Oh Logan, you always have the right words for the right situation. I don't have any cats now, but I did have one and her name was Baby, we found her on Christmas eve under our air conditioner. She was what I think is a Calico cat, different colors. She even ended up having kittens and we found homes for all of them except one who died.
She got along with the dogs we had at that time and we loved her very much. We let her out one day and she disappeared, we think a person down the street took her with them when they moved.
So in my heart I love all animals, I loved that cat, I truly love my dogs and I wish we could save them all. You are right when it comes to animals how can we say we would choose one over the other.
