first time I've ever heard dogs are easier than cats. I guess you're bad with cats haha or maybe cuz of your grandma having tons of cats - CAT LADY! Reminds me of this old granny in Simpsons where she throws cats at intruder.

I'm a dog lover - I have a yorkie named Cookie. Dog has #1 advantage over cat - letting me know people's at door. I want a bigger dog but my mom is terrified of it so I'll just get my own when I move out... perhaps a german shepherd or a wolfie-looking one

I always dread this kind of threads.

pinky... I know you inquired (and others posted) without any intentions but my poor cats are offended and I'll speak for them. especially because we do not take anyone's thoughts as 'opinions' if you never had a cat or enough experience/knowledge. experience does make a big difference for better understanding/perspectives.

for instance..

, I like dogs. They always want to do what you want but cats want you to do whatever they want. Cats are very self centered.
eight of mine aren't. at all. it really depends on how you look at them, think of them, treat them and portion of love you give them. they feel you, ESP you (read your heart, not just your mind). maybe try to love them differently now?

my cat can too, she comes to me and goes back to the sounds. and, she paws my nose/lips if my eyes are closed. a fact here, I'm looking to get her a service cat certificate - before my dog retires.

hmm, all do shed... just more or less. not to mention, more than cats do. another fact here, I have one dog and more than a dozen of cats living at my house, can you guess which more furs I find? don't complain, groom them weekly.

and all of my cats are known as the excellent furtravellers as well. just ask for a picture if you'd like.

That's true. I realized about cat is smart. I went to my friend's house all the times. They have 2 cats. I like her cat name is Pita. She is so kindly and like to be near to me. She is a social. I was surprise! Her fur color is black and blue mixed. I am not sure what kind of breed that I like her. I was raise with dogs. I never have an own cat because my parents hate cats.

About Freckles asking about my cat. I do have only one now but I have had several before because my daughters both liked cats. The cat I have now is an old man of 12, and he thinks he is in charge. He loves both the little dogs, my granddaughter, the neighbor's little female cat, and me especially. For a cat he is wonderful. And he gets plenty of love and attention, even though I think of myself as a dog person. Hope Freckles feels better at this sign of my cat respect.

I didn't have any cats growing up, because like others, my dad would not like them. I did get to love dogs though growing up. After getting married my wife wanted a cat so we got a cat. We only had apt at first so a cat would be a little easier to care of. Im telling you though- my first cat was possesed byy the devil! She would be perfect nice and you pet her and hold her and without notice, she bite and claw OUCH! She had kittens though and we kept one (his name Pepper). He turned to be sweetest thing in world and really got me love kitties. We got another cat (Otis) who like pepper was such a good cat and loving EVERYBODY. We then got puppy and all 3 would play and chase around house

I vote both cat and dog. I miss my cats since divorce (my ex took the cats!) I took Isabelle my doggy. She really comfort me a lot. She was a small Schnauzer/ Maltease mix (black) She got lost though last fall, and broke my heart. I was devestated because I felt so alone. I still miss her and need to get another pet one day. They are very therapeutic whether cat or dog.

Cat is old now so he does bring baby rabbits. When he was young he brought adult ones. He once brought my husband a cardinal bird. He put it down at my husbands feet, and the cardinal got up and flew away unharmed!

He is 13 years old this summer, so he probably won't be a hunter much longer. I think he thinks he is bringing us food.
