Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop!

Today’s topic is: Big internet fight: Are you team cat or team dog? (or something else?)

And remember to visit my fellow writers to see what they have come up with. You can find their works here!

Having recently adopted our second cat, I suppose the easy answer would be team cat. But it’s not really that simple. Until we adopted our first cat, I’d never had cats. In fact, I’d often seen them through stereotypes – aloof and arrogant. I had always been a dog person, though I’d also never had a dog either. I just felt more of an affinity for dogs. After all, they’re much more sociable and loyal, aren’t they?

But at the time, our lifestyles didn’t allow for it. Working five days a week from an office location was not ideal for welcoming a dog into our home. While I wasn’t traditionally a cat person, I didn’t dislike them by any stretch. We found a lovely kitten needing rehoming, went to view it and ended up adopting the two-year-old mother. And that was how Rey came to join us. We’ve also had three hamsters in our house, too.

So where am I going with all of this? Well, why must I be a cat OR dog person? I own and play on PlayStation, but if I had the sufficient spare cash I’d also own an Xbox. I love a city break as much as being in nature or by the coast. I read far more on Kindle than any other format but still enjoy a physical book. Why in everything must there be divison? Afterall, I doubt many of us would say we were “inhale people” or “exhale people” – if we did it’d probably end pretty badly for us…

Except football. Now in that I will choose my hill and die on it, no matter how much recent misery it has brought me.
