MODERATORS
I grew up with cats, and I honestly find interacting with dogs really difficult.
Say I'm at a friend's place, and their cat comes up to me. I hold my hand in front of them, they sniff a bit, and they'll either allow me to pet them or walk away.
Compare that to when a dog comes up to me - no matter what I do, they'll lick my hand. No matter if I just hold it in front of me for unrelated reasons, or if I try to pet their head, they'll try to lick me.
And that's not to mention barking - there are a couple of dogs in my neighbourhood that feel the need to bark every day. It's not constant barking or even that long, but it is noticeable compared to normal background noises - and it reaches hundreds of people. It's hard to imagine a cat annoying that many people at once.
