dog person all the way, Man's best friend,,
my cat i had as a child despised children, especially infants, i remember 15 years ago having to tear her off my nephew who was just crawling at the time, she just tackled him, latched on and and repeatedly bit and scratched him, not playfully might i add
other than that, we did love her, what happened to her? no joke, she was sick and one day she got out and we basically never saw her again, she probably did the natural thing and died somewhere (animals will find a place to hide and die if they are sick) but because i never was fully sure, i didnt really cry (also, we lived out on a Native Reservation, a Canadian one. it wasnt that big of a risk to let your cat outside)
i did get to hear when my dog died tho and i do have fits to this day (shouldnt call them fits but its been 7 years, i got to stop grieving soon)
