Do you have any interest, do you feel any inclination to the subject? Under "animal world" I don't mean pets which most of us have. I feel great sympathy to birds, they are graceful, they have abilities we'll never have, they are one of those rare animals that can sing, and sing nicely. If I'll ever decide to get a second education course, it will be ornithology. What about you?

Interest in animals? Well, the animal I like the most is... A Kwyjibo

Naa, I'm just kidding, I like chipmunks! Don't ask me why, I just do. I think they are cute and cool... And in way the movie Alvin & The Chipmunks triggered my "love" for chipmunks. I don't wanna sound "girlysh" or anything but they are sooooo cute cool!

Keep nudibranchs! You would have to live right on the coast, though, and not so much 'keep' them as 'look at them a whole bunch'... But they're cute! Honestly!

I vote for...


Go Chip n' Dale! ^-^

What's wrong with a dog anyway? ;( Dogs are good friends, and if you're a good pack leader you've got yourself some minions.
Cats on the other hand are just mooching slackers. Go cat bashing! ;p

Dogs drool, cats rule! I do like cats, but apart from that, I'm not really an "animal person". I also like butterflies, but that's about it.

Dogs. Dogs are idiots. If came into the room and started slobbering all over your face and sniffing at your crotch, what would you say?
....if you did it sir?

I have to agree  I love cats, and if not for house pets... then Big Cats are what you want.

>_>

Cats pros: Cute (some breeds are elegant), natural born killers, easy to care for (feed, pet, change kitty litter unless it's an outdoor cat), some of them are cuddly, kind of funny to observe sometimes.
Cats cons: Egoistic, shows little to no respect for its superiors, only shows affection for humans/other cats/animals when it wants you to pet/feed it, sharpening their claws on furniture/carpets, jumping around places they shouldn't be, always put on an indignant look when you stop them from doing something wrong, doesn't stop them from repeating it, they only learn that the next time they do something they shouldn't and someone sees it - run away and hide somewhere.

Dogs pros: Group-oriented (pack), universalistic, submitting to their superiors (superiors means a mentally strong leader, not a physically superior one), cute (some breeds are majestic), respectful and loyal friends, protects its comrades, learns to follow the rules you set out for it (if you know how to), playful and loving.
Dogs cons: Takes alot of time to care for a happy dog (feed, pet, go out for walk, exercise (both mentally and physically), takes a calm, assertive mentality to control, otherwise your dog will take the leader role and control you.

Common con: When they lose hair in preparation for the hot summer... hair everywhere! :@

Licking places is a pro for both, it's how they clean themselves, and they both do it... everywhere! Except dogs clean their faces differently, and not as carefully as cats. Dogs lick humans often to show their appreciation, cats may in some cases lick humans if they feel that the human is filthy. Otherwise they'll look annoyed and possibly walk away.
Smelling places goes for both, except cats aren't always that interested in doing it.
Cats laziness doesn't really count as a pro or con, it's just how they work. Lots of sleep and leisure time.

Neither is "better", dogs are just in my opinion better friends, while cats are just... indifferent aristocrats.
