1. Sorry. Your premise is wrong.
The two are mutually exclusive.

:D

2. I am not fond of cats, either.
They can turn on you in a second. Claws hurt. :(

3. That is possible,
usually, only when a person fails to understand felines!

4. Well, you like dogs and reptiles, so I guess that can even out the cat
thing.

:P

5. I posit that you just haven't met the right cat yet.
Inside every person, down deep, is a cat lover. It just takes the right cat to find that part of yourself. ;-)

6. Are you sure?
You don't like them even a smidgeon?

Because they're really quite nice. But if you're allergic, that's okay. We understand. If you like dogs, that's okay as well.

<Quick, guys! Sharpen your claws--don't let them get away!!!>

7. Responding to most of you:
No, I've had many, many cats who in the past, I've loved deeply...But, as I've aged, I have realized I'm not a cat person..and I'm ok with that.. :)

11. Yes, on both counts...
I have so many wonderful memories of my past cats...Pirate, Butter, Turtle, Sam...and my Mom's #1 cat, who's still with us after 18+ years, Momma cat. :D

But yeah, i like dogs...can't help it. :)

12. I like dogs and cats
but now that I have 2 grown cats, hubby won't let me get a dog (I sound like a 10 year old when I say that, don't I?). If I'd only gotten them all at the same time! It is possible, if puppies and kittens grow-up together, to have both cats and dogs!

14. My mom and dad have both
1 Siberian Husky, female, 6 yrs old
1 Alaskan Husky, male, 5 yrs old
1 American Eskimo, female, 13 yrs old

and at least 8 cats (rural area)

As well as my two Leopard geckoes and my ornery 6-7 yr old male Iguana... :D

Mom and Dad are good people :)

18. 'fraidy cat, you'
I'm afraid not. If you don't like cats, then you haven't opened your eyes to what can be experienced by a creature that looks at you.....and thinks it is smarter than you.....and you feel you have to prove it.
