I believe being a cat person or a dog person can be about ego (viewing the pet as an extension of self) - or - about being comfortable being around the animal(s) you were raised with (in which case that person can expand their horizons). If anyone insists they're a dog-person-only and hates cats, or a cat-person-only and hates dogs, I honestly don't trust them... I only trust people who love all animals.

I love them all!!!! I have a giant dog, and two cats with a total of three eyes. I'm afraid of birds because I was attacked by a chicken and a rooster when I was younger, but I'm getting over that. I hate rabbits because we had a giant rabbit named Kid Icarus and he was a complete jerk.. I'm serious, there are too many stories to go into.. he was terrible.

I'd have to say I'm a dog person. I had been raised in a house that only had cats for a while. And half of those cats were vicious or snooty. When I was seven we moved and I got a dog. A big dog. He was the most loving creature I had ever met in my life. He would sleep in my bed with me and would follow me everywhere. He was my best friend. He died two years ago, and we have had other dogs and cats since. But I think because of that dog, my first dog, I will always love dogs a little more than any other kind of pet.

I used to own a dog, or three, but never got really into it. I lost a doberman in a divorce. My chihuahua chased the wrong car and died. I had a Newfi-sitter mix. She was trained to take care of a blind girl. She would not allow me to cross the street alone. She would bring me the phone when it rang --- telephone wire pulled out of the wall and all. When I swept my porch and she helped bring the door mat to me, I praised her for the new trick. The next morning I had half the door mats in the town of Valley Center on my porch. A cat will never do those things.

My two cats want me to tell you that I'm a cat person. In actual fact, I'm an animal person. Cats, dogs, ferrets, horses, etc.

All I know is that when I'm really upset I go to my cat and not my husband. My husband always wants to say something and my cat just snuggles with me and licks my hand. That's the comfort that I want.
As soon as we move from an apartment to a house I plan to get a dog.

Dogs, having hunted in packs (and later, co-evolving with humans), evolved more social intelligence than cats. I find them considerably easier to get along with. Cats, meh.

A cat person? So you wash in your own spit then? :-)

I prefer dogs to cats. I appreciate their companionship and eagerness. If cats could operate the can opener, they'd turn on us all.

Dog person for sure! I actually don't like cats, I had a bad experience with one biting me when I was younger & haven't liked them ever since.
