    I like all kinds of animals but as far as which ones I can live with, it's puppy dogs. :o3

    I had to think a while to answer my own poll. I like both cats and dogs a lot and have had both (as well as other critters of all sorts) but overall I have to give the edge to cats. Maybe if I ever retire and have more time again for a dog I'll reach that 50/50 stage again.

    I'm a "yes" :)

    l love both, and we adore our two cats. But if we had a house vs our current small condo with association rules, a dog would definitely have a home with us - a rescue dog, at that!

    I've never jived with people who aren't into either, who aren't into animals in general (not for allergy reasons but just don't like them).

    How?!

    Dogs. Grew up with dogs my whole life and just got my own a few months ago. It's awesome.

    Cats just don't do it for me. Plus, I'm extremely allergic to them.

    The dogs are in the lead. Cats a few steps behind. But will the tortoise win after all? :-)

    The kitties definitely have the edge with me. I love puppies too but I love kitties more, always have.

    I love them both, but for intelligence, slinkiness, purriness and scratchy tongues, I have to give it to the cats. And I acquired my first cat at age 2, when I walked to the neighbors to retrieve a kitten. After several attempts on my mom's part to return it, she gave up. I have been without a cat for almost 16 years until last Saturday, when we picked up a 4 month old bag of elbows at a local rescue. Our pets now total 8: 4 hens, 2 zebra finch, 1 rescue chubby pug, and 1 kitten. The zoo is complete! image
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    I love both. Dogs are more fun than cats, but cats are so much easier and relaxing to live with, so it evens out.

    On the fourth lap its cats by a paw and a whisker. Will the dogs catch up? Will the tortoise make a last minute appearance? Stay tuned!

    Cats all the way. Dogs are nice, but I never had one and don't really care to have one. I'd rather have another cat.

    Hmmm...

    No one prefers "another pet altogether"?

    No ferret, snake or pot-bellied pig lovers?

    Show yourselves!

    I love dogs more than cats but if I would choose to be one Id choose to be a cat, even though they get run over by cars they have a better life as a wanderer and hunter snooper and whatever else

    I love Galapagos tortoises. If I'm ever a bazillonaire I'll get one. And built it a habitat.And hire an around the clock care team. And get it a friend.

    I had a friend who had a big desert tortoise named after a truck or tank or something. (Great name, wish I could remember it.) They never fenced it in or anything. It just stuck around and chomped down on anything green. They live a long time so he's probably still there. Really cool critter, that tortoise.

    Did you get to pet it? Or feed it a mango?

    They are messy eaters. But it's so adorable!
