I love them all, cats and dogs. If I am reading the scoring correctly, I think I would be a 5.

Don't have a dog now because cannot have one where I live and don't have the time needed.

For me, I'd say a 4 or 5. I love cats the best, but dogs are a close second. Personaly though, I love all animals. (except spiders, but they're not an animal I dont think.....)

well.... Lets see
... I looove cats. I still have and will always have my Patches back home in IL. So, I would say an 9 for cats because I will always be a catlover first and foremost but.... My parents bought home a cutie patootie puppy they named her Cocoa because she is the color of cocoa ( but they dont know what breed she is) so my love for dogs is a 6.

A spider is not an animal. It is allright to say...ICKY!

I cant say that I like cats more than dogs. It is just that as a appt renter cats have fit into my life style better, and thus I am now much more of a cat person. Where I live now dogs are allowed. I do enjoy watching the people walk there dogs.

Oh.I forgot....I give dogs a 36 and cats a 40.

I am porbally a 2 I don't hate dogs at all, I just don't really like them that much. There are SOME dog's that I like, but I would much rather be arround cats. They are so much eaiser, smater, cleaner, and less distructive.

5 for me. I love dogs and cats pretty equally although it seems like sometimes I am more "into" dogs and sometimes cats.
I also love most other pets, I've owned a lot, I think my favorites besides dogs and cats are rats and ferrets.

I would have to say I'm a 4 on this one...I definitely enjoy my cats more than I do the dogs...not saying I don't love dogs, it's just that if I could live with one or the other (or had to for some reason) I would choose cats over dogs...

Really?! Wow, I'll have to remember that. But really.....I love almost all animals--except spiders!

I'll always be a cat person first, but dogs (especily shih tzus!) are a close second.

Hmm... hard to say... maybe 60% cat, 40% dog? or 50/50...

I like cats and dogs for different reasons..
Cats: low maintinence, very cuddly (if it's the right cat), can leave them home all day w/o worring about letting them out, not much "training" necessary. virtually odorless (the animal, not the litter).

Dogs: Good training prospects (obedience, agility), can take them outside w/ you (I like having my dog for walks), understand "rules" (i.e. don't come in the kitchen when I'm cooking, etc.), can be good for watchdog / protection (i.e. my dog also acts as a deterrant on walks, dog will bark to let you know people are outside).

But there are cons to each...

Cats- lack of understanding of "rules", can't really take them for walks, don't act as watchcats, etc. in any way (at least for most), Have to deal with more in-grained "behavior" issues (i.e. they MUST scratch, etc.)

Dogs- High maintinence, must take out often, not-so-much with cuddling / affection (esp. with a dominant breed / dog). That smell...

I don't know, I guess I'm both, but I like most animals...excepting spiders and large snakes.... I will most likely have both most of my life, although I may go only cat when I move out of my current residence (when the family dog dies).

My answer to this question would be 2 for dogs, 8 for cats. Some dogs are okay, but many seem a little too skittish and jumpy for my liking. Cats seem calmer and more stable to me, and are lower maintainence than dogs. Plus, my Princess is *terrified* of them!
I've seen her growl at dogs several times her size.
