Cats or dogs — which suits your kind of person better, and why?

A natural way to answer

I'd say dogs suit me better. I like being active and going outside, and a dog gives you a reason to get out every day. Cats are more independent, which is great for busier people.

Key phrases to use

  • do their own thing — act independently, in their own way, without needing others“Cats are happy to do their own thing all day.”
  • wear their heart on their sleeve — show your feelings openly instead of hiding them“He wears his heart on his sleeve, you always know how he feels.”
  • keep you guessing — make it hard for you to predict what they'll do or feel“Cats keep you guessing, you never know their mood.”
