I'm not really a dog person because I don't like the idea of an animal being so emotionally dependent on me. Having a cat is more like having a roommate. You hang out when you want to and it's no big deal if you don't. To me it seems like their affection is more genuine that way. Plus, you don't have to potty train them and If you're away all day, a cat is less likely to completely lose its mind.
