Will you help my son with a cat vs. dog poll?

[Audrey]

My son wants to employ random sampling to see if cats are more popular as pets than dogs.

 

The poll only allows 10 choices, so if you have more than 5 cats and or dogs as pets, could you please post the number(s) in a reply. You can select more than one choice, for those who have both cats and dogs.

 

Thank you! :001_smile:

Voted. 4 pet dogs here!

 

We've had 2 mini-schnauzers for years, last summer we adopted a labradoodle, then late last summer someone dropped off a black lab on our dirt road.

 

We have several cats who roam the property, love the free goat milk:001_smile: and even play with the dogs. But they're not really pets, ya know?

[3lilreds in NC]

We have 4 cats because cats don't take up as much room. We have one large dog because that's all the crate room we have. With his personality, it would be great to have another dog to be his friend, but he's stuck with us humans, and the cats. :)

I voted even though my choices cancel each other out. Two of each!

[TiaNKids]

Voted too! We have one of each in addition to the rest of the zoo that we have!:D

No, no! That's fine, really! They don't cancel each other out. He has a chart to record all the answers and is counting each animal individually and then as percentages using the poll results and the number of voters.

 

He's hoping to get 100 voters.

 

Thanks for being so supportive everyone! :001_smile:

[Country Mouse]

I voted. One of each. :001_smile:

[KidsHappen]

4 cats, 1 dog

[Erin's Mom]

Voted 1 outside dog.

Son wants a cat but dad has allergies.:001_smile:

[Dirtroad]

WE have 6 pet cats (so I added 5 + 1). Guess we are collectors! Anyone need a cat???

 

And 3 dogs... actually 3.5 b/c our neighbors black lab is here about 22 hours per day.

 

Oh, and 1 pot belly pig!

[DarlaS]

We have one dog and three cats. The cats are outdoor (barn cats) though but are friendly so I guess they count as pets.

[Cheryl in NM]

We have 2 cats & 3 dogs. I had the cats when we got married; Dh would prefer no cats. But we both always had dogs so we've just replaced dogs as they died over the years to always have at least one.

[Brindee]

I voted. We have 2 cats and one dog.

 

Lets us know the results he comes up with!

[Nestof3]

Cats rule; dogs drool. LOL (just kidding)

 

Proud owner of two cats.

[fivetails]

Voted - five cats. Only four live here with us though..we actually had six back in the fall, but one went to a new home (a fairly new stray that had joined us - he got a lovely home) and another, one that we'd had for a long time, wasn't able to make the move 'cross country with us due to age/stress/etc, so she's living with my best friend & his wife back east --- I still count her though, so I voted for the five. :)

Fixed. Cats own YOU. :D

[Nestof3]

Fixed. Cats own YOU. :D

 

So very true! :lol:

 

That's funny -- I saw your quote from me and thought to myself, "I don't remember typing that, and I only had a couple sips of wine."

[Firefly]

We're a one dog, two cat household here!

[Granny_Weatherwax]

1 pet cat, 1 pet dog

[Paula in PA]

We currently have 6 cats, though it's fairly certain that within the next month or two, it will be 5.

[Remudamom]

Well, we have five cats that come in and out of the house and eight barn cats that have names and that we feed. Nine really, I noticed a new face up there. We fix the females so we don't have a lot of babies.

[SonshineLearner]

I voted, too:-) Makes me wanna check out the Humane Society page... I'm kinda wanting one other <small> dog. What's a little more hair??

:iagree::lol: We like leaving the cats for three days at a time with no one to check on them. We couldn't do that with dogs.

[Tap]

No current pets, but I grew up with 3 dogs, 2 cats if that helps at all.

[Jeannie in NJ]

7 cats here that we dearly love. well, maybe a couple of them I don't love quite as much as the others.

[JFSinIL]

4 cats one dog. The rat/hamster/gerbils/goldfish/geckos died, the parakeets and leopard gecko were given away.

[sgilli3]

We feed 11 stray cats each day.( technically, they aren't ours, but the children see them as pets)
