Seeing how this is just a goof on the whole "Do You Believe In God" post, I'll just play along. 
I'm quite the cat person myself. I don't know how I really feel about pets in general. Why keep birds, rabbits, iguanas, snakes, etc. locked in cages. I know that a lot of these pets are extremely pampered, but I know a lot more arent. I think most pets would be better off on their own. Then you get what I have, a ferret locked in a cage all night, pampered like crazy otherwise, that CANT survive in the wild. So, they were made specifically for profit. Foul. I wont take part in the caged pets again. If I get another animal, itll most likely be the kind that can leave me and be OK if it wants to. But, why would a cat leave me? I LOVE cats.

Nope - I believe in bird, other than when she craps on my shoulder. I like dog, but I have 2 kids, and that's enough
And Opet - I like caged animals, and I give them respect and let them out. My bird is out more than in. For those who keep caged animals in the cage - I agree - why bother?

Yea man, caging animals sucks.
What kinda bird you got? I have a lesser sulfur crested cockatoo and he's out all the time when we are home. He's spoiled rotten and he doesn't go very long without saying something, hehe. He was named after his daddy so his name is Satori as well, muwhahahah. Parrots fucking rock, destructive as they can be. We are going to get an african grey eventually and name him Dino. They are the best talkers.
I'm one of those freaks that loves cats and dogs equally, in an ideal world, I would have both.

Satori,
I am 9-months into my 1st bird - it's a cockatiel named Quasi (Quasimoto shortened). Obviously, not like the bigger birds, but I'm glad I started small first. They are quite a bit of work, and need tons of attention. Plus, I am the chosen one (in the birds eye).
Birds are the BEST. I've had dogs in the past, and I still think birds are better.

I'm a sucker for dog.. well.. nice ones. I like nice, medium sized dogs. Not too loud, not agressive. I like 'em when they're middle-aged. Really laid back, matches my way of living, somewhat.
BUT, living the apartment life, having a dog is out of the question. Landlords don't allow them and it'd feel trapped.
Cats are great, but they just don't like me much. And they shed a LOT (a big dog may shed, but they don't climb on you when they do it)
I'll say, above all else.. I believe in Newt. I have a newt. I got him when I was not quite 8 (Feb. 1988). Sometime in 1998, I realized he'd been alive for 10 years. He's still alive. He's 13 1/2 years old. Newts are supposed to live between 18 months and 4 years. His name was Chris. But ever since I saw him standing straight up on his hind legs, staring at the sky, I have named him Cthulhu. I tapped on the glass, he looked at me, and casually swam away.
All the other aquatic animals in the house have died since Cthulhu entered the picture. Any goldfish put in the tank died within a year, and when I brought a Betta (Fighting Fish) in the house, a room away, he died within a week. Cthulhu drains their essence to fuel his ever-growing body.
Since I've moved away, I have no idea if he's still alive, but I hope so. My mother *hated* him, so she's likely "forgotten" to feed him. Mind you, he's gone without food for weeks at a time. Crazy lil' elder deity.
So, I believe in newt. I pray to newt. I take care of newt so that when the stars are right, I will be spared the most gruesome of deaths.

African Grays are expensive! Ah!! My sister-in-law wanted one AND a Rotweiler-(spelling?). Guess which one she still has. See, the bird learned how to unlock it's cage, and the dog just waited patiently for the day. CHOMP! But, I heard they are superior in the chatter department!
I didn't mean to put any caged-animal owners down, because as I said, I am one myself. Ive just seen too many instances where the owner is just an idiot who can't even take care of themselves. They buy a new chew toy for a dog or a little mirror for their birds and it'll be just great! (Mirrors are surprising great for birds.) But, as I'm sure most of you know, human interaction with them is the best thing you can do I mean, if youre going to make it live with you, right?

I had a turtle once, that was the greatest pet ever. Now we have 8 outdoor cats (the mother just had 6 babies). They wont even let me pet them, but they are still really cool to watch when they are playing.
Dogs don't like me, I don't like dogs. I think it's because of my feromones - they can smell I rank above them.
I like cats and cats like me. =)
Felines have so much more integrity than dogs, and you don't have to walk them and that stuff. With my irregular sleeping habits, the only people I see about at 4 in the morning is the mailman and the owneds-by-dog. IF you're the master of your dog it's ok, but there are countless people who are slaves to their dogs, which is just sad.
"Your daughter, she came on my property and she kick my dog! I am going to KILL JOO!"

Cool, we started with a cockatiel too, we name him cheeky cuz he is so pissed off all the time. Ours was no work at all, he would just sit there and not really do anything and we'd go days without remembering he was even there, heheh. But anyway, if you do plan to get a parrot eventually, make sure it's either a cockatoo (they are the most affectionate and demanding and also the most destructive) or an african grey cuz other types of parrots can turn your life into a living hell. Also, if you think your bird requires attention, then you'll think getting a parrot is like having a child, they are in your face almost all the time and you need to be home lots cuz they can go insane if they are locked up all the time and will pick their feathers (more common than you'd think). Fortunately we treat our bird like a baby and he's always with us. They are also much smarter than you'd think before you get one. Ours is so aware of us and our motives, he plots things, hides, disguises his activities with objects, he uses tools, it's just insane. He thinks he's a person and I'm not so sure he's wrong. He also says lots of shit and seems to relate certain words or phrases with particular activities. He also calls me by my name when he wants my attention, like when I leave the room or if he wants to be picked up (something he picked up from my gf). Whackiness, I never thought parrothood would be so intense

I love dogs. I have a Golden Retriever and her names KARMA. Hmmm ... someone should make a song called that, lol.
