It is a common question...probably one of the most profound after all, to ask whether someone is a Cat or a Dog Person.
I remember I was confused when people in films or books asked that question, as I considered both of them cute and good pets; however, now that I have lived with a cat in a house for a while, I can say without any doubt, that I am definitely a Dog Person. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind cats but compared to dogs I find them slightly arrogant, passive, boring and I hate their claws. All my jeans have been destroyed and that was when the cat wanted to be tender. Anyhow, we had cats when I was a child and then swapped to dogs when I was about six or seven. Timmy was our first dog and he was simply adorable. As everything my family does, we decided for the tough option - we didn't get a little puppy from a well-bred background without any terrible traumas involved, but went to the animal shelter and got Timmy (formerly known as Axel), who had been hit by his previous owner. He was still very young, but sometimes reacted aggressively when we cornered him (even if we only wanted to stroke him). When my hamster died, I got a pup (I know, I am good at making deals, I should do it professionally). She is Lilly and simply beyond amazing. She was the cutest puppy ever seen and I loved her fluffy ears and her little Mohawk on the back of her neck. But enough of rambling about how awesome my dogs are (we got Sofy after Timmy died and she is so cute, too) and let's move on to a revelation I had recently. The family I work for have a cat and although the cat surely has some nice attributes, I must say it's shaped my attitude towards cats quite, well, not so great. Anyhow, it is true, I must say, that there is such a thing as Cat and Dog People. Dog people are really like dogs - open, a bit goofy, extroverted, like to be around people, like having fun and care generally less about what other people think. I am not saying that everyone's the same and there are shy Dog People, but there are also shy dogs, but generally from their attitude to life, they are happier, bouncier and clumsier. Cat People, like cats, are more introverted, uptight, harder to access (and I mean emotionally, no dirty thoughts please), and generally more of loners, as I feel. I also bond quicker with Dog People, because they are just easier to get to. It's similar to instruments. Sometimes you meet a person and you know it's a Violin Person or a Guitar Person, you just know. You don't know why you know, but you're not surprised if they tell you they do. So, if you want, share on Facebook or here whether you're a Dog or Cat Person (no grudges) or whether you disagree with my theory.
