Cats or Dogs

I have had three great dogs in my life and I always considered myself a dog man. Then my daughter was adopted by a cat and I put up with it for her. Now a stray cat has attached itself to me because I made the mistake of giving it some water.

I hate cats! Dogs are what I love; but now I am forced to have to work around the cats if I want a dog in my house.

I'd just assume, let let them work it out, but I'm considered a barbarian for thinking that way.

How the hell does a dog man work his way out of a cat world!

I used to be alllll dog,but now I'm in the middle. Cats take a little more courting, but they're worth it when you get to know 'em.

I'm a dog guy too, but I had a cat when I was in college. He came with a basement apartment that I rented to keep it free of mice. That was one mean sob. He used to swagger down the street snarling at dogs.

Mark this day--I agree with PJ.

Cats being afraid of dogs is an urban myth. The dynamic usually goes like this: the dog growls at the cat. The cat takes a swipe at the dog's nose with his claws. The dog thereafter gives the cat a wide berth.

[If the cat has been declawed, he uses his teeth. Same effect.]

I prefer dogs. Cats creep me out.

Cat person here! Dogs are too jumpy, noisy, sloppy and licky for my tastes. "Cats make you work for their affection (Robert Deniro)."

lol--I love love love cats!!!!! snuggly & warm just like a guy{lol}

I'm in the middle, I like yard dogs and house cats. Although house cats need to be mousers and they have to have attitude. Lap dogs are nothing more than a cat in disguise... Big yards and Rotweillers make for great times

You don't want to drink tonight. That is when all of the "amateurs" do.

I'm thinking some exceptional cabernet suavignon's, single malt scotch, and Laurent Perrier Rose Brut Champagne accompanied by home made hors douevre's (sp?), an amazing slow cooked brisket, grilled chicken, rice with almonds, variety of salads for this who partake of that, and a dessert buffet of home made goodies.
