You didn't have a "both" catagory! I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 kittens. If I have to choose I would say that I'm a cat person. They are a lot of fun, not too much work and are great companions. I like being able to walk a dog, though, even though I don't do it often. When these dogs are gone I don't know that I'll get more dogs, but I said that about our first dog before we got a second one. Eventually I wouldn't mind more cats, but 6 animals is really plenty.
