Being a parti poodle myself, I of course would choose my fellow Canis lupus familiaris. Although, I have occasionally come across particular Felis catus who are acceptable to be around. One in particular was a small Siamese kitten. She was the brightest of her liter of three and in addition to Siamese was also fluent in Balinese, Burmese, and Savannah. She had long planned to study Botany at the Sorbonne but alas she had a bit of a breakdown towards the end of her senior year in college after falling in love with a Manx and ended up having a liter with him. He of course left her high and dry. Later on, she took night classes at a nearby community college but in order to make ends meet she found herself serving cocktails at a strip club called The Naughty Kitten. The tips were good, but it changed ownership just as she was starting her second semester. Luckily, she was granted a scholarship to the University of Washington where she found a way to cross a carnation with ivy to create a new breed of floral vine. The vines began growing on the campus and eventually took over the regular ivy that grew up many of the Collegiate Gothic architecture seen on the campus. This unfortunately did not turn out to be as lucrative as one would hope, and she struggled to make ends meet for a couple of years until she was finally able to sell it to a small business wedding company who uses it often in their arrangements.
