Kitty Cat or Pug?

I love cats, but I am also fond of dogs.
I suppose the draw to cats is that they are self cleaning, don't need to be let out to use the bathroom (some are even trained to do it on the toilet, but I wouldn't do that unless we had a special cat toilet...gross), and they curl up on your lap in a little warm ball. Cats are also quite fun, especially if you have two. They provide endless hours of fighting and playing for your viewing entertainment. If you have a mean streak you may even stick wax paper to the bottoms of their paws and watch them prance around trying to get it off. Unfortunately, Bryan hates cats! I don't know why there is such a strong hatred, but he has his mind set on getting a dog, but not just any dog. He wants a little pug to name Macgyver. Pugs however, need friends. They are very social dogs. Without a friend to play with they get very depressed, so instead of a second pug or dog, I suggested a kitty cat. We can raise them together so that they are friends, but Bryan does not think this is a good idea and that they will not like each other at all. Maybe he is right...
