Full Version: Are You a Cat or a Dog Person?

Since my familly always had dachshunds I am a dog person.  It is because of allergies.  We had short hair dachshunds.  Cat dander is smaller under a microscope and harder to deal with.
In my family we had two or three dogs and two cats, but not all at the same time.  We had a dog that died young of the mange, and was replaced later with a German Sheppard/Collie mix.  He was the family's all-time favorite, and mine too.  Sometimes I still have dreams of him...

I saw a bumber sticker the other day that said, "Dog only nose."  Being a "dog person" I thought it was funny, cute even.  Then after a minute went by I said to myself, "Hey, wait a minute..."
Dog.  My dog is a Shorkie - part Yorkie and part Shi Tzu.  They don't carry dander either.  And believe it or not, I was afraid she'd be a yapper (I hate yappers).  She doesn't bark at anything except when you take her toy monkey.  Then she gets a little feisty.  I don't like cats much.  They're too "sneaky"
I like both. But because we like to travel, and are gone much of the
day, we have cats. We can leave them alone for weeks at a time
where as you can not do that with a dog.

They're both quite useless. If you have some chickens, a dog might be able to keep the foxes and coyotes away. A cat might be able to earn his keep if he's a good mouser, but other than that, he's just a smelly critter who will claw your furniture, and bring fleas into your house. If you need the company of some kind of animal, I recommend you get a cow: She'll trim and fertilize your lawn while providing you with fresh milk for breakfast every morning.
Me and Suellen (the ex) are dog people, but our child is apparently a Cat person.  His cat is Oscar.
I live in a mid-sized city, within the city limits, so I doubt very much my landlord would welcome me keeping a cow in the yard. The front yard is about the size of an average living room.  The landlord also has a auto repair shop in back of the house, so it would be even harder to keep a cow there.  And don't get me started on the chickens.

I'm not much for cats either.  I don't like their attitude.  We had a cat one time that was absolutely insane.  It would hide and then when I walked by it would sneak up behind me and bite me on the ankle.  One time he tried to sneak up on my father and dear old dad sent the cat flying.  It was the funniest thing I ever saw.
Somebody told me that messianic ministry is like hearding cats.

It is the Lion of Judah, but Caleb (Means Dog) was a Judean too.

To rule over the Jews and gentiles you have to be cat and dog friendly I guess.
Definitely cats. We have two. They are funny and keep us laughing! They are total opposites, which we think is hysterical. For example, during thunderstorms, one dives under the bed and won't come out, and they other wants to sit in front of the sliding glass door and be fascinated by the lightning.

They are so lovable and love being held.

They get mad at each other, will smack each other, and 10 minutes later be best buddies again.
You're sure right about that! Cats are sneaky. My friends tell me that's why I'm a cat person, because I am just like them!!! I'm pretty sneaky too, and I hate water!
