I'm not sure if my mom considers herself a dog or cat person, but I do know my dad is a dog person. We had dogs, cats, birds, and a guinea pig growing up though. I used to consider myself a dog person until I got my late cat (also my soul mate cat), Willie, then I became a hardcore cat lady. My brother and sister are also more cat people than dog people, although they both have dogs too (as do I). My dad's side of the family is full of almost all dog people.
