Basically a dog person. I certainly, though, wouldn't want to
offend my constituents who are cat people, and I should say that
being, I hope, a sensitive person, that I have nothing against
cats, and had cats when I was a boy, and if we didn't have the
two dogs might very well be interested in having a cat now.
