Pussy all the way!
I never did like dogs. Most of the dogs I've come across have been either a) loud, b) stinky, c) loud, d) overly aggressive, e) loud, or f) some combination of the above which most likely involves at least a, c, and e. I'll admit I've met some cute dogs, but for me it's mostly the stink factor and the bark factor.
Cats, on the other hand, now they're my kinda pet.
I've never been woken up in the middle of the night by a cat meowing. Especially not when it was the neighbor's cat.
I've never met a cat that smelled bad (I'm not talking about occasional accidents, you get those with dogs too; I'm talking about that "dog smell" which some dogs only get when they're wet but most dogs seem to carry around with them all the time).
I've never met a cat who, when standing on its hind legs, was half as tall as me; or one who charged me when I stepped in the door; or one who could physically knock me over if he was so inclined.
My mailbox post is always surrounded by huge dog-logs. If and when someone else's cat shits in my yard (the neighbors have 4 cats and there are some local strays) it's too small to notice; and because everyone in the neighborhood doesn't walk their cat down the sidewalk, it's not all concentrated into one big disgusting mess.
I've never met a feral/unleashed cat who chased me or tried to bite me without provocation - they tend to head for the shadows at the sight of a stranger.
The only presents dogs give you are brown and stinky. Outdoor cats have a cute (but perhaps unclean) habit of killing mice and shrews and leaving them on your doorstep as a gift. OK, maybe this one's a draw.
When a fire truck or ambulance goes by, the outdoor cats in the neighborhood don't launch into a cacophony of wailing.
Man's best friend may be the dog, but man's best companion is the kitty IMO!
