I know your history here, but I'll just say it anyway. Dogs are where it's at. If you decide to get a pet (and truthfully, I'm not sure why you would), a dog is a million times the pet a cat is. I didn't grow up with dogs or cats, and have both now. I'm not sure about getting another pet at all, but if I do it would be a dog.

Dogs suck. They're loud, smelly, drool everywhere, and in my experience are way more destructive than cats. Growing up we always had cats in the house and never had an issue with them breaking stuff, as long as they had access to a scratching post. They were playful, affectionate, kept our house and yard rodent free, and the only maintenance they needed was a clean litter box and a full food/water dish. My buddy with a rottweiler and chihuahua though can't wait for them to die. The rotty destroys so much stuff, he's given up trying to have blinds or curtains in his living room. And the chihuahua pisses and ####s everywhere, they have to keep him in diapers 24/7 but he still managed to wiggle out and take a nice steamy crap on the carpet. He also has to take the rottweiler on daily walks regardless of the weather lest he get even more destructively restless
And even if you don't have dogs, if your neighbors do they can still be a problem. Some people in our area have a habit of leaving their little yappy piece of crap outside at night and it will bark non stop until they finally get off their ass to bring it back inside. Can't say I've ever had any issues with neighbors cats. On this issue I'm decidedly in camp Sliver, dogs suck
