Poll question: Cat or Dog?
Yes, for this poll you have to choose.
Imagine that you are going to be locked in a prison cell for 10 years and you have the choice of one cat or one dog to be your solitary companion.

1. Cat people, you will end up alone- no cat is going to stick with you
in a prison cell for ten years!

7. ...and a dog will?
I don't think prisons allow either cats or dogs. That's just my guess.

My cats won't protect me from a thief, but they do fight off the other cats and eat the away the mouse population. They require very little care, but,

THEY DO FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE!

Thank goodness they cannot yet outrun the car.

9. In my imaginary progressive prison one pet is allowed per prisoner
and as I prefer dogs, especially large dogs, he would not be able to leave. He would not leave anyway, since he is loyal and devoted.
All but the fattest cats would be able to fit out through the bars in my imaginary progressive prison cell, so only loyalty could hold them in.

3. Cat.
Easy choice. I don't want a mangy furball staring at me for 10 years expecting me to entertain him/her.

4. The cat will stick around for 2 or 3 days and then take off on you for a
couple of years... no loyalty.

6. Since I'm allergic to cats
It's gotta be a dog (could you imagine ten years of sneezing w/red eyes and a runny nose?) :cry:

8. Dog. Totally.
Loyal, doesn't care about the conditions, and when Bruno has me against the bars, I'd rather have something with very, very large teeth.

10. Dogs require more food and attention
Good thing about dogs, they love you no matter what. Cats eat less, will chase after mice, and can fit in smaller places, such as jail cells.

14. Who's gonna clean up the dog poop?
Cats use a litterbox when confined.

17. You can't have both. This is a progressive prison, not a resort.
Oh yeah, if you choose a dog you get to walk it every day a few times. If you choose the cat someone will exchange the litter box once a day.
