How lovely. I didn't think there would be so many in the 'both' camp.

Dogs every time - but have had 3 lovely cats along the way.

Both - I've had dogs and cats for most of my life. I love them in different ways and for different reasons. A cat is like a cheerful but independent friend, whereas a dog is more like a small child, that bit more responsibility!

Just like you lemogrove "Both, in equal measure"smile

Both, in equal measure.?

Dogs all day long.

I'm definitely a cat lady.
My heart goes a little bit gooey at a kitten in way it never has for dogs or babies. (My own excepted, of course)

Dogs first and foremost but we've also had some lovely cats.

Ah, yes, I forgot to mention the not fussed camp. smile

My mum felt like that, which made her all the more cross when she ended up having to clean out hamsters cages, terrapin tanks and the like.

I love both but I have owned a cat for years. I am not able to take a dog out for walks.

When I was a child we had a dog which I loved to bits. I felt when I was working and married the dog would be on its own for too long.

Neither, would never hurt any animal, just feel little affinity with any particular animals.

Or maybe both?

Most people I've met are one or the other, even if they love all animals.

Do you think it ties in with being an extrovert/ introvert?
