I had to think about this for a day, damn it. If I know you really well, I’m a gooey dog. If I sort of know you, I’m a gooey cat. If I don’t know you at all, I’m a prickly dog. I think.

I’m not sure I could stand either being alone or the time OR being around people all the time. Both would drive me insane in different ways.

I’d say I’m a neurotic prickly cat. I still have this needing of approval, but I dislike it and wish people would go away.

Gooey cat, here. Definitely.

You know….I really am not sure. The thing is, I suspect that sometimes there’s a big-eyed puppeh somewhere in there who desperately needs approval….AND a kitteh who is so not into rolling over and playing dead to get it. (The puppeh spent too much time doing that and getting growled at instead of being thrown doggy treats. The puppeh has learned better.)

I can happily spend lots of time alone, and if I’m round big groups of people – ‘specially people I haven’t chosen to be with – I tend to get what I call ‘peopled out’. I’m a tad prickly when my space (literal or psychological) is invaded without my leave. I can be gooey to people I like, but it takes me rather a long time to trust anyone that much. (A feral kitteh, then!)

I am such a gooey dog, but I have my prickly cat moments as well.

I’m a gooey cat, I get very uhn about my personal space and people coming into my room and stuff, but I’m extremely huggy and affectionate.

My friends and I have a similar game called ‘horse or crisp’ (chip for you american’s, but it is referring to round chips, not the triangular ones). Basically everyone is inherently a horse or a crisp (/chip) and you can just tell. Our examples being Richard and Judy (a chat show thing in the UK). Richard is the ultimate horse, and Judy is the epitome or a crisp(/chip), this is on personality and hairstyle and appearance and everything.
Most people put me as a horse, but I do get a few crisps.

I’m a gooey cat for sure. While I love my friends and family, if I were forced to be around them all the time I would probably claw my eyes out.
