Are you a dog person or a cat person?

Myself, I am a cat person. My cat is about 12 years old and he's a domestic shorthair, mostly black, and hence, his name is BC, Black Cat. My sister named him and gave him to me in 1997. In fact, he moved in with my girlfriend (now wife) before I did and she's more of a dog person.
He's an indoor/outdoor cat who does more than his fair share of keeping the local mouse, bird, and rabbit population in check. He has also caught a bat (bats must not taste good because it wasn't mauled) and a kestrel. The kestrel beat him up good but BC won the fight. I found the kestrel the next morning after hearing a fight the night before and BC was slightly bloody and missing some fur. BC has also been shot by a BB gun (at my previous address apparently by someone who doesn't like cats) and been bitten in the leg by something, dunno if it was another cat, dog, or perhaps a fox. Where I liveI have seen both foxes and coyotes but I think he's smart enough and his senses work well enough that he's able to manage his fight or flight mechanism.
He's friendly with people and is always looking for a handout.
