There are so many reasons I love cats, but my mom has never understood why in the world I like cats! She doesn't like them at all and thinks they're just evil! LOL! I know it sounds odd, but she really does think that! I've liked cats since I was a kid, dogs not that much, but we still kept one I really didn't like (he killed many of my pets). So I guess this makes me a cat person. I own two dogs as well tho. But I've a slight preference for cats. I personally like them a bit more because you don't have such a hard time potty training them as you do with dogs! Potty-training most dogs is a nightmare and can take them to long to finally learn. But cats no... they see the litter and know what to do! Another thing I like about cats is their independence! They're so independent and can take care of themselves in case something happens. Most dogs would die in a house if they go unattended (no food, water, etc). I also love their personalities, and purring sounds when you pet them :)
