For quite some time, I had two cats and one dog, then two cats and two dogs. When I lived in Joisey, the cats lived upstairs in our split, and the dog lived downstairs. After I moved to Michigan, I reversed the arrangement, and the cats lived in the finished basement, and the dog lived on the first floor. Eventually, I came across a second dog (my daughter found him freezing to death in a dumpster two years ago), and so I had a pair of cats on one level and a pair of dogs on the other level. In other words, each group of animals had their time on the main family floor. The dogs win. I like the cats (hell, I kept one in the freezer for six months), but the dogs become part of the family. They seem much more in touch with human emotions. They become distressed when I'm distressed. The cats could care less. When the family is happy, the dogs are happy. The cats were always on an even keel. Very little range of emotion. Dogs, in short, are more human. But hey, I like them all. Paul
