Cats. I don't mind dogs, but I prefer cats. They're easier to take care of, and in my opinion, they're more entertaining. At least the cats I've had. They're a lot more independent than dogs, yet they can still be loving. They can also be very intelligent. I've been raised with cats all my life, and I've never had a dog, so I don't know much about raising a dog. I've watched other people's dogs though, and, although they were fun, I don't think I could own one. Also, dog smell is one of the only animal smells that make me feel sick.
Cat's love me, too. ^^
Ferrets are awesome, too.
