Amber, our cats are like our kids, too. In fact, they were our first kids because we got them long before we started a family. The cats are 12 and 15. The kids are 9 & 11. LOL! Very spoiled they are, too!

Oh, and I don't think gender necessarily has anything to do with personality, because I've had both male/female friendly cats and male/female aloof cats.
Well, Hector was my first cat. I have my tubes tied, but I go through the baby blues quite a bit, so Jack said whenever I think I want a baby, he's going to get me a new cat.:biglaugh: We got him from his boss. Apparently, Hector's mother moved the kittens up under a new house, and forgot poor Hector. So, Brice's (Jack's boss) mother found this solid gray kitten under her house and Brice took it, and weened him. Now we got him. So, he's very skittish, but when he wants to be loved on, you better love on him, or he'll just keep pushing himself on you.

Then we got Gabby. She was found under Jack's ex wife's house. They started bottle feeding her because she was so little, but Angel didn't want to take care of her, so I refused to let her get rid of her and brought her home.

Victor, we got him from a pastor friend of ours. We got 2 of 'em at the time, but Furry Maria died.:( It was so unexpected. But Victor is wierd. He don't like to be petted, don't like to be touched, just plain out don't like to be looked at.

And finally (lol) Cameron has a dog. We had found a dog down the road from our house, a lil beagle pup. Poor thing was so malnourished, all he was was skin and bones.:( So, Jack brought him home. We took him to the vet, wormed him, all that good junk. Fed him continuously. He wouldn't gain any weight. Someone told me that if you gave 'em baby formula, that'd help pack the pounds on. So, we try it, and he refuses to drink it. (I now have a thing of formula just sitting in my cabinet)
So, anyway. Poor thing died.:( It was Cameron's very first pet that was "his", ya know? He cried. But he did such a good job taking care of him, that I promised I'd get him a new one. So, for Christmas, he got Buddy, a Mountain Cur/Beagle mix.

My mom has a toy fox terrior...very smart dog, and very much her baby, since we kids are out of the house. I want one so bad.

Hannah's mommy - My sister has a Jack Russell, and the thing never sits still, not even when he's sleeping!

I *heart* my kitties. :p Seriously, I've never been a big dog person, have always preferred cats. I like dogs, but I just don't like the slobbering ones. I hate slobber...dont know how I got through my youngins teething.

I like both cats and dogs. Growing up, my dad would never let us have a dog, so we each had a cat (that's 4 cats, btw!).

On the other hand, my husband hates cats, so we have a dog.

I like big slobbery dogs, and think 1day's next choice (does your current dog know you're already shoppping around for a replacement?) is a great pick!

In our condo with no yard...cats just make sense.

My mom just told me on the phone yesterday that her dog is addicted to eating dogshi#. Tell me that's not the grossest thing ever! She said her dog came inside with a turd hanging off her mouth like a cigar.

lol...Cats are way too sophisticated for that.

maybe there is something to that, tho. they say dogs have the cleanest mouths.....

Maybe there's some kind of buffer time period between eating poop and licking balls....and having the clean mouth. 5 minutes? An hour?

My Beebop eats cat poop like valentines chocolates. Super gross. I secretly love his stinky dog breath.
