text: I'd choose my dogs.\n\nDogs are energetic and you can walk them around the block. The downside of having dogs is that you will have to pick up their poop or hire someone to pick it up for you.\n\nDepending on how old the cat is, it may be lazy or it may be energetic and a pretty fun companion to have around the house. The downside to having cats is that you have to clean the kitty litter and they cough up hairballs quite often. Also, my cat annoys me sometimes because she follows me around the house and sits down where ever I go, then she just sits their and licks herself and stares at me.\n\nI used to have 2 other dogs and a guinea pig. They were very fun to me as a child. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs at the moment. My cats slap my dogs if they get to close, which is always funny to watch since my dogs are just sniffing around. I like my cat because I can roll her onto her back and she will just lay there for a while. My dog is always running around and is fun to play with when ever im bored.\n\nI personally like my dogs more because my dogs are energetic unlike my lazy cat who annoys me most of the time. Although, my cat is easier to take care of, I still prefer my dog! ^.^
