I've always been a cat person. Growing up on a cattle ranch, I almost always had 5 cats. They were able to go in and out whenever they wanted and I loved them all.
I now don't have any, which makes me really sad. I hope to have another one soon. I had 2, but due to work and time, and some personal issues I ended up having to choose to give them away to the local humane society. It was one of the most emotional things I've ever had to do, and I cried for days.
I love visiting friends that have them.

I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I like both. I give the edge to dogs because dogs love their people. A dog would die to protect its human, a cat would not. There have been stories of dogs refusing to leave their owners’ graves. This type of devotion and love is not found in cats. I know that dogs are not for everyone. Their affection can be smothery and too much to deal with, cats’ periodic need of affection may be preferable since it is not demanding. Plus, the constant devotion of a dog may be seen as valueless, because it is always there. A cat’s affection is not so reliable, it is more variable, so may be seen as more valuable when the cat deigns to give affection to his human.
I will say that people who prefer cats often think they are more intelligent than the hoi poloi who prefer dogs (I am referring to hipsters).

Is your user name from the song “Days of Wine and Roses”?
Oh, you see it quite often online, cat owners say things like “cats are so much smarter than dogs” and “I like cats because they are not one dimensional, they are more fascinating than dogs”. There is the implication that since dogs are more “simple” than cats, then dog owners must be more “simple minded” than cat owners. Take a gander at youtube, cat owners can be kind of elitist. Not ALL, before I get accused of saying “all cat owners are condescending toward dog owners”. But many are.

This thread just made a strange turn. Again thanks to Galatea. You have an unique way of saying something that provokes and makes a whole new dimension to the discussion.
As for intelligence and pets, I don't really think it matters alot. It is more about personality as intelligence. Like it is no surprise I like Retrievers, and, at least for me, it wasn't a surprise Yahweh is gracious has a Doberman. And Bella to Mailmandan certainly suits him, too. And yes. Cats suits to Winerose. She is intelligent, but did she ever claim to be smarter because of the cat preference? No.

I did not impugn WineRose, as far as I know. The only people I dissed were hipsters.
I am a provocateur, what can I say? Perhaps I am looking to be punched in the face. I suspect myself of masochism.
There is a tendency among a set of cat owners to look down on dog owners. Rednecks have dogs, that sort of thing.
I did not even mention WineRose in my post at all.
I predict that the poll will swing in favor of cats by a landslide.
