Cats are nicer in my opinion. But also check out the russian power shepards:

Wow, more dog people than cat people here? How can that be :D Cats are so awesome, that "watching cat videos" is actually a thing!

Definitely a cat person ;P

I do like both, but dogs are the best because they are the walking epitome of love, loyalty and trust. Dogs are the best people ;)

your cat owns you, period (mine owns me)

I am waiting for the snake and spider persons ;D ....

Cat person here! 😀

A baby elephant is what I want. Could work with a pony as well.

Love cats, since childhood.

I have 3 cats now. Most time they are silence and sleeping，but they also excited and naughty when I come home from work or stay home on weekends. Sometimes one of them will lying beside the keyboard on the table when I programming. Their lovely behavior can let me be relaxed. Take care of them is every easy, feeding and itching.

Although I like dogs, but they are too difficult to take care of . Walking dog will take too much time. They have a great destructive power.

I'm not surprised about the current standing of the vote. Most programmers are introverts, and as such, prefer cats or no pets at all. Dogs are extrovert pets, so I guess if programmers have them, that might be because the family wants so.

Also, cat person here.
