Are You More of a Cat or Dog?

About This Quiz

Coke vs Pepsi, winter vs summer, sweet vs salty and PB vs J are some of the most frequently debated pairs. But none of these compete with cats or dogs! The problem with most of these pairs is that many people really don't want to choose one or the other. What if you like tobogganing in the winter but also love the beach in the summer? Maybe you love combining your PB with your J for the perfect sandwich. Interestingly enough, cats and dogs may not be as rivalrous as they are often thought to be. If cats and dogs are introduced to each other carefully they can often form great friendships! Their personality differences complement each other. Cats tend to be more stubborn, aloof and independent while dogs are happy go-lucky, affectionate and companion focused. Have you ever wondered which of the two you are most similar to?

Find out by choosing the answers most suited to you in our quiz questions below and we'll tell you how your personality matches up in the lives of cats and dogs!

Anything where my date treats me like a princess!

If you're expecting a clean place to spend time with me, you better give me a few days notice that you're coming!

I'm somewhere in the middle. I have some clutter but things are never dirty.

Cleaning is a hobby to me. Things are always in order and the floors are clean enough to eat off of.

I like things in their place so that I know where to find them.

A computer or a TV screen is more my speed.

Making friends is challenging! What approach do you take to go from stranger danger to BFFs?

I take making friends seriously. I start by learning their viewpoints on important issues.

I don't stress about making new friends. If I see someone I'm interested in getting to know, I march up and give them a compliment.

In a social setting I can make friends easily, but other times when there isn't a pre-determined activity it is difficult for me to break out of my shell.
