Dogs are unique and fascinating creatures.

Ringabel's mind wandered as he watched the Norende boy sitting across from him, sipping at the drink in his hand.

They're happy, excitable beings, willing to rush up and greet a total stranger. They are eager to please, and love when others around them are just as happy as they are. They enjoy feeling secure and loved. Carefree and loving. They live to love and are often beyond loyal to those they consider their 'pack'.
But they also can be dangerous, protecting what's theirs and themselves. They will growl and snap at those they don't like and can be territorial to the point of frightening, granted you're on their bad side. Sometimes dogs will hide things, burying objects they like such as bones, or toys. Things they don't wish to share.
This boy. He reminds me so much of them. Although, that's not such a bad thing...

Cats are unusual and intriguing creatures.

Tiz stared blankly forward, his thoughts more important than the drink he held and young man sitting across from him.

They're somewhat mild mannered, some being more cautious than others whom are friendly. They may not like as many people, but they often find that one person they do and show them great amounts of affection. Considering them one of their own. They claim them in a way, making sure that others around them know it. They will even go so far as to bring the one they like most gifts as signs of affection.
However, they can be quite aggressive, though usually more vocally than physically. They'll hiss and swat at intruders, rarely going after them with claws and fangs extended. They prefer to make themselves heard, not felt.
He's kind of like them. In his own little ways. It's actually rather endearing...

Authors Notes:

Trying something new here guys. I know I've been very inactive lately and I apologize on those waiting for chapters of my other stories. They have not been forgotten about. I just have had little to no time with so much going on.
This set of stories was originally inspired by conversations I've had with people. Bringing up the idea and thought that some people just really remind others of a cat or a dog. Just something I thought was kind of interesting to write about.
