Dogs require a lot more attention and general effort than cats typically. So it would make sense that the pet of choice is predominantly the one that can more or less be self sufficient if you provide it with the basics.

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.

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

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.
