Not Me! I always loved cats, dogs, horses, bunnies... any animal with fur
. But my husband is a cat convert. He never had animals until he met me, and he knew that he had to pass Sam & Patrick's test. They loved him and they were his babies too.

Now with Sarah & Max, he can't imagine life without his babies

There's no place like home
My husband told me on our first date that he wasn't crazy about cats - he was being polite since it was our first date. Hipster converted him over to the cat side about 17 years ago. He still claims to be a "dog-boy", but you should see him snuggling the cats (ha).

I'm a cat person who has been converted over to the dog-side. My first choice will always be cats, but dogs are big-dumb-lovable critters that will always have a place in my heart.

I love both! I've had great dogs and great cats in my lifetime. Dogs require a lot more attention and tho I would love to have one and so would my husband we know we work way too many hours to give a dog what it needs to be happy. The cats are our babies and well adapted to our work schedules. I did feel bad today that I worked 10 hours and the boys were very sticky when I got home. Couldn't be helped, and we've since been forgiven. My husband was all dog lover but our 12 year old tuxedo kitty Spud won him over and 1 year old Siam sealed the deal, he is Daddy's boy for sure. Someday we would love to add a dog to the family but for now we don't have the space or the time to give a dog all the attention and training that it needs.

I have never been a dog person. They have always freaked me out. My boyfriend, Aaron, is terribly allergic to cats. It took him a good 6 months of living with my Tobee to get used to him. Now he loves him almost (I said almost) as much as I do!

I am a convert. I never disliked cats, I had just always had dogs. After a divorce and then the kids growing up and leaving home I moved into an apartment. I know a lot of people who live in an apartment have a dog but it wasn't something I wanted to try especially since I work full time and now work 12 hour shifts. I had always had animals even as a kid though so I got a cat. Three months later I got my second kitten. I am now a cat lover.

I guess you could say I am. I still like my dogs better. (dont tell the kitties) but I never ever liked cats before Lily came to my family as an evil little feral kitten that we were supposed to socialize and then adopt her out. Well she never exactly got managable by anyone but me so she never left. She loves me though.

I've loved cats all my life...my parents got a kitten when I was just a couple of days old so I've always lived with cats.

I'm not a dog person...it's not that I don't like dogs...it's that I'm scared to death of them.
When I was in Kindergarden a German Shepard tired to have me for a snack, so I know that's where my fear comes from.
