I am not a cat lover. I am a dog lover - but I'm only a lover of hypoallergenic dogs.
I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.
There are dog people and cat people.
Parrots make great pets. They have more personality than goldfish.
As far as pets go, a cat is a nice on to have.
Armadillos make affectionate pets, if you need affection that much.
With a rescue dog, you take what's at the centre as long as it roughly fits the bill. When you buy a dog from a breeder, you can choose everything from its personality to how shiny its coat is.
My dream pet? I like a couple of them, man: monkey, I love dogs. See, tigers, I don't know - I can't be playing with something like that. A monkey, I can handle it. A dog, yeah; I would get a monkey.
There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.
I've never wanted a baby. I've always wanted a cat.
We almost decided on a dog and a fox before we hit on the idea of using a cat and mouse.
I had decided that I wanted a dog from an animal shelter. Normally, presidents have purebred dogs, but my is a Labrador-griffon mix. Absolutely adorable.
I'm not into having a pedigree dog.
When I was young, I preferred dogs, but when I moved into a flat when I was 18, it wasn't practical to have a dog. So I got a couple of kittens, and that was it.
I like cats. I used to have a lot of cats, but I don't anymore, now I just have a dog. It does take a certain temperament to have a cat, as they do have certain personalities.
I don't know if what kids really want is a hamster. What they want is a dog. So the hamster ends up being a substitute: 'Well, would you accept this?'
It seems like all the good looking people have smaller dogs these days. Especially for the women, because they always come in with their little Chihuahuas and the guys come in with their Golden Retrievers.
Greg White got a boxer because I said I was getting one. I was talking about getting a boxer since before training camp.
The whole reason people fill their homes with furry carnivores and not with, say, iguanas and turtles, is because mammals offer something no reptile ever will. They give affection, they want affection, and respond to our emotions the way we do to theirs.
Most women have jobs that require them to leave the house. A cat is actually a perfect pet. You get the love and companionship of a creature covered in fur, and you don't have to take it for a walk, and it can feed itself. Less maintenance. Surely any man can appreciate the practicality of this choice.
