Which pigeon hole would you put one if one likes both?
or
I like dogs, but don't like the smell and tne sloppy licks.
I like cats because they have a mind of their own.
Most dogs - I wrote MOST, OK? - are so stupid, that's why they're loyal...

So, I have the best of both worlds: I have a cat that thinks he's a dog - he demands to be walked or he sulks.
He's smart; [see my post at the bottom of page 1 of this thread]
he's clean, he doesn't smell even when he gets wet;
I don't need to run after him with a plastic bag when I walk him - he rarely uses the litter box;
he doesn't eat me out of house and home though his bedical bills - 1 broken leg and 2 infected bites - costed me a total of CAD1,500 over 3 years.

Come to think of it, I like my women that way too...I better stop writing now

Why must the traits be dog traits if obviously these people's cats share them as well. Did it ever occur to you cats don't necessarily conform to their stereotype. Dogs don't either. I have a collie that can open the child-proof locks we have on the cabinets to keep him out (the trash is in the cabinet under the sink). Obviously he isn't stupid.

It's not a question of sexual preference but more a question of personality and lifestyle. If you're neat and meticulous you probably prefer cats. If you're a grub and dirty you probably like dogs.

I'm a very meticulous person. I think I have an undiagnosed OCD about cleanlyness. We have two dogs who are very clean, well behaved, smart. They don't tear our house up. They know what is theirs to lie on and what is not. So as far as my situation goes you are way off base about the whole messy thing.

Uh . . . no. I grow dustbunnies and piles of paper, and cats 'R' us.

From my name you can guess which I perfer. I've said before, I aspire to become one of those strange old cat ladies.
As someone once said, they're aloof, cruel, conniving and they have many other fine qualities too. I can't stand kiss-ups and dogs, in essence, are kiss-ups. I too have a cat with definite facial expressions. She is also a frisbee cat. I'm not kidding I was throwing a frisbee around when the cat was outside and she watched me throw it then ran after it and sat down next to it when it landed. Granted she didn't bring it back, but considering the frisbee is about as big as she is, what can you expect.
Finally, for the running around bit, obviously you've never seen my cat chase (and I should add catch) her tail. She also begs me to chase her up and down the stairs, and seems to especially enjoy it after I've been to fencing and my legs are dead.

I am a huge fan of all animals, except snakes, though.

I'd post pictures, but everytime I try to take her picture she either runs away and hides or she turns her bum toward the camera.

I don't like the smell of dogs or the way they love to slobber all over you. My cats read Oedipus Rex and unwrap chocolates.. but they smell.

Don't confuse loyalty with "kissing up".

Please note his cats stay in a 10x10x10 room all day, that never gets any airing out.
