I'm definitely a cat person and always have been. I like dogs, too, but I have pretty much the same philosophy about dogs as I do about kids: great when they belong to someone else, but I don't think I'd want one of my own. :-P
People who don't like cats, have never had a cat actually love them. Because they are wonderfully loving pets, they just tend to love who they love... and not give a shit about anyone else.
I've also found that cats are very aware of people of who don't like them. My mother-in-law never liked cats, and one of mine wouldn't even acknowledge her presence. I'd say she treated my mother-in-law like a piece of furniture, but she would at least sit on furniture. :-P However, the same cat was friendly with just about everyone else after she got over her initial shyness.
