imhooking -> another school question. (11/30/2009 5:20:01 AM)
dog person or cat person and why? i'm doing a comparision paper for school and need some quotes as to why you prefer one over the other. it will add a realness to the progect. also, if i could have a vanila name to put with your quote that would be awesome. it doesn't even have to be your own. thanks ever so much, ~maranda~

Hello maranda, I'm a cat person. I live a life of travel, and a dog is much too much work. They require attention at regular intervals, and with the life that I've chosen, I can't give them that. Cats on the other hand can be left for hours - even a couple of days - at a time. good luck on your paper, soon to be published in The Kinky Gazette, "Pussies versus the Big Dogs.... Who Comes Out on Top" sunshine (a perfectly fine vanilla name if I do say so)

My mother always said that you can judge a person by the way your dog reacts to them and vise versa. I have never found that statement to be untrue. angi

I like both. I guess I swing both ways...

I had a dog and cats when I had a house. After the divorce, I got custody of the cats and my ex got the dog. I miss running in the park with him. (The dog, not my ex.) Cats are easier in my small apartment. If I get a house again, I will get another dog. I suppose like Steven, I swing both ways... Alana

I'd love to have a dog.. probably a Greyhound but I'm not that picky... But with my work schedule and the fact I dont have a fenced yard, dogs are pretty much off the table.

I like dogs. They're actually glad to see you. If I wanted something around the house that doesnt care as long as I come up with the food and put up with crap (litterbox or otherwise) I'd get married.

Hi, Lynn Mastley is the name, and I love Dogs!!!!! I usually have 2 or 3 but have had as many as 5 at a time. Right now, I am dogless, until I finish some home projects. I like dogs because: 1. They are cheerful. 2. They think people are GREAT, and even if you discipline them, they will still love you! 3. Most of my dogs are medium dogs, which means they have lots of energy for walking, and insist on it. Which means when I have dogs, I have to walk them twice a day. I was NEVER overweight when I had dogs. 4. Dogs are territorial, so when I had them, I was never worried about burglars and such. My dogs always alerted me if someone was on the property. I'm single, so this is a big big deal to me. Unlike a gun, which will shoot anything it's pointed out, my dogs would never mistakenly bite ME. 5. Ditto, I travelled with one dog on trips in my car. I'd have him in my hotel room or with me in my tent. Good for safety. People are cautious around dogs they do not know, because we all know some dogs will bite. Great security! Also, he helped scare the crazies away. 6. Dogs are great conversation pieces. 7. Children like dogs, so it is a good way to get a child to talk with you and be interested in you. 8. Dogs love the outdoors. They love rolling in crap, literally. Which means they are exuberant. I love it! 9. They can jumpp in the car on their own, til they get old anyway. 10. If they have big teeth, they look handsome and intimidating. Many of my dogs had big teeth (german shepherd and german shepherd mixes! lab and lab mixes) Cats are good, too, but dogs, dogs are to die for!

LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: another school question. (11/30/2009 7:17:40 AM)
I love them both, but am probably partial to cats as I have had many many more cats in my life than dogs. Cats are easier if you have to be away from home for any amount of time, such as going to work & like that. I most recently had a small dog who I took to work with me. I'm a long-haul truck driver so he was able to be with me on the truck. We were together pretty much 24/7 for more than 3 years. I probably wouldn't have adopted him if I hadn't been able to give him that much attention. He was feral when I got him & it took being together that much in order to tame him & teach him how to act in civilization as an owned dog. [:)] Cats, on the other hand, can be very loving & wonderful to sleep with & they will put up with a lot of alone time. My cats would greet me at the door when I got home. I had one who would sit in the window watching for me to walk down the street so that he could be at the door to greet me. Cats can be trained, contrary to popular belief & they are not as aloof as some people seem to think they are. But I would much rather take the dog for a walk than clean a catbox.

I am definitely a dog person. Dogs is pack animal and as such will enjoy their place in the structure as a family (even a one person one). They are typically protective of the alpha persons and most dogs will appear very loving. I have always been attracted to the big floppies (Sct Bernard, Pyrenaerian and New Foundlanders). Their apparent clumsiness is false as I have seen them with babies all over the floor and never witness one of them as much as step on one. Their gentleness and loyalty is legendary. What I have seen my kids do to them, always made me say if the dog bit the kid I would hit the kid. But it has never been just close to reality. Today I have a teenage daughter, who loves straying on her horse, and I feel perfectly contend, knowing if anybody wanted to harm her, they would face a raging monster defending her. When she is here the dog chooses her as the alpha and never strays from her side and when she is gone I am the master which it loves being next to. Coming home and being greeted by her is always a pleasure. She hangs around the courtyard mostly when alone, but when my car is ½ mile away she is off to her greeting spot in the driveway. Cats on the other hand is solitary hunters and when in a family mostly wants to be the alpha. They can be loving, but on their premises. Loyalty and protectiveness is seldom seen in a cat. I have always said you own your dog. Your cat owns you and tolerate you as a caregiver. Put in the BDSM context the dog is the sub to its owner, the cat the master to its sub.

My cats always greet me at the door, and demand attention and loving before they demand food.

They say that ...... When you feed a dog they think "This person feeding me must be a God". When you feed a cat they think "This person is feeding me, I must be a God". I do love both cats and dogs. I think both bring so much happiness to a persons life, and being greedy I want to have as much happiness as humanly possible. Kamile

I like both, although dogs are like toddlers that never grow up... you ALWAYS have to take care of them. Cats on the other hand, as has been said, can fend for themselves for longer periods of time with a full bowl of dry food and an automatic watering dish. More than one friend of mine has had cats that prefer to go outside instead of using an inside litter box, and with a small pet door installed, you don't even have to worry about the litter box getting too yucky for them to use it while you're away. And cats talk to me. I'm da cat whisperer. Cali

As a favor for a couple of friends, I would take care of their dogs, while they would go on vacations. This is a first time for me as I never had dogs when I was a child so this was a new experience for me. When I would go to bed, these dogs would come into my bedroom, lay down on the floor and sleep with me. I would have to go for the dogs because I enjoy petting them and that makes me happy.

Dogs and horses. Highly allergic to cats. Plus cats are more aloof. Dogs and horses are animals that live in groups, unlike foxes or tigers. And dogs and horses are fine having someone else be in charge. "If you get to thinking you're a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else's dog around." ~Will Rogers Celeste

thank you everyone. i will be working on this tonight and hopefully i will have it posted in a few hours, if not by tomarrow night for sure. ~maranda~

Hierodule -> RE: another school question. (11/30/2009 6:39:28 PM)
Neither. I'm a house rabbit person! Once I met my first house rabbit I realized that I relate to gentle prey animals more than I do preditors, no matter how domesticated. rabbits are so sweet and affectionate once you gain their trust. I might consider a dog in the future if I ever have the space. But it would have to be an Excellent Italian Greyhound...
