    I see an awful lot of cat people here and am wondering if there is indeed a correlation between cat-love and prius ownership. Have I stumbled into enemy territory here? I am a dog person by default, I'm allergic to every kitty except the hello kitty variety. I direct all my cat-love to her hypo allergenic wonderfulness. :)

    I realize this topic is lacking in profoundness but this IS fred's house of pancakes after all....
    and besides

    I wanted and excuse to play with the poll feature and....

    if Daniel can set up his hooker fund, I can run a silly little people poll! :eek:

    Octavia....I am with you.....dogs rule!! But....my grandchildren have a new kitty and I have to admit it is cute. But left to my own devices, if my hubby wasn't allergic, there would be a dog here!!!

    Dog people don't need to make a big noise about owning a dog, no one hates dogs.
    Have you noticed not much noise is made about fish ownership either. You ever heard of a person complaining about neighbour's fish at large in the streets creating a nuisance?

    I had to find a good home for my girl (dog) for a number of reasons but despite being petless (mammalian) at this point in time, I am still more of a dog person than a cat person. Cats can't protect the goats/sheep and picturing a cat herding sheep is pretty laughable.:) Since both cats and dogs eat sheep and goats they both get a -1 and dogs still come out on top. :p

    I've been a cat person (they tend to adopt me), but I'm a dog person now. Zuli the Red Heeler is still a pup who needs lots of attention and exercise. Some days, I think kids were easier. At the moment she's passed out at my feet after a few hours in the park chasing her ball and a dozen other dogs. I'd better not close my eyes for very long, or I'll be having a nap too. :)

    I have NOT set up a hooker fund! Jayman did that. I just said I wanted to be emperor of the world, and I want a girlfriend. Jayman decided I needed to get laid and offered to start a fund (which I have no need of, since I've got plenty of money). But I repeat: I have not set up a hooker fund!

    Now, on the poll topic:

    I love cats. They're clean and intelligent and independent. That said, I like dogs if they're friendly and don't bark excessively and don't try to lick my face. I visited my cousin a while back, and she has three dogs, and when they all piled on me it was quite nice.

    And to repeat: I want a girlfriend, not a hooker.

    I was going to vote all 3, but you didn't allow multiple votes. We have 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 fourteen year old goldfish. :)


    @ Daniel: What about a hooker girlfriend? They need love too. :madgrin:

    I absolutely love dogs. I have had three Golden Retrievers thus far. I couldnt imagine my life with them. If I had the money to adopt/rescue several dogs, I would. But I just have my current one, which is just fine.

    Unfortunately for me... this Poll is skewed...

    Not enough responses to give an accurate rating... and there's no ability to opt out.

    No birds.
    No reptiles.
    No rodents.
    No bugs.
    No fossils or collectibles.
    And no people pets.

    My DH is a dog person. I'd fall into the I'll take all animals category (dogs, cats, horses, birds) but unfortunately I'm allergic to all of them. We were adopted by a 6wk old kitten that showed up under our shed 3 yrs ago. My doctor isn't thrilled, but my motto is now better living through drugs. ;)
