Well, not really as the Heathkit Hero robot i played with had about the same 'intelligence' of the Roomba yet this was back in the 1980's. Robotics have come a long way since then. Even the Sony Aibo 'dog' had far more 'intelligence', and that was (OMG) must have been ~15 years ago.

The below pic was the Aibo that was here. Pic taken December 16, 2000 at NYC Sony store Aibo fair. And why yes, yes i am a geek.

Cats, mainly due to the fact that when we were working will had no time to walk dogs, and now that we are retired we live in a condo and it would not be fair to a dog to live in such small quarters.

Our cats are our kids, we treat them well.

We also walk our cats around the hallways in our condo, and they love the dogs of our neighbors. We and the cats love dogs, we just do not own any. Here is one of our two:

so, do you prefer (own) a cat or dog or both as a pet?

post a pic if you're really bored. 19

I own both and love to spend time with both but the problem is that i don't like to vacuum them periodically.
I want the best vacuum cleaner that helps me to vacuum them only once in 3 months.
I know it's weird reply but that is exactly what i am thinking for now.

Dog. No question. I don't understand cats. People say they are extremely intelligent and also independent and only demonstrate love when they want to. Alright then. Go get a job first, pay your own food, clean the crap box, because if you live under my roof doing nothing the whole day the least you must do is come wagging the tail when I snap my fingers and call your name.

I'm a dog person. We had 3 different Boxers over 30 years. Had to put #3 down (cancer) in 2012. Still sad. Great dog.
We have a (former) feral cat that was living in the barn in our previous farm until getting kicked out by a bigger cat. She stared into the glass kitchen door until we let her in. That was 2011 (overlapped fine with the dog). Just her now. Pretty awesome animal for a cat.
It's taken her years to learn how to relax after starting her life in the wild, but she's managing...

After my beloved German short haired pointer passed away, we got a new puppy. An English Springer Spaniel. She’s 14 weeks and fits in great with our 2 Basset Hounds.

I like dogs and cats, but as a city dweller, I've preferred cats, as I can leave them for a few days with food and water and they hardly know I'm gone.

I prefer now not to have any pet, though.

I'm a dog person, I love dogs and right now I have 2 German Sheperd puppies. I'm planning to train them and I am looking for tools for training like these dog training collars which are used to primarily used to correct bad habits such as barking, digging, and chewing, a training collar can transform a misbehave dog into a well obedient dog.

It doesn’t magically transform them into obedient dogs, it’s a process that takes more discipline from you than you expect from them. If you’re committed to it, message me.

I've been training dogs for over 25 years and have earned more Obedience titles than you have fingers and toes. I have never, not once, attached a shock collar to my, nor a client's dog.

I've always been both. I had an Airedale, beagle mix, chihuahua mix. My last dog was an adult that I took from an unwanted home who led a long life, same with my cat now who has a loving home. I guess I'm just a cat person now as I see no more dogs in the future. Ok cats are low maintenance, I still own my business and my wife and I do some traveling throughout the year
