Can you be a cat person *and* a dog person?

[soulful dog]

I'm a dog person but quite like cats too..... they have their good points, just not as many as dogs.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog person

Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, elephants, I love them all.

Pretty much the only things I don't like are wasps and slugs, and at least I can outrun a slug.

Cats for me. Dogs are too slobbery, noisy and smelly - never been in a house yet where dogs lived that didn't have a nasty whiff.

One of the funniest sights of my youth was watching our Siamese chase next door's Old English Sheepdog down the road before ambling back a few minutes later. The dog returned about 10 minutes later, racing into its house like it's tail was on fire!

You don't own a cat.

A cat has staff.

Next door have a cat. It shoots in my yard. Down the road has a dog which craps on the slope out of the yard. I'd really make the owners pay in the only way that would make other owners sit up. I'd put down the animal and ban the owner from ever having anything as a pet, ever again.
Why do i have to clean up after their pet? Argh!

Rant over.

Unfortunately Orange is right, dogs do tend to smell, i know mine do

Always been a dog person, never particually liked cats, but having known a couple of friends with them, i could get used to the right one. Some are really cute...sadly most aren't.

A bit unfair putting the animal down. It's got to poo somewhere, and has no concept of your yard.

I've just got a dog at the moment but see no reason why humans, cats and dogs alike shouldn't all rub along together:

When did you last see a cat owner bagging their shoot?

 

[HLaB]

I was attacked by a dog as a kid and it took me a while to get over it but I still can't be bothered with them; I think its similar for me and cats, I can't be bothered with them either.

Their own, or their cats?

As someone previously mentioned, by nature, cats 'hide' their mess, burying it in sand, soil, gravel or shingle. They rarely just crap on a the lawn as they, like most humans, like privacy when going about their business. Some are more adept or conscientious than others.



And talking of waste disposal, is this the right place to mention 'travellers'?

Or any of the 'ordinary people' who think it's alright to just chuck their rubbish anywhere they like, who fill their bins to overflowing so that it blows all over the street, or think that old chicken carcasses and condoms count as 'recyclable'.

I think the human race could clear its own act up a bit, especially as most of our crap won't biodegrade for a long time. Animal poo is only a problem because we've created unatural environments to find it in, and object to it.
