both.

I would love a dog, but it's not practical working long and iregular hours living in the city - if I move to the country at the end of the summer (as I hope), a dog is definitely on the cards.
Meanwhile, two nearly 16-year-old offical cats. Plus a young tom that's trying to adopt me (my two elderly spinsters react to him as though he's Marlon Brando in ' The Wild One' - and he is pretty much a feline equivalent).

I always wonder why people think the two are mutually exclusive.

I rather like Guinea Pigs. I have 2 cats, had 3, and had 7 dogs (simultaneously with the 3 cats)

I'm with Timmy. Why restrict yourself to just one? Having both a dog and cat is great. You've got the more playfullness and innocent love from the dog and a more calm, tranquil thing from the cat but just as much love.

my daughter says "dad, i want a kitty Sad <----pouty face" and so i CAVED under the pressure, and said "ok sweetie, i'll get u a cat." this kitten has been nothing but T-R-O-U-B-L-E. it eats through cords, plays on the kitchen table, counters, candy bars, paperwork, LAMPS get knocked over, glass objects get BROKEN, and my new PUPPY is AFRAID OF THE CAT. i throw the d*mn thing outside every now and then, and haley's all like "DAD, why is my cat outside?" and i'm saying "oh i dont know honey, let me go get it....... .... stupid frickin cat mumble mumble...."
what am i going to do?? i swear this cat is the devil incarnate. it hates me. it chewed up my favorite pair of boxers this morning! (no joke, it wasn't the dog, i caught the dumb cat in action.)

so if u guys ask me, i am definitely not a cat person. especially after this mess i've gotten myself into. why am i such a softy?

Kittykats...... Well one kittykat...... Definately.......



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
