good guardians, a little smelly, but are o.k.

I'm allergic, so neither . I do like them both though.

My son is a cat and my girlfriend's daughter is a dog. Personally, I don't consider myself a 'dog person' or 'cat person' -- just an 'animal person.'

My first choice is always a rabbit, either Netherlands Dwarf or Mini Rex. Wonderful house pets, litter broken and all! And very loving, much like a dog or cat in attitude! My second choice is a wolf, which I hope to obtain one or two puppies from a breeder in the next 6 months.

Dogs are so much more fun!

I am a big cat person. Dogs are so messy and needy. You have to clean them, walk them, play with them... constantly.

A ferret is a far better pet then either of these
