Dogs are subservient. Cats are independent.
A person who prefers dogs might be someone who feels the need to exert control as a means of feeling in control themselves. OR they might simply be allergic to cats.
This isn't a male-specific thing. Think of Karen with her purse-dwelling toy chihuahua mix with severe anxiety and multiple chronic disorders.
Honestly, fuck this assertion that you can somehow infer a person's motivations and morals from what kind of pet companion they prefer. I've legit seen it argued that if you like dogs and don't like cats, you're "probably a rapist" because you "can't understand consent."
I enjoy cats. I don't prefer to own one. Am I a monster because of this? How about, I just love my dog?
I like dogs because dogs like me.
Dogs can't help but like you, no matter how you treat them.
Getting a cat to like you, now, that's something you can be proud of.
Or we just like activities like playing Frisbee, flyball, agility etc.
Enjoy your toxoplasmosis
What if I just don't like excrement in my house and the smell of shit all over all the time until I get used to it
Then learn to clean a litter box. It's leagues easier than the work dogs require.
Nah, I choose to not have shit smell everywhere
Dogs are loving, cats are apathetic. People that grew up with loving parents prefer dogs as they are well equipped to provide the nurturing they themselves were given. People that were emotionally neglected as children prefer cats because that lack of bonding is familiar to them.
Wow, being pretty presumptuous there, aren't we?
Notice how I said "might" in my comment and you didn't?
Maybe prefering dogs causes people to lie about having a loving family growing up? Lol
oh i love the smell of irony, just as i love the smell of disingenuous shitposting
i like to think of people who own pets as people incapable of being alone for even short periods of time, that or they just like having the company of them, it's one of the two.
