What do you prefer? DOGS or CATS? I am a big animal-lover, I adore animals & I find most of them irresistible! We're a family of animal-lovers, my brother is vegan (& was in fact one of the nominees for sexiest vegan on PETA this year), & my mom has her own advocacies. As you can see, we take animals very seriously. If I were to choose however, between which animal I prefer more: a dog or a cat, I'd have to say that I feel so much more connection with dogs. I just don't connect with cats as much, they seem distant. However, I've been made to understand (by an ex-boyfriend & my brother) that connections with cats are actually developed in time, & that in fact they are also very affectionate & loving animals. How `bout you?
