My old man cat is the lap sitter-lover. My 5 year old is still "the terrorist". I have to keep my shoes put away and the closet door closed or I'll get teeth marks in my leather! And he sometimes has to go to "prison" (just shut him in another room) if I'm laying quilt blocks out on the floor. I don't care, I love them both!
But my dog, well, just don't ask me to choose between him and my husband!
All shelter animals!
