If you could only keep one pet. Cat or Dog? If so which one and why?

Guinea pig.

Dogs needs 24 hour care, cats couldn't give a shit about you.

Depends on how much time I have to spend with it.
Lots of time... the dog would be great.
Just a little time... the cat is a smarter choice.

And for those of you who think cats aren't loving, devoted pets... all I can say is you've obviously never taken the time to develop a bond with one.
Sure, they're more self sufficient, but I see that as a good thing if your living or working arrangements don't allow you the kind of time that a more needy pet would require.

My dog does fine by himself all day... Btw does the guinea pig send you love letters?

Dog. Max loves me unconditionally.

I think since we got Liam, that Erik has figured out the bond a person has with a dog versus what he doesn't have with his cat. Not saying you can't have a bond with a cat, for me it is just harder.

Dog. Hands down. I would never own a cat.

My cats meet me at the door everyday and cry at me until I sit down to spend at least ten minutes loving on them. They sleep with us every night. When I was gone for two weeks after my accident my roommate said both cats were miserable and gloomy

My cats are more loving than any dog I've ever had.

I don't know too many dogs that write.

Had a pig that would run to the side of the cage and wait for me to pick him up. He was cool piggie.

I am a total dog lover, my inital response is DOG!
However I gotta agree...

I'd have to agree with Tom on this one. Only because there is no other dog out there that could compare to the one i had from when i was 12-25. She was the absolute best dog AMJs dad has ever created and when he made her he broke the mold.
