I like cats. They don't require a ton of maintenance, but the only problem I have is that I've never really had a cat that quite liked me. :/ I've always wanted a cat that would come curl up with me. But those cats are rare, it seems. The cat at my mom's just hides from everyone, but he's really the prettiest cat ever. Oh. I hate kittens. They're so frisky and they wanna eat your feet, and I'm not really a playful person. So I don't have the time to play, nor do I want them play biting/scratching me.
I do love dogs though. I grew up more with dogs than cats. So if anything, they're just barely behind cats. If I had a nice lax, good looking dog, that'd work for me too. :) But I just like that cats don't require as much as dogs, haha. Like I said, I'm not playful at all, so me and a playful dog wouldn't be a great match.
