| Do we have any CAT people? I have always been a Cat person,,, My parents always had dogs, but I had all the kittys, they were mine. Then I moved out and lived in apartments and had cats. Then I bought my house and wanted a Yorkie,,, and OH how I love him,, But, am I still a cat person?? Or can you be both? I still have a cat.. Toto, he is a gray and white tiger cat, he is 6 years old, Before, I got Bailey, I had a long haired all black cat Maxie,, she was 16, I had to put her to sleep, she had Breast Cancer. ( that was a horrible day) But.. then I started my search for a Yorkie. So I still consider my self a "Cat Person" but,,,, I've defiantely been swayed. So who has cats out there? And -are you a dog or cat person?

I'm not really a cat person. Which is awful because my 9 year old would love to have a cat. My husband wants to get him one but, I've already told him the only way would be without a litter box. We did have one years ago when our older boys were still at home at I just can't or won't do the litter box thing again. I think cats are very beautiful just not for me.

| I have a cat. I've always had them growing up and hated them until recently. We had a very friendly cat when I was very young, but I don't remember her much. After her, we had a stray cat from my brother and another from the Humane Society that weren't very friendly (at least to me, they loved my mom!). Last summer, my aunt took in a stray pregnant cat and we ended up with one of the kittens. I fell in love with him and he slept with me every night. The momma cat was a bit "easy" and got out of my aunt's house while she was still nursing the first litter of kittens and got pregnant again. My mom got a kitten from the second litter and so did my bf. I love all three of them because they've been really well socialized from the beginning and love to be around us. As much as I love them, though, I am still a dog person. |

| I would consider myself a Cat person. I had cats all my life. I had been bitten by some large dogs, so I had a fear of big dogs. I had never really been around small dogs, until one of my good friends got a yorkie.........What can I say, I was smitten. It took me two years to decide I wanted one of my own, and boy am I glad I did. I love my little guy to death. However, I do also have a cat and I love him too. We rescued him from a shelter -- he has only 3 legs and 1/2 his tail, but he has the biggest heart. He cries when he is in a room alone and you talk to him and he comes to you meowing. It's really cute. My little yorkie loves to play with him too. I truly have the best of both worlds.

| If you want a good start with your kitty's adjustment , don't try to restrain it. 4 - 5 months old is the perfect age for easy adjustment . |

| I love kitties too! We have 2 big fat cats and we just love em to pieces. They are both 20 lbs each and they are very fluffy. One is black, Oliver, and the other is orange and white, Kaiser. Zeus loves to try and play with them, but they are very lazy and just look at him like he's crazy!!

Bailey trys to play with Toto too, but Toto isn't having it.. I wish they would be buddies, they can finally sleep in the same bed together, that took about a year, Bailey would chase him out, and the cat was there first! Poor kitty.

| I am a dog person at heart, however I love all animals. I have 5 cats now. One inside and the rest out. Hubby just rescued a very, very young kitten recently. It surely wouldn't had lasted another day by itself. But it is fat and happy now.

| I love cats! I had two and one died but I still have my main man Vito. Brutus loves him but Vito doesn't want any part of him. I don't see them playing together anytime soon either. The cat spends all time upstairs and waits for me to go to bed to show him affection.

But there's this little kitten at my grandpa's farm that never was chased by dog, because he was shut up until recently. Well when him and logan first met logan walked up and gave him a kiss on the nose and then they sniffed each other. Well the next time they met they immediately began playing it was so cute. Oh yeah I'm a kitten person, kitten pictures, figurines, ect. I like cats fine, but i just think kitten's are so cute. Logan playing with his kitten buddy

| I am definitely a cat person. Love them! but not to the point where I would have more than 2 in the house. I have one now, Lucie - about 20 lbs. She is a long haired diluted calico. She absolute does not like Millie and would be more than happy to see her go! Oh well, what are you gonna do |

| I have always been a cat person. I had a cat named Barney(12 yrs old) but, I had to put him down last February. He had kidney failure. He only weighed 10 lbs. He was the sweetest cat. He is very missed. Now we have a 7 mo old named Cuddles. She weighs 8 lbs. She is a calico(grey, white and Khaki). She is very sweet. She gets along great with Cowboy. I got her about a month before I got Cowboy and they get along great.
