I'm not trying to annoy people here or stir up any extremely opinionated views :p
Just wondering, do you like cats? Sure, kittens are cute and cuddly and a pain around wires... but cats are a whole different story. Some say that they are just 'leeches', getting free food, a place to stay and pampering, yet are disloyal (just lazy) unlike dogs. I wouldn't go as far as to agree with that, but they don't seem to be as 'nice' as dogs, for example. What do you think?

ah. the poll question should say '...?', not '.../'. apologies. word of advice, never clean the keys on a laptop :p
they will most likely not fit as they used to and the little metal clips that hold the keys down snap off VERY easily. i have no left control key or shift key, as the metal clips snapped off, and the right shift key is rather stubborn to press (that's why it ended up as / rather than ?)

I like cats, more so than dogs for a house pet.

They seem to be a bit cleaner than dogs do, so long as keep the litter box clean :) (Well, most cats)



Most dogs like/get along with just about everyone.

Cats on the other hand ... its alot harder to get one to show affection.
They like thier "Me" time which is fine by me. Im the same way, so for me, a cat is the perfect house pet.

I'm allergic to cat dander, so you already know my answer.

Not a huge cat fan, especially due to allergies.

George Carlin said it best.... "Cats look at you coldly, like they're testing new eyes.", "Cat's don't accept blame: Whats that? Not me. #$%!@ that. I'm a cat. Something break? Ask the dog..."

I think cats remember that they were once gods and they hate us for forsaking them for other gods. They are just waiting to take their revenge.

But they won't drool and slobber all over you like my friend's 120lb black Lab either.(it's a perfectly friendly and pleasant dog, if you are in the habit of wearing an apron or coveralls):p:D
