Seen in another LJ, the following:

"Every dog is the same dog, but all cats are unique."**

Written, I assume, by a Cat Person. Originated by one, as well.

I should admit right off the bat that I am not a Cat Person. I like cats, but I'm also allergic as hell to them, as in "within a few minutes I'm a wheezing, hacking mess/cat dander raises welts" allergic. I'm also allergic to dogs, but not to that degree, although Mickey makes me itch more than does King.

I'm not going to get into a 'which is better' battle because it's all very subjective. Dogs are more labor-intensive than cats--yup. They need more exercise, litter boxes aren't (usually) an option, and they bark at night. But anyone who puts forth the monolithic canine personality argument is going to get the same look from me that King gives me when I scold him.

It's an irritating look.

Kinda dismissive.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Gonna stop there because I haven't had coffee yet, there's much to do, and I'm feeling a mite touchy.

**should I cite? I don't know the poster, and I've read the saying before, so I'm not really quoting...
