But are you only a cat person? A cat AND dog person? A cat and another type of animal person? Not an animal person, but merely someone who tolerates cats?
I'm curious!
I'm a cat person 200%. I wouldn't say I'm also a dog person, but I do like them for short periods of time
I consider myself just an animal person in general (with a special emphasis on felines), because, given the chance, I'd own a farm full of critters

I'm definitely a cat person, first and formost
I'm also a fish person


After than, i think I can definitely say i'm NOT a dog person, NOT a kid person, NOT a bird person, NOT a monkey person, NOT an elephant person
the list goes on and on

At the kitty's beck and call
Cat person first and foremost in terms of animals I would want to share my home with.

I love animals generally though and would hate to see one hurt, mistreated or even just sad. We have chickens too and I love to watch them poddling around the garden, but I don't feel close to them in the same way that I feel close to the kitties.

Cats are number one, but also love dogs (had a few as pets and just met niece's new acquisition, a 4month old brindled great dane), and have owned one guinea pig (Gertrude).

I doubt I will ever have a reptile or amphibian as a pet. Birds - maybe, but I prefer to watch the native songbirds (less care involved!
). Have had fish, but not a favorite.

I put all animal person. Cats are by FAR the best, but I go nuts looking and playing with all of the other critters too. I like a lot of dogs, however that still leaves a whole bunch that I DON'T like! Sad to say a lot of dogs just seem too disgusting, large, and scraggly for me. But, all in all I'm an all kinds of animals person.

Basically all animals, though cats are way ahead of their nearest contender, dogs.

I grew up with dogs, was a devoted dog person, would have had one when I got my first pet "on my own", but I couldn't give it an appropriate lifestyle. So I sought an animal who would not be disadvantaged by my lifestyle, who would nonetheless care whether I was home or not, and with whom I could have a real relationship. Enter Shasta [RB], who taught me about cats, and I have never looked back. I don't ever want to be without at least one cat in my life.

One day, when/if I have an appropriate lifestyle, I'd love to have a dog, too, but till then I'm happy enjoying other people's dogs.

Definitely a cat person. I love dogs too, and am hoping to convince the landlord to let us get one. And I love ferrets, fish, anything furry.

OHHH! And hippos!! There was a special on the discovery channel last night about Hippos and I wanted to just go up to them and hug them all!

Exactly. I am most certainly going to say cats are my favorite animals, and they are the BEST!
They are what I mostly want to have in my home. But I love all animals. I enjoy small animals like rats, and mice, and I like some special dogs out there.

There's no place like home
I'm pretty much a cat and dog person. Even though cats are so much easier to take care of with a busy life, I went without dogs for about a year and had to adopt them again. So I give up going out after work to go home and walk the dogs, but what the heck! I love the way they express their unconditional love (more obvious than cats) and they are easier to read. If I was forced to chose between the 2, I would pick a cat over a dog but it would be a close call.

I put cat and other, though I love all animals, I am a huge cat lover, and the others I love, but not as much as cats. Cats are my favorite, but I love all the other animals, too.

I grew up with all sorts of pets, and I enjoyed it! I do have a slight preference for cats, but I do love dogs too, and I could see myself having one. However, Scott is strictly a cat person (he likes their independence). He DID say we could/ should get one or two more kitties in the future when we have a bigger place, graduate, and get real jobs. We also currently have a 30 gallon fish tank with various types of goldfish (which should be fun to move).

I'd have to say ALL animals person - I currently have three kats, one guinea pig, a 5-gal aquarium and a 4.5ft ball python living under my roof. I've never been a big dog-lover but my mom's pup is such a sweetie, and the more time I spend with friends' dogs and learn to understand them, the more I grow to love them


I've had hamsters and gerbils before, too (and a bat, but he was an unwelcome guest!
)

I am without a doubt an animal person. I can only have cats right now, but when the time presents itself (when I buy a home...) I will rescue several dogs immediately. I love dogs and cats equally, and would share my home with them in an instant. I would also love to own a farm (with someone else doing all the work) so I can spend my time playing with the animals.

Best-
Michele

I love all animals... from afar.


Cats are my favourite, but if I lived in the country and had my own property, my place would surely become a haven for strays of all species.
