I'm the same way
I got it from my dad.
I saw photos online once of a cat being tortured (apparently to death, I only saw the first three pics) and I was traumatized all day
But let's not think about that.
I love my kitty, even though he's a bit tempermental <3
Dogs are okay, but it takes a while for me to really get to know them before I can open up to them. I can't stand when you meet a new dog, especially if he's huge, and he just tries to jump all over you and slobber and knock you down
Gross.
Once I get to know them, I like them...we have two dogs, one is getting old, she just lays around all day. The other one is a smallish boy, nice little lap dog...he's pretty disobedient (not my fault, honest, he's not my dog), but I like to run around and play with him (something you can't quite do with cats). And sometimes when I call him he'll jump up on my bed and lay in my lap for a minute.
My favorite thing about pets is when they sense that you're not feeling well, and they try to comfort you.
