I'm a cat person. I like that they have a certain level of independence, but are still more-than-willing to come sit in your lap or lie down next to you in bed. Plus, they're far less work to take care of.
Dogs, to me, seem somewhat needy. I still find them adorable, and they're certainly always "there for you", but I'm not willing to put in the time and effort required to keep them healthy and happy.
Oh and I've had both, and yes I did take care of my dogs, but they took up so much time and money.

Cats for sure. I can't stand most dogs... all mine have sucked. Plus they like to run away. :/
With cats, I just have to look for their ideal lounge spot when I want to find them. My cats also don't like the outdoors, so I never have to worry about them running off.
I prefer owning cats, but I like dogs a lot. My cat is pretty dog-like as far as his temperament and size goes, so maybe I have the best of both worlds lol
Cats, Dogs are way too needy and in your face every two seconds. When a Cat comes over to see you its more special, Dogs come when ordered, Cats choose....
i love whenever relatives or whatever come over with their dogs, but i don't think i could look after one very well. i prefer cats because they require nowhere near as much effort, they're not as needy, and they tend to flip out over minute things, which is always great to watch. plus, they're cooler.
Do cops train cats to hunt down criminals? When was the last time you saw a bomb-sniffing cat? It's commonplace to see a seeing-eye cat leading a blind person into the grocery store, I'm sure.
Dogs rule.
Full disclosure: all my dog really does is bark and hide, but she still rules.
Liking cats has been beaten into me, certainly didn't come natural. I didn't want a cat, but I got stuck with them after my marriage failed. The dogs were good, and I miss the other cat, Stimpy. But the one still alive(has cancer now) has long turned into my best friend. She is a demanding little thing, but is always there for me. A bit like a dog, really. When she finally passes, I may want to get a Maine coon. But I do hate losing her.
My current dog, a black lab with something else mixed for that long hair, is 13 years old. I've had him since before I met my ex-wife. He's having some problems with his shoulder now, and often wakes up snorting loudly like he has a cold or something (he doesn't), but for 13 he's not too bad off. Going to be hard to see him go, however. I'm not looking forward to it.
Hah. I was on the phone with my mother yesterday saying that when Bairn (my dog) dies I was just going to get two goldfish and name them both 'Sparky', because I won't be able to tell them apart.
I don't own any pets, however I don't like dogs because they keep walking near me and drooling and stuff. Cats doesn't bother me at least and they are very independent, sort of like myself.

You've NEVER had a cat drool on you? Have you ever put your finger in its ear and wiggled it around? Instant cat drool.
@Fajita_Jim: No the last cat I dealt with was when I got a broom stick and poked it when I was little until that damn thing kept hissing at me. They lived in the basement and they weren't home.
Neither. Not that I don't like them, I love them! And therein lies the problem. You grow so attached to them that when they die it hurts like hell! I know that's the cycle of life, but it's just too painful for me. Therefor I will never purchase a pet ever again.
I personally hate cats, but that's mostly because i picked on up and it tried to scratch my throat as thought it was going for the kill. So yeah I'm a dog person.
