We have a dog so I think she leans towards dogs because of that but she does love my parents cat, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2325281 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:07:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2325281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves all animals, but he definitely prefers dogs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2325261 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 07:55:43 +0000 Bao 2325261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two cats so I think they prefer those. When we visit friends or family with dogs they like them but they seem a little hesitant since they are usually big dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2325244 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 07:26:48 +0000 Synchronicity 2325244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Gotcha! I understand where you are coming from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2325221 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 06:33:14 +0000 ElbieKay 2325221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 19mo lives with two cats but gets excited when he sees dogs on the sidewalk. One of our cats is incredibly patient with him, and as far as I know that is the only animal he had ever used as a pillow (never for more than 15 seconds or so). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324742 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 11:08:43 +0000 honeybear 2324742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Synchronicity: In my area there are a lot of really rude dog owners. Like, take pets (not service animals) into grocery stores and put them in the carts and leave a bag of dog poop on your neighbor's yard (or often just a pile...)-style rude. I also have concerns for the animals' welfare when owners have clearly selected breeds that just don't belong where they are. Like owning a Samoyed in a place where the average temp is 88 and it never snows or a high-energy breed in an apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324738 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 10:54:42 +0000 Purpledaisy 2324738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! It's crazy! We have a dog and she's obsessed with him and all other dogs. We also have neighborhood cats that are always around and she goes crazy when she sees them. She's a serious animal lover! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324711 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 09:53:05 +0000 LilSprinkles 2324711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dogs! He loves them! But, we also have a dog, so I'm sure that plays a part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324695 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 09:03:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 2324695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cats - but I'm sure that's because that's what we have at home. She comes with me often for rescue transport and LOVES chihuahuas, or "Che-Che-was-wahs" :silly: whenever we meet a dog, she asks me if it is a chihuahua or not. If yes, she likes them. So basically, every dog we meet just happens to be a "chihuahua mix" lol even its the furthest thing from a chihuahua! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324685 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 08:17:56 +0000 Synchronicity 2324685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I'm curious about your post! What do you mean by out of control dog-owning culture? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324672 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 07:38:51 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2324672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cats by far! When I was 7 a Rottweiler bit my face from my right eye to my jaw, so that put me off for a long time. I'm not scared of dogs, but I don't really 'bond' with them or pat them or anything. I think that affects LOs as they're not into dogs either, I would never ever own one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324671 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 07:38:09 +0000 twodoghouse 2324671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dog, so they are definitely dog people. I don't think they've actually met a cat, but they sometimes see the neighbor's cat on their front porch from a distance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324667 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 07:17:40 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2324667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He seems equally excited to see both of them but we have a dog so he has a lot more experience with dogs! I'm definitely a dog person and don't care for cats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324666 Sun, 18 Oct 2015 07:12:03 +0000 honeybear 2324666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cats! </p> <p>I *may* have put my thumb on the scale on this one. I love animals, but not the prevailing suburban/urban dog-owning 'culture', which has gotten out of control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324602 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 22:35:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2324602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason J just adores cats, even though dogs typically like him better and are more patient with him. </p> <p>But I like dogs better! I would get a dog, but not a cat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pet-preference-do-your-kids-prefer-dogs-or-cats#post-2324598 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 22:29:04 +0000 mrbee 2324598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is obsessed with both dogs and cats, just like her mom! I think my daughter prefers dogs though, mostly because they love for her to pet them. Cats can be more fickle, which she is still getting used to.</p> <p>My son isn't as into animals, but if he had to choose, I think he prefers dogs. He is pretty similar to me, and I'm definitely a dog guy. </p>
