31. Well, err, I've got four fish -- two goldfish and two white clouds.
They'll vote in solidarity with their brethren, who refrain from fishing them out of the tank with their claws.

he doesn't like riding in cars. He's a nervous wreck. So we drape a blanket over the passenger seat and he sits under it like a little tent.

19. Well, my Golden Retriever was the sweetest animal in the world!
Unfortunately, the ex-husband got custody of him. He brought the dog to the marriage, I was a mere stepmother (but not a wicked one!)

Then there's Miss Patty: a Bombay kitty who is so affectionate, so lovey-dovey she must have human contact. She cuddles up next to a person, purrs herself to sleep, and has the lushest fur you've ever stroked. I had her for 5 years, but now she lives with my dad and has kept him company since Mom died. She's kept him occupied and far less lonely.

So I can't choose. Love them both for different reasons!

43. The puppy is cute as all get out but she never shuts up.
She needs constant attention. Cats just don't care. I have 4 cats. Once the pup gets a little bigger and I can take her out and all things might change but right now she's more work than my kids were.

50. I can't. I'm bi-petual. There's a Lab here with her head on my leg
and a cat trying to sit on the keyboard because it's warm, with five other cats trying to bump her.

Maybe if you asked my friends, they'd say I'm a dog person because my dog is always with me. But, if you come to the house, you'd think I'm a cat person because they own the place, we just rent here. :shrug:

58. My three dogs made me vote for cats!
Not sure why my dogs have such a fondness for cats.......

....squirrels.......

birds....

......pretty much anything which moves......

or not....

as in the poo of another dog.....

......or a deer or a cow....

!!!1!1!

Guess that's why we call 'em dogs!

(BTW: For the record, I luv em both equally well but I confess I do not miss liter boxes.... even though I suspect that my dogs would find a liter box fascinating.... especially one in need of...um...oh never mind).

Blue for cats and red for dogs on a DU poll is obviously in favor of cats.

I demand a new poll using apolitical colors.
