I've had both as pets all my life except when I went off to college and had to live in an apartment. Pet deposit  . It's like making parents pay kid deposits and I think that most people will admit kids can be much more destructive.  My old dog, Tori, died last year. Tropical fish died off from attrition. My black cat, Squeaky, has had amazing endurance. Had her before the dog and she's still with us.  So, I'm going with tropical fish. Damn, that's not an option.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

While not much of an animal lover, I like cats the most. They seem to be the most complex, personality-wise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MTzKG_haUg - However, I do not like them as nearly as much as this guy.

Had a dog. Nice white lab. Dog hated me. I hated dog. Dog bit babysitter, dog shat on deck and in fact everywhere. $100 every three months to get her ears cleaned so she wouldn't scratch them bloody. Kids loved her. Alas, she's now gone.
Have four cats, all complete idiots, though intelligent enough. Bangin' on the cupboard doors for food, scratchin' on the door to go out, scratchin' on the door to come in. Idiots. The cats like me. I like the cats, 'cept about 3:30 in the morning.
Animals, they're laughing at us.

Dogs for me -- don't care for cats.
(I'm allergic too -- that doesn't help.)
Most prog fans seem to be cat people though, if previous incarnations of this poll are any indication. Must be the loner/outcast/supeiority thing...,.
 If you own 3 of more cats, you're officially a weirdo.  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

I've had a few dogs in my life. They were good dogs. Trixie way back. She was a good dog and a mutt, I don't know the variety, we called them Heinz 57. Got hit by a car. Trixie Mark II was good dog. Another mix. She got hit by a car. Fred, a German Shepherd/Husky mix. Did not get hit by a car. Died of old age. Tori was with me for a long time. Lhaso Apso something other mix. She was a good dog. Died of old age. Cats. I've known more than a few cats as pets. Most memorable Snowball, a white cat. She came from a shelter and was actually a blood donor cat. She was a good cat. Died of old age. My first black cat, Midnight, she was a good cat, hit by a car. Bottom line. If you like your pets don't let them roam free. Treat them with kindness. You will likely outlive them and probably never forget them. Apologies to any of my cat or dog friends I may have forgotten. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Cats. We have two Siamese which had been just kittens when Jean and I first met,so they are pretty old meanwhile. Nevertheless, we have a dog too since last year; our kids found a collie puppy which had been exposed. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

You are wrong about that. It is not your computer chair, it is the cat's chair. Just like anything else in your home belongs to it. You are only being kept as a kind of butler to the cat. At least that's the cat's view of things. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

My cat treats me like furniture. Over the years I do get back at the cats and dogs I've known. Anyone out there tickle the hairs between their paw pads when they are sleeping? ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Another fun thing to do with cats: do a staring contest and see who blinks first.

And another good thing about cats. They have legal drugs, which for a while whacks them out, then they gotta pass out for a couple of hours. Come to think of it, they do that anyway  . They are pretty nice creatures considering that they are essentially designed to be killing machines (if you're a bird or rodent), For us, they just puke everywhere. That'll piss us off.------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

Wait, are we talking actual puke or gacking up hairballs? By the way cat piss is one of the most vile smelling substances I've ever encountered. Fortunately, Squeakey uses her box. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

my cat usually gaks if he overeats, hasn't had too many furballs this year though, he eats grass like it's tunafish which also promotes gakage |

We are a family of three and we have a cat each - and they've pretty much bonded with their respective 'owner', though since Alex has been at Uni her cat has decided that I'm an adequate substitute until she comes home again (then I don't exist as far as the cat's concerned). ------------- What? |

More fun things to do with your cat. Take a couple of fingers and press down the ears to a horizontal position and repeat after me Yoda, Yoda.

We did it few months ago ! Cat's won on that case too but in this poll they are doing so well I didn't even bother to vote.
It seems that prog lovers are also Cat lovers and I can't explain it but somehow this looks very natural to me.
And as Baldfriede said we (human beings) domesticated dogs, cows, horses, chicken and lots of other animals. The cats domesticated us ! ------------- omri |

At this point, 19 of you are asocial weirdos with fur on your clothes -- 10 of you (besides me) are cool, very nice people.
Hey, the dog (Wellington) just came into the room -- "I need to go out, Dad!"
