    I am both, but I am very allergic to cats :( I especially love Siamese - they are so pretty! We have 2 large dogs.

    Total cat person. Had the most awesome cat for 20 years, she was burmese/chinchilla and we got her when she was 5 weeks old. Burmese have very dog-like personalities (you can even walk them on a leash)... she was also convinced she was human... even cat-haters loved her.

    I like dogs (in this city you better at least be partial to dogs cause they're EVERYWHERE!). What I don't like about dogs (or dog owners) is the crap all over the sidewalk, that the stupid owners don't pick up, and the fact that when a dog barks constantly, you hear it... if a cat meows, you're not going to hear that a block away or even in the next apartment. Neighbour's dog downstairs barks all friggin' day... drives me bonkers when I'm home. I also don't agree with dogs in apartments... sorry, I think it's cruel (especially if they're big dogs). Dogs need backyards to run around.

    Dogs have masters, cats have staff ;)

    I have two large dogs, a large husband and a cat in a small apartment. I personally feel that apartment dogs end up with a much better life than many house dogs.

    With a house, it's easy just to let a dog out and have them entertain themselves. Many are left outside and therefore left out of the interaction with their families.

    Having my dogs in an apartment means they're getting a lot more time with me. I have to make sure they get their exercise, so they don't get bored. A bored dog can be a destructive dog. Plus, they really like having the play time with us - even just on the short bathroom breaks.

    There are plenty of dogs that are actually well suited for apartments: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/apartment.htm :)


    BTW - people who don't pick up after their dogs piss me off as well. I always have bags in my backpack, so if I see someone walking away from their pups waste, I can hand them a bag and tell them to clean it up.

    Good way of putting it.
    My sis in law had this weird fucking cat, it would always have crap hanging from its butt, wtf? You could not see its face becouse of all the fur and its face was pushed in. lol
    Hard to describe, weird fucking cat.
    WTF? clean the shit off of the cats ass would ya?????

    Haha! That reminds me of the time my cat got chased around the house by his own shit. See, I have really long hair and sometimes my cats will eat a hair off the bathroom floor or something. (I try really hard to keep this from happening.) Of course it's got to eventually come out the other end with everything else. One morning I'm sound asleep and hear my cat tearing through the house like he's running away from something. Unfortunately he ran right across my bed and I realized that he had gone to the bathroom and a piece of crap had come out with one end of a hair imbedded in it - but the other end of the hair was still inside him. So when he took off, the crap followed him, and the faster he ran, the faster it chased him! Ah, the joys of pet ownership! :eek:

    Maybe I shouldn't have told this story. :o

    That's happened with one of my dogs when he was a puppy. Only we had to follow him around with a bag, then help him finish things up.


    EWWWW!!!!!! :eek:

    LOL! Oh, I love it... 2 large dogs and a large husband ;)

    I see what you're saying about dogs, I've just never had a dog and I just can't imagine being in a confined space with one... other than when I look after my friend's mini-dachshund (who is completely hyperactive and crazy but very cute).

    People who don't pick up after their dogs... SUCK!

    Naah - its reality if you have a cat. Its probably happened to everyone at least once. We caught our poor little dude and just very carefully snipped the hair - I'm sure its the safest thing to do unless you're just leaving it alone. If the hair is still connected you might injure them inside by doing anything else like pulling or something.

    nothing really wrong with cats, but I'm allergic to them.

    Both. My folks have always had dogs and cats. My ex was really allergic to fur, so we never had any pets at all. Now...what the hell...I may get both ;):D
