Dogs and cats - 12:22 PM
(filed under 'general')
I have a long-held theory that not only are there dog people and cat people, as in those who prefer dogs and those who prefer cats, but dog people and cat people in the sense that some people are like dogs and some are like cats.
I am a dog. I'm a very open person. I'll meet someone and if we get along well, within 5 minutes they may know half of my life story. I really get into the things that I really get into. I'm passionate and enthusiastic and physically expressive. There is no mystery with me.
I'm even more so like a dog in regard to relationships. When I get attached to someone, I do it with my whole self: I don't hold back. When I like someone, I like them a lot. If I like you and you go away from me, one day apart seems like a lifetime, and when you come back I'm all over you like I haven't seen you for years.
(Actually, there is one way that in which I'm like a cat. I love having my back scratched and I'll start squirming and stretching and almost even purring if someone gives me a good back scratch. But that's beside the point.)
Cat people seem to be more haughty and distant. They hold back. If they decide they like you, then they'll let you know, but they usually don't jump all over you straight away. They're a little bit mysterious and you usually find out all about them just a little bit at a time as they sparingly choose to share tidbits of their life pre-knowing you.
I'm a dog through and through. Aside from the back scratching thing, I'm about as far from being a cat as you can get.
Do you think my theory is valid? How about you? Cat or dog? Leave a comment to share your thoughts. 
I do not like you theory, because that would make me haughty and distant.
But I am definitely a cat person, definitely not a dog person (I have one of each - and the dog is a labrador - so I know what I'm talkin' about here). But it is true, that I will not jump all over you, even if you go away for a month. And maybe you'll find out a little at a time. Unless of course you decide to read my blog... But that's a whole different thing.
I'm a cat. 100%. It's usually takes me a while to trust people, and even when I like them, my actions may be misunderstood as unfriendly and distant. Oh, well.
I'm a dog. I have a few cat traits too though.
I was born in the year of the dog too, and being a virgo, quite a few of the virgo characteristics are similar to dog ones, so I suppose I got a double dose
I'm a dog. Nothing cat about me at all. My current decision to forever remain single has been difficult because of my natural built-in dog nature...but I suppose my kids and friends can stand in as my pack. lol
I'm not haughty I hope, but according to your theory I'm very much like the cat that I have (and that includes the back scratching
).

you are mostly right. cats are very independent while dogs are more open to close relationships. as for me....neither i think.
