Cats or Dogs?

My cat has this annoying habit of zig zagging 3 feet in front of me and then suddenly stopping, every time I try to walk past she'll speed up and cut me off.

Yeah I have a similar problem. Especially with my most vocal one, he will walk in front of me then slow down so I always have to kick him in his butt so that he keeps walking. He just loves being a little annoying bastard.

Also all these cat and dog stereotypes getting thrown around end differing depending on the specific cat/dog.

Some of them live up to their stereotype while others don't.

The one stereotype I hate about dogs and it's always been with dogs I have experienced is how needy and all over you then need to be constantly. It annoys the shit out of me. I have a cat that is similar and I wish she would just stop.

Based off of stereotypes, dogs are for people that are needy and want that constant attention while cats are for people that like pets that do their own thing and are more on the independent side.

Um, look at my avatar?

Our family has always had either a dog or a cat, quite often both, but after we had to have our last dog put to sleep right around the time Karen got sick I said we wouldn't have another. The pain was too raw and I knew having a big clumsy (or small yappy, though we always went for big: Collie, Labrador, whatever the hell Teddy was, like a cross between a bat and a pig but so cute!) dog in the house --- no, we NEVER left any of our dogs in the garden, they always lived indoors with us --- would be dangerous with her balance beginning to go. Plus with looking after her I would have no energy or time to devote to a dog, and we all know they need so much of both.

So we have cats now, and have had for about the last ten years or so. I love dogs though: if I'm out on the street and see someone walking a dog I'll usually see if I can pet it and maybe talk to them about it. Mind you, if I see a cat out on the street I always try to make friends with it too.

And people who think cats ain't loyal? On her return from hospital the three of them took it in shifts to always sleep on her bed, and you can say they were just enjoying the warmth of the bed but I know they were watching over her.
