Exactly.
I do love dogs, they're all different kinds of mental. Cats scare me a little bit, I feel like they would eat me if only they were a bit bigger, whereas dogs, well, they're just a bit daft, no ulterior motive other than ‘If I let her pet me, she might give me biscuits’.

I'm more scared of dogs than cats
and this is irrational, becuase my cat has inflicted far more terrible injuries upon me than any dog ever has.
I mean, I have scars.

As ever, more evidence for my theory
Dogs = loveable.

Cats = less so.

ah yes, but
you're so much more grateful for the small scraps of affection carefully administered by a cat

This is the thing.
I do understand that dogs are little buggers too but I have a fear of cats because of the scratchy madness, they scratch you when they love you, they scratch you when they don't, I never know where I stand. I suppose you learn to understand there many moods, I just feel like things are more straightforward with dogs.

I have scars too, my old german shepherd nearly blinded me by landing on me in the garden and sticking his paw on my face. I have a scar about a cm away from my eye. Gar.

Hmmm... I don't suppose you can really hide yours if they're on your legs... well, other than by wearing trousers! :)

I believe
that Jack Dee did a sketch where he was talking about dogs and cats reactions to DIY (specifically, erecting a shelf)

Dog: "I love you. I don't know what you're doing, but I love you."

Cat: ", I'm not putting my books up there."
