I grew up in a home with lots of cats. My daughter had a cat while she lived here and when she moved away, the cat stayed. It was a good cat, but I still prefer dogs, not lap dogs, but real dogs, like Shepherd-sized on up. My wife hates cats and dogs and only tolerated the snakes I kept (one was a Rock Python that grew to 11 feet before I gave it to a pet store). My wife did a lot of tolerating on that one.
Since both the cat and dog died about 10 years ago, I really haven't wanted another dog (that one was my buddy and when she died, it was very hard on me...don't think I want to go through that again....).
Cats are okay, but I'm not a cat lover, even though my daughter's cat seemed to love me (go figure). And the wife is adamant about never getting another cat, so I never pushed it.
Right now, I have 3 large Angelfish, a Pleco catfish, a little Cory Dory catfish and two Mollies. The reason I keep them is they are very little maintenance to keep.
However, they suck as watch dogs as they don't bark and really don't like leaving the aquarium.... I'm working on that, though.... There's nothing meaner than a pissed off Angelfish...
