I love both, but in different ways. If forced to choose, I'd have to say dogs because they're more predictable and versatile. Dogs also tend to act more like they want to see you. Yes, I know cats love their owners as well, but the way they show it is usually less anthropomorphic. Dogs on average also seem much more loyal, but this also means they also depend on being a part of your "pack." Stereotypical it may be, I find cats to be more independent on average, but the tradeoff sometimes means they'll either ignore you for long periods of time or go off on a "hunt" if they're an outdoor cat. Though I relate to the independent attitude of cats, I like how you can count on the loyalty of a dog. A dog's loyalty can easily outmatch that of most humans within the context of canine abilities. Cats are in a way more interesting because I find their personalities vary much more widely than that of dogs on average. I've known cool cats, dog-like cats, ornery cats, curious cats, graceful cats, goofy cats, brave cats, scaredy cats, lazy cats, "wild" cats, and so on. It's hard to beat cats when it comes to handling small vermin. Dogs can do that too, but most cats are pretty good at it if they learn to do it early enough. I don't like choosing, though. I think the world is a better place with both dogs and cats, and can't definitively say whether I truly prefer one over the other.
