By that particular metric I'm definitely a cat, @vm2904. In real life, I have two cats and a dog, and would generally identify more as a cat person than a dog person... although I like both.

I vaguely remember an old truism; not sure of its origins... and probably paraphrasing a bit, but it went something like "Dogs are the preference of bankers, lawyers and soldiers; cats are the preference of artists, poets and dreamers."

Of course, that's also rather cut and dry... but seems to me the general drift is pretty accurate...
