  • VIDEO: Cat people vs dog people
    Sep 01 2012 | There are two types of people in the world: cat people and dog people.   The three words I’d use to describe dogs/dog people are frolicsome, loyal and sensitive. The three words I’d use to describe cats/cat people are enigmatic, mercurial and calculating. I’m not saying that
