I prefer cats over dogs....had three cats and the difference between their personality was marked. One would have liked to eat you - born in the wild and never really took to being domstic. He finally ran away.

I love dogs, but the last one I had was nearly forty years ago now...I have never been able to work out how I could work all day and leave the dog alone. I suppose I could have done what I have with cats (I always have two so they can interact with each other) but having a dog is akin to having another human to take care of.

I figure when I retire, I might get a dog...:)

I have had cats. They choose to interact with you of their own free will, while dogs, being part of the pack which you lead, are compelled to interact with you!

My cats give me a lot of enjoyment...they are brothers from the same litter. It might not seem so, but look at their markings on this image:

Look at their postures and the markings on their legs. They both have idiosyncrasies that are funny...they both do an odds smacking of the lips if you rub their jowls, and...if you rub their jowls the right way, you can make them "chuff" or sneeze.

I think this is one of my favorite pictures below...:)
