I prefer kittens. Dogs kinda..... well I just don't see myself having a dog. Firstly, puppies grow up to be big. They have 'claws' and unlike cats, dogs have those scratching things out all the time. Puppies need wakies to potty and if you're a decent person you clean up after your dog (wither it be on someone's lawn or your own back yard) the whole dog potties in the back yard thing is just.... .....I just don't like stepping in 'surprises'; litterbox is more predictable and potty stuff is all in one place. Dogs are okay, my grandparents always had a schnauzer and they where/are sweeties. I don't know, maybe some deep bad memory is why I just can't see myself being a dog owner.
Either way..... I prefer female animals to males. boy animals..... yeah...... no one wants to see your junk man. (though I had a male bunny as a kid and he was totally cool...)
