I love both cats and dogs They both can be sweet and cuddly, friendly, lovable. I had a pretty, adorable, sweet and gentle blond cocker spaniel when I was a little girl. When we moved further south we have to put him in the animal shelter. By then we had 10 or 12 years with him. Several years later after I graduated from high school, My mom wanted a cat. We got a gray and white Persian cat. She was delicate and shy, and I was afraid she would go after my parakeet. I got to know her, she turned out to be wonderful pet. She was sweet, cute, cuddly, lovable. I liked to pet her and play with her. I was very sad when she died. I had pet birds too. parakeets and cockatiels. My cockatiel died. Now I have no more pets. The house is a mess and my mom has some bad habits leading to the mess. She is working on cleaming it up. I would like to get another pet. Either a dog or cat. I would like a cat. They don't need to be walked every day. They don't bark loudly or growl at neighbors, visitors. They don't lick or drool on you, they don't mess up the house with bathroom fluids. Cats sit in your lap and like to be petted. Dogs can be playful but they can hurt people or children by accident. I liked having my cat snuggle in my bed when I had her. I know she hated baths but I was careful when I gave her a bath.
