It is interesting to see how the lifestyles of cat lovers vs. dog lovers is. I myself love both, but cats work with my lifestyle best right now. As I see it, I am a busy, independent person who sometimes demands attention, but not always. Since I work so much, I'm usually tired at the end of a day and yoga and my cats are what relaxes me. I see this as a sort of 'cattitude'. My personality is actually more like a cat's at the moment.

I do see a dog in my future (or as Logan said it...2 of each is best!!! ), but just not right now because I know it wouldn't be fair to the dog since I'm away so much.

I see people with dogs as active individuals who crave companionship and like to be the center of attention. They are also outgoing and get along well with others. Dogs are pack animals and do things to please their owners(pack). I think this is the main difference between true 'cat people' and 'dog people'. Dogs are more pack oriented whereas cats are more independent. I think the people kind of follow the traits of the animals.
But I'm definitely a cross between the two extremes. I love both, and I so much want a dog, but cats just work out better for me right now.
