Both

Dogs or cats?

I love both! At one point I had 5 dogs and 6 cats! Loved them all.

Dogs are loyal. Easily trained and give unconditional love.

Cats are independent and fearless. Male cats tend to be more affectionate. My females were hunters. I saw one catch and eat a squirrel. My male cats were kind of lazy.

My dogs would spend the day in an acre of fenced yard. They had a dog door into a mud room in the house. When I would come home at night, I’d let them in. They would race to the kitchen and sit in order and give me their paw for a cookie. After the cookie, they would go to the family room for tv time. They all had their spots. When the tv went off they all went to their bedroom. Excellent! Well behaved and trained!

The cats would wander in and out of the house. Some liked it outside. Some never wanted to go out. Couldn’t train one! But they were fun to watch and I could cuddle with them.
