Are you a dog or a cat?
A dog is a yes animal and a cat is a no animal. Nearly everything suits a dog, almost nothing suits a cat. No animals are cold, indifferent, clammy. Yes animals have enthusiasm. There are yes people and no people in the same way.
Ed Howe

What about you? Are you a cat or a dog? Write about yourself and tell why you think so?

sometimes I am a dog, but sometimes I am a cat! it depends on the concrete situation and my mood now. I think that there are no pure "yes"-people or "no"-people, but may be I'm wrong.
May I ask Olga? Are you a dog or cat? :)

I think I am cat usually. I like to be alone.

to Olga
No animals are cold, indifferent, clammy
What does clammy mean in this context? I know it as "душный, липкий"

Hi Marina!
'Clammy' also means недружелюбный, неприветливый, холодный

It is better to say:
....I am a cat (with the article)
and then

I like being alone (remember like+Verb+ing)

Wish you success:)

I think I am more a dog than a cat, but actually it depends on the situation. I may be cold and indifferent with one person and very warm and enthusiastic with another.

I am not sure there are pure cats or dogs.
Why not to take a chance?

I absolutely agree with those who say there are no pure "cats" or "dogs" among people. As for me... well, usually it is difficult for me to say "NO", I realize that sometimes it is necessary to do it, but I simply can't.
That's why I for one think there should be some intermediate animal, which is between the so-called "cats" and "dogs". But I'm at a loss - what animal can suit for this role? :oops:

It took me long time to think what kind of animal can be so well-balanced. Have no idea :)

For me it`s difficult to say no. That`s why I prefer to be alone - when you are alone, there is nobody to say No to.
Am I a cat?

P.S. Olga Kindly please correct my mistakes.

I used to practice such attitude to the surrounding world myself :) but as I recently understood it isn't very efficient.

I think the ability to say "No" and defend our own ideas brings much more satisfaction than being alone. Moreover such ability makes our relations with other people more qualitative, bright and valuable.

Regarding mistakes. If I find any in your writings I'll do my best to correct them :)

I agree

But when you understand that your Yes will bring no good neither to you nor to others and you are not brave enough to say No?

Just face your fear only once.

Do it, say "No". And then to your surprise you'll find that there is nothing to be afraid of.

I don't know another way to overcome a fear than to face it.

By the way your "No" can be said in different ways.

Someone shouts, saying no, someone smiles, someone says "Yes, but....." :wink:
