It's an old question, and to some a first-date necessity: Are you a dog person or a cat person?

Don’t ever trust a cat person. Cat people are slightly weird and only care about themselves and what is in their best interest. They are very much like the cats they own in this regard.

I am on my second round of feral cats who come to eat, become domesticated, and become very close pets. One is annoyingly needy and has to be on my lap whenever I sit down.
The last feral twosome lived 20 years. Probably be the same with the latest that have adopted me.
My mother has a watch-cat. It growls when cars drive up to the house.
Cats are great; just make sure you take a look-see before slamming your back door. Kittys shouldn't smell like cigarettes kittys should smell like kittys.
Having lived all over and traveled the world much; either or both, depending on location and personal living conditions. In deployed areas any stray cat or dog was always welcomed. And yes, we scoffed at the rules against approaching strays. Both cats or a dogs did wonders to relieve stress. Of course, we exercised prudence and took our new four legged friends to the local military vet for shots.

Regards.
