I prefer dogs only because I am allergic to cats. I have nothing against cats in general, but I've never been able get close to one because of extreme allergy. But I love pets, my favourite pet being snakes or reptile, then dogs ^_^

I actually like to have pets around the house because they're good companions to have if you're living alone.

As for the poll itself, I prefer dogs over cats, even though I have nothing against them, because I find dogs easier to get along with. Some breeds are playful and they can be loyal in general.

I have 2 pets, a cat and a dog. The dog is a family pet, while the cat is mine. I think pets are very important and nessesary. I view my pets as family members. I think it's important for people to have pets so they will continue to have love for animals. I like cats better personally, they are more calm and quiet and generally more easy to take care of.

I prefer Cats over Dogs as cats don't bark when there's a guy at the gate. Plus cats ca wander around the Neighbourhood, doing their own thing. I prefer Reptiles and Invertrebrates over any mammal as they are easier to handle, don't crap on your carpet and require little other than feeding and a little maintenance every now and again.

Never had pets growing up due to my dad being allergic to dogs, and my sister to cats and other small animals, so they obviously aren't necessary (even though I really wanted a pet).

When I get my own place though, I definitely do plan on getting a pet, but I don't really know which kind I would get. I like that dogs are very loyal and playful, but sometimes they can get noisy and high-maintenance. Cats on the other hand are usually quiet and lower maintenance, but are sometimes independant. If I were to pick right now, I would probably end up choosing a cat, but I would love the opportunity to have either one.

I want a dog soooooooooo badly. It'd be so playful and fun and huggable and like a best friend that slobbers all the time :D My friends with dogs assure me this isn't the case, but I still maintain it'd be amazing to have a canine companion. But yeah at the moment I have a rabbit since my mum's allergic to animals so it had to be something small, and whilst I do love my rabbit, I don't think I would keep him if someone offered to take him. I'd miss him and all, but he doesn't get the care/attention he needs whilst in my care and I feel bad for him, but I don't have the time to fix it right now D: Pokemon forums > bunnies ofc

I have 1 dog, a bedlington terrier who's the scruffiest most cutest thing ever. I don't think they're necessary. The company is nice, though. And it's dogs for me, mainly because Cats idk I just don't like them. I find them cute though, they're not as loyal as dogs, I know they can be loyal because I've seen cats who respond to their owners but dogs > cats.

Like dogs and cats alike. It really depends on their own personality and behaviour, and breed probably. I don't like small dogs at all, I'm all for the big ones like Husky or St. Bernard, etc. Love cats, and I like other pets too like reptiles, though I've never had one before. I wouldn't know how to take care of one, and I don't really know if I could provide the right care anyway, even if I knew how. Maybe I'll get an Iguana when I grow up haha.

This sums up my feelings very aptly. I've had both a dog and a cat, and they've both been great in their own ways. The cat was great due to his soft fur, gentle meow and ability to lower my heart rate thus lowering the chance of heart-attacks in an 8-year-old! The dog is great due to her loyalty, ability to chase away small children from the house and her love of me rubbing her belly! I could only have one or the other at a time, however. There was a period of about 3 months when the cat and the dog lived co-dependently and that was a stressful time for all involved... never again!

I like cats and dogs; I currently have two canine companions, both of whom I consider my own because I'm the one who takes care of them, plus I'm the closest to them. :P They're really great to have, and are always there for us. Funny thing is that they have opposing personalities: the older-by-a-few-months is really courageous and would chase practically any moving object/living thing; the younger one is more of timid but will still bark at strangers. They're both sweet, too, and are always there for me... us. :3
I do want to have a cat, too, but my parents won't allow it; Mom says their... 'dirt' smells so bad, and Dad... well, he doesn't even accept my dogs. :/

I love both dogs and cats, but cats just a little bit more. I have two cats and I think I'll always prefer them because they're far lower maintenance than dogs. They're aloof and indifferent and don't wet themselves with joy when they see you, sure, but they take a lot less looking after lol. And I find them equally as cute :3

I love cats, dogs, and most other mammalian pets. I think most people have some type of allergic reaction to animals; get over it and just pet them! XD

Well, I'm allergic to nearly every type of animal, so needless to say I don't have any pets and I can't really see them as necessary since I've gotten by without any. With that said, I'd really like to have a cute fluffy kitty if I could...

I think pets aren't necessarily to a household but add a very unique dynamic that can't be replicated any other way. Dogs and cats have personality so different from human's and I think they are a great addition to any household. I think they're especially good for kids because they teach them to love and care for another living creature.

I got my cat when I was 8 or 9 I think, and the attachment was almost immediate. I loved that guy. Although I kinda treated him like a dog: I smothered him with love. I didn't realize cats are much more solitary and he probably didn't appreciate my constant attention-giving. But I loved him so I don't regret it. I now understand that sometimes he'd much rather be left alone.

I'm sure I will get another pet sometime later in life.

I prefer cats, I have been a cat lover for many years now. My grandma has a dog (a chihuahua), my mom owns two cats (one had a litter of 6 kittens about two months ago) - and my mom also has a ferret.

Cats are quiet most of the time (except when the mom cat is calling the kittens - or when the kittens want food). and my three favorite Pokemon are cats as well.

Necessary? - yes, after a while they become part of the family, its not the same if they aren't around.

Cats in for my vote.

Pets arent necessary but they are great to have for company and companionship. I love pets.

For the poll, I go with dogs all the time with that question. I never liked cats.

I love animals. C: I have a cat right now, but I've had dogs in the past! They're cute and different from cats. Idk why people can try to make sweeping generalizations about cats vs. dogs, there's a cat out there for everyone and there's a dog out there for everyone. :3
