I was raised with dogs, due to cat allergies, so my comfort level with canines is pretty high. Cats- I really think it depends on the cat. Some cats just seem too snooty, like they're _our_ owners and I guess I just don't enjoy that feeling. I also hate when they jump onto the kitchen table or counter after being in the litter box-ugh!
I have a little dog now ( though I prefers big dog's dispositions, it's not feasible with no yard). Her name is Raven and she's a Shipperke (sp) adopted from the shelter, and at 12 pounds she is the size of a cat. She is absolutely devoted to the family and that's very sweet. She's super-protective of my 10 y.o. son too, She sleeps with him at night until it's our bedtime several hours later, and when we go to take her off Christopher's bed (he has allergies, too) she growls and sometimes even snaps at us!
