I'm both.
But, mostly a cat person.
There's been at least one cat in my life since my parents brought me home from the hospital.
Currently have 5 little sets of paws & personalities keeping @Snarky_succubus and myself entertained.

As far as meeting someone else...
I wouldn't care what animal they preferred.... As long as they love animals.
I would never give up one of my crew to appease another person.
And, I'll fast-track their butt to the exit, if they're "anti" anything.
The "I don't like cats" people.. Or, the "it's just a (animal of your choice)" folks?
I got it. You're insecure.
Later.

Also do you have if your a dog person do you have Male dogs or female dogs and if your a cat person do you have Male cats or female cats. If you have all Male or all female what was the reason you chose that gender and not the other.

It's been a mix, over the course of my life.
Don't have a preference, one way or another.
Only time I *slightly* leaned towards one direction was when I was getting a Rottweiler. I wanted a female, because they tend to be smaller.
She wound up being 145lbs. So, that didn't go as planned. Lol

Cat. I won't pick up dog shit but I will scoop a litter box.

I love dogs but they're for farms not city or suburb. Was bitten by several growing up which belonged to neighbors who were either too stupid to keep them restrained or did not recognize they are aggressive pack animals. There's a reason dogs must be licensed but not cats.

I dated a couple of women whose dogs bit me. I didn't date them again.

I'm a dog person. Just that i wouldn't get one. Cats kind of freak me out sometimes. At least with a dog you know you're screwed before you're actually screwed. With a cat you could be minding your own business and bam you end up looking you slam danced with a baby wolverine.

Though that's more of a other people's pets thing with me. If i lived in a different area i would totes get a dog from a shelter or something. And didn't have to deal with most of the things i currently have to deal with.

I don't yet see a reason not to be with someone who had either though. And if they called themselves a dog/cat dad or dog/cat mommy it wouldn't bother me in the least. Cat daddy or pussy momma though. That'll get me laughing.

I'm both. I love animals, but I don't personally have any living with me at the moment. I have been adopted by the neighborhood cat, so there's that. I call him Robert, but I think his real name is something like Tiktok if I'm reading his tag correctly. He's always at my front door begging for food, and I always have cat food in my garage.

While we also have a rescued cat, I am a total dog person. I have had rescues, pure and mixed breeds, male and female. I hike all the time with my dogs, and get up to the Adirondacks at least twice a year to backpack, hike and climb (always with my dogs). My dogs are an integral part of my life - and I theirs.

I have always been a cat person having grown up with a family who seemed to collect them and there was always at least one or two in the house at all times. After getting married, my own cat was the second most important thing I brought into my new life. Since then, there has been only a few short instances during the more than 30 years we have been together we have not had a cat; usually the brief time between losing one and adopting another.

For about half that time we were only a single cat household, until we inherited a relative's then it became two which we continued to maintain until the day number three followed us home and invited herself in. Though we swore after losing our senior cat at the beginning of the year, we would keep it at two, but damned if those plans didn't last long. Guess we will just have to maintain it at the trifecta for now.

I have never owned a dog and could never see myself doing so. It's not that I hate them as so much as I really don't care for them. To me cats have always held fascination and are nature's perfect creature. As an animal, cats are the perfect independent, question authority, non-conformist who have to want to be around you to be around you. They will give you the time of day when they feel like it and when they don't, they will do their own thing. In short, I think cats are more of a match for my personality as I can understand where they are coming from. Dogs are too willing to bow down to authority and blindly do whatever the Alpha tells them to do. As a political liberal, they seem too Republican for me. Additionally dogs give something for a human to command, while cats bring out humans' maternal instinct more and I much rather care for an animal like a parent than dominate it as its leader.

As far as gender, almost all the cats we have had were male (including two of our current ones), the exceptions being the one we lost back in March and one of the current ones. We never deliberately chose cats for gender; it's just how it worked out. Though I do admit for some reason I always felt more of an emotional attachment to the two female ones; particularly the one we lost and there are days I still feel devastated by her death.

Can't really answer what would happen in a relationship with a dog person, since my wife fortunately loves cats almost as much as me. Though I do find it strange our kids turned out to be dog-people and would never own a cat.

Here are our current three...with the boys on either end and little girl in the middle. The first is the newest we took in and middle-age, the second the youngest and the third the senior cat.

I'm completely a dog person. I love dogs of all breeds and I am very happy that my wife shares the same opinion. We have several dogs - 2 sheepdogs and a pit bull. So when we go out for a walk with them, people look at us very surprised. ( but I like it ahah). Sometimes, of course, there are problems with the neighbors, because the dogs bark loudly, but we try to train them strictly. For each completed command, we give them a split stag deer antler to chew. They love to nibble them and besides, they are also very useful for teeth and gums.
