I like.. *drum roll* CATS best!
I just think they have a lot of purrsonality and attitude, and that theyre cuter than dogs overall. I'm not saying that I hate dogs or anything, but i wouldnt want to own one. Cats are just more my speed - they dont slobber, they dont go to the bathroom all over the yard, and otherwise you dont have to embarrassingly walk them around til they crap in public. In a way, dogs are just really gross. They smell, they have horrible breath partly due to licking their own balls, eating disgusting things, etx. I dont like it when they jam their nose in people's crotches, that's always wonderful. Weve had several dogs in my family when I was a kid, and I loved them, but kids are also kinda gross too so we didnt mind each other.
Cats cant kill you, or people you know either. I guess if they really tried, they could, but you generally dont have to worry about a cat attacking the mailman or a guest or anything (unless provoked!), even so overall theyre pretty wimpy compared to a human being. Yes, I have had some bad experiences w/ vicious dogs!
Unfortunately it's not an option either way, I'm cursed w/ allergies to pretty much all fur-bearing pets that have gotten progressively worse as Ive gotten older. I can hang out w/ them for a while and play and even cuddle w/ them a bit, but I cant live w/ them. After a few days i start breaking out in hives n stuff. Really pisses me off, there's so many people who despise cats, yet have no allergy. I would love to have one, yet I cant = [
So I have surrogate pets, I helped my mom get some purebred Ragdolls - Gandalf, Gimli, and Gizmo (he was Frodo's gnome cousin) from left to right below
