If I had to pick... definitely a dog... I wouldn't want to kiss a cat with a hairball... I know where that hairball came from knowing how (and where) they clean themselves constantly!

Well, if you're really asking...neither. I'd suffocate and probably bite off my own arm to escape from the lathering, slavering dog. And the cat...well, who the hell needs to be with someone who can literally take or leave him or her? Why bother then?
Yeah, that seems to be a common thought on this board...

In reality I'd much rather mate with a chimp. (Now don't get excited, guys.)
Darn!

Quote:
Chimps--AFAIK--or maybe these are gorillas I'm thinking of, live parallel but not necessarily "together" lives with the opposite sex. In other words, the males will keep the females in view, and will saunter on over and pick lice off them as a romantic gesture when they're interested in a little sumpin'-sumpin', but otherwise, the men hang out and do their man thing with the scratching and all that, and the women hang out and, who knows, probably compare banana size and giggle.
Sounds like MY family back in the day.

Quote:
The opposite sexes are "together" when it counts, and they are affectionate and even have their favorites/this-one-is-off-limits-to-other-guys-or-gals, but they give each other a nice healthy amount of space. Yep. It's a chimp's life for me! Woo-hoo.
Hmmm...interesting. Never would have considered that. Hey, maybe you could hook up with this dude in Hollywood that I know -


YouTube - Super chill monkey does Hollywood

(found this in the "Other Topics" section)

Well, from what I've observed, dogs aren't exactly the Felix Ungers of the animal kingdom, either...

No... but as a male dog... I could let it hang out and just sit there and act like nothin's wrong!

Yeah, and oh God they make that sound while they're doing it, lap-lap-lap-lap, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, gross.

I've always owned cats (until this past year--and am trying to talk hubby into a new kitty) and only had a dog in the house when my stepfather introduced one into the household. Ick, not a dog person.

No offense to dog people. Don't be offended...consider the source...I did after all just say I'd like to mate with a chimp.

I feel the same way about cats, JerZ... we all have our preferences. The only thing I've found cats good for is dog food.

LOL...no, as pets I prefer cats (have pretty much always had at least one around)...but I wouldn't want to have one as a life mate.

Perfection is boring. Someone's "flaws" may be what makes them interesting. It's all about perspective.

Oh, sure - there you go again, judging someone just because they have a huge, distorted hunchback and a penchant for ringing church bells.

He's probably a very nice man on the inside...and I'm sure he could offer some nice young lady (or man) a wonderful sanctuary.
