I am sure there are cat people, and I know I am one. My parents had dogs while I was growing up, the last one almost broke my wrist on a walk, also I had a bad experience with a large dog which makes me avoid these to this day.

My first cat (over 50 years ago) was a totally black kitten that followed me home, we never found an owner and we inherited Snoopy, since then I have had cats, one time 4 at once, and they seem to like me. Of our current group, Maggie a tuxedo is a true lap cat that has bonded to me, and I find their presence very calming.
