King Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Simple question really are you a Dog or a Cat person? My first pet was a cat but we had a Sheepdog for 17 years and he was like a member of the family so for me dogs would be my favourite. Cats can be messy bastards, more so that dogs. You?

Laffy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 For years we were cat people but 10 years ago when my mum died we bought dad a dog for company and he became one of the family. He is a major part of the household and will be really missed should he ever die. He is the first thing i see in the morning and the last at night he demands his walk by putting his paws on the cupboard where the lead is kept and whining. He taps the bowl for food and demands hugs on a ten minute basis. Milo is wonderful and could not be without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah I have a yorkie now, shocked how smart the little lunatic is, when he was a pup he dragged a cushion over to the rad for some heat, just little things like food and walks they know a hell of alot.

FreeSpirit Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I looooooove cats. I love the fact that they are just so independent. Feed them and install a cat flap and after that, they can pretty much look after themselves. Dogs just take up too much time what with walking them and bathing them etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've got a dog, don't dislike cats but prefer my pooch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Dogs for the loyalty and companionship, cats for the sheer stone cold evil bast*rdness of them. :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Both in equal measure. If me and my wife had the time we might have a Dog but it'd be unfair as we'd see it for a few hours in the evening and the weekends with our jobs. With cats you know they can entertain themselves plenty well enough without you! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've had plenty of both over the years and currently live with a cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I prefer dogs, although I only have a cat (I had a dog too, but it died). My cat's a stray that just decided it lived in my house 12 years ago and hasn't left, and I love my cat, but I'd never intentionally buy a cat, where as, the second I'm living somewhere that allows them, I intend to have dogs for the rest of my life.

Edgehead Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Growing up my parents always had dogs. When I moved into my own place there was this cat that was always hanging around & coming in the house. At first I thought she was a stray & I started feeding her but it turns out her real owners lived 3 doors away but she wouldn't go there because they had loads of cats & she didn't get on with other cats so she ended up living with me. She was 13 at the time & she died last year at the age of 21. I was absolutely gutted. As for the question am I a dog or a cat person I would have to say both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horowitz Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Both. Got 3 dogs and a cat. At a push dogs shade it though. The wife runs a pet care/walking business so I get to see all kinds so its a good job I like em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Definitely a cat person. Had 5 or 6 cats since I was 3, although the last couple I've had have only lasted 4 months each, as both got run over. I'd definitely have a dog though. I like collies, labs and those silvery-grey blue-eyed husky things. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I love all animals, but I'd say dogs shade this one for me, maybe because I've always had dogs and I've never had a cat. At home (when I'm not staying in Edinburgh, I stay at my grandparents), we have border collie, and a cross breed that is half lab, half something else, I forget. Anyway, they're both great. I'd like to have one at my own place, but I wouldn't have the time for it at the moment, so it wouldn't be fair. When I'm old and retired though with lots of free time, I intend to have a couple.

etz Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I like both cats and dogs, but I prefer affectionate animals and, as a species, dogs are typically more affectionate than cats. German Shepherds, Collies, Labradors and Staffies are my favorite dogs, mainly because they're the breeds I know the best. Staffies get a lot of bad press because of dodgy shit like selling pitbulls as Staffies, but I had 2 Staffies and the only thing they ever attacked was each other (mainly as a result him being too persistent, or not minding his distance from the puppies). Not a dog to have with if you've got small kids though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I really want one of these. http://i.imgur.com/t6Lio6H.jpg It's a domesticated Silver Fox. [video=youtube;niVSCbcSKuI] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horowitz Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Staffies used to be called the nanny dog because of how good they are with kids. Its the chavvy owners that breed/raise them wrong. We have one 4 days a week and she's as soft and daft as a brush and gets on fine with ours. She's a rescue that was dumped after a few litters. Personally I wouldn't leave a child alone with any dog. Not because of the dog either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because of the dog either. Yeah, to be fair, my Staffies were never around small kids, so they didn't understand that standing on them with front paws was terrifying to small children. My main concern though would be the kid doing something stupid and then injuring themselves by tearing their arm/leg from the dogs mouth, not realising the dog isn't going to hurt them, it's just trying to stop them.

Eddie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm primarily a dog person, never really liked Cats at all until recently and It's all thanks to you Devils and you're Hilarious Cat memes and videos, swines you are!

Shaun2J Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) This is bringing me down folks, I can't understand why I haven't had a pet in my 20 year existence. My biggest fear is going to an animal shelter and choosing over some hundred dogs. Can't leave them behind. :sad5: When I get a dog, it's probably gonna be a Beagle.
