I never had issues with cats. Dogs were always noisy, smelly, and messy. I'm a cat person living in a dog person world. Dogs everywhere I went today. Every store had a car with a dog in it. UGA paraphernalia everywhere. Billboards with dogs. They're just everywhere. There's even a thread here dedicated to dogs. I've always been a pull for the undercat kind of person. Dogs are mainstream and boring. I always go the different route. Hell, if I could, I'd get a monkey or a chimp. Primates rule the world. Some can even learn to communicate in a way we can understand.
