Personally, I'm a dog person.
In school I learned that cats carry more parasites transmissable to humans than any other domesticated animal. This dude, Toxoplasma is one nasty piece of work.

In school I learned that cats carry more parasites transmissable to humans than any other domesticated animal. I wonder why that is. I guess dogs have been domesticated longer, so we've adapted to each other.
It was my impression that cattle were the worst: Smallpox and TB, and I believe a few others, were originally cattle diseases.
