Have you ever personally owned a cat? If so, how long?

I have owned my current cat for about 2 years, taken care of my brothers before that when he was in an apartment, though this time is relatively negligible.

Do you own a dog now? How many?

I personally own one dog now, though 3 others live in my house (grandpa's who moved in with us about a year ago). The one I own is either 6 or 7 (pound puppy, they could only guess at the age), 1 of the grandpa dogs is about 5, and the two others are anyone's guess as my grandma adopted them, she's now dead and no one ever really asked/talked about their age.

Do they jump on people?

One of them does, and I'm currently working with her on that. She only does it occasionally but it's still a bad habit. I will admit though, they all tend to huddle around newcomers/visitors, though they're pretty good about staying at foot-level.

Lick people?

Only if you let them, one is overly-friendly and will try though, but she's easily avoidable (she's a tiny dog that comes up to ankle-level at the highest).

Bark loudly at everything?

We live near a bunch of farms with various animals, so right now the newest editions to our "family" (grandpa's dogs) are getting used to the animals and are barking, but they are calming down. The ones who have lived with us for more than a few months only bark when the bell rings or when commanded (we do prefer the barking for the bell because we don't hear it often).

Have you spent the time training it? What commands does it know?

Not nearly as much as I could, but I do a little here and there and train them in the things that I feel are necessary (bathroom habits, sitting, "heeling", laying down, being quiet, not running off, etc).

Do you mind having to be home by a certain time because your dog might pee on something?

This has only been a problem recently, with the new dogs (they moved from the caribbean to Utah so everything is totally new), but otherwise my personal dog I could leave alone all day and she'd never pee on anything. I wouldn't ever do that, and I'm generally home often enough that it's not a problem but that has less to do with my dog and more to do with my daily habits.

What about a dog turns you on to them?

I've never had a problem with a dog biting me, personally (I know it happens), whereas many cats have attacked me. That probably stems from the one neighbor cat that was a jackass and me being a bit odd around them ever since. I'm generally O.K. with cats, but I am more comfortable around dogs (Also, I think I have an allergy to cats, not sure though... if I do it's really light) I also love their extreme loyalty and the fact that they'll go running, hiking, camping, etc with me and I can just let them wander and they always come back because, well, I have the bacon.

Has your dog ever chewed, damaged or destroyed any thing you cared about?

Our last dog that died a few years ago got into the habit. Luckily didn't destroy anything super precious, but he did chew up a few socks and things. We, relatively quickly, put an end to it. All about training in this case.

Could you date a girl who prefers cats?

Definitely. As I said above, I currently have a cat and so this wouldn't be much of a problem. The only thing I can think of is, as I said earlier, I think I have an allergy to cats... so I'd have to be more careful, but that's more of just an annoyance than a hindrance or a turn-off in any way.

Could you live with that cat if so?

I think I've answered this. :D

Is that enough AMAs?

THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH!

Haha, I know it was a joke, but I enjoyed filling this out like one of those quizlets you get from the old forwarded e-mails or something. Good time-waster, greatly appreciate your ability to make me waste a couple of minutes.
