So i'm here house-sitting for some people in this really nice house. They've got an ancient cat. Her name is Samantha, and she's quite endearing. I had always considered myself a dog person until two things happened. One was meeting Samantha, who showed me cats aren't all standoffish and snotty. The other was when my sister told me: "You know, even though Dad and i are both really alergic to cats, I don't think that's the real reason we didn't have a cat. I think that all of [our family] are way too much like cats for us to want another cat around."

I had always considered myself a dog person. But really i think i'm a cat person that happens to prefer the company of dogs.
