Have you always


Have you always been a cat person? or are you a dog person with the cat thrown in for good measure? or are you purely 50/50

Re: Have you always


I was a dog person years ago, we had two poodles when I lived at home. When they died I didn't have any pets for a while...... eventually got my beloved ginger boy, Sam and I was hooked on cats from then.....

I still like dogs (especially a certain white boxer!) but I am more a cat person now.......

Re: Have you always


We have always had both, and when most of my friends were talking about how many kids they wanted when they grew up, I always wanted a houseful of animals - was talking to someone in dog rescue the other day, and have asked if I coudl be considered as a fosterer for a quiet lap dog that woudn't require a lot of exercise, and they agreed. I do love dogs, but i am not convinced I am dedicated enough for one, or whether Pebbles will tolerate one!! I also have to change my ideas, as the dogs I like aren't what woudl fit in with my house etc, so I have to go for something rather small!!

Re: Have you always


I am 100% cat...grew up in a cat household, all my relatives had cats; was bitten badly by a dog when I was 11 or 12 & had to start the painful rabies shot series until the police located the dog and found he was current on his vaccinations. Am not exactly afraid of dogs, but am uneasy and uncomfortable around them to this day. Sorry, dog people....

Re: Have you always


As a child we only ever had dogs! When i was very small we had two Jack Russells (Tina & Blackie), then as i got a bit older we had a lovely Doberman bitch called Zoe. It was so sad when she died and my mum promised 'NO MORE PETS' coz it was so sad when they died. The house was so quiet without a dog and it didnt feel homely anymore. Anyway, a year later we got Ben, a Rotweiller, who is now three!

I only ever saw cats when i was at my nans, but i have always been animal mad. It wasnt until we got Oli that i actually had a cat of my own. But he is lovely!

Re: Have you always


I was always a dog person. But now I would have to say I'm 50/50.

Re: Have you always


I had both a dog and a cat as a child. Have had cats all my adult life and dogs in the last few years. I would say that I am definitely slightly more a cat person....
