I have a cat and a dog. I definately relate better to dogs though. If I had to choose only one pet, there would be no question which I would choose.. a dog or many dogs!! My cat is a 12 year old tabby, Lily, she is a beautiful cat, but she is so independant, it drives me crazy, if I go out (she must live outside, my DH is allergic) to pick her up, she jumps out of my arms almost immediatly. I must sit down and let her decide if she will sit on my lap!!! My dog, part golden retriever, Rosie, is a love, she will follow me around just to be in the same room. I would love to have a couple more dogs.
