7 insane assumptions
Has anyone noticed how crazy I am?
Plenty of straight men prefer cats too.
Obviously cats are better
Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.

- It doesn't make sense

What's going on here is OP is making a lot of baseless generalizations.
What do bisexuals and asexuals prefer? Both or neither? And bold of you to assume straight women prefer cats. Ik way more straight women who prefer dogs than cats.
Sexuality is “never” here: Cats.
my head canon is that it's whichever one shows up at some random non descript point in your life.
Straight man here. I love cats. But I hate litter boxes, and cats fuck shit up.
its okay. you can come out ;)
Same. Having a dog is too much like having a kid with how much attention they require. A cat even when it's being "demanding" just wants to sit on you. You don't have to take it for walks or go out and play in the yard. I love other people's dogs but I don't have time to have one of my own.
Fucking being only a dog or cat person. I love most animals. The only issues are whether or not I can give them what they need.
The amount of people buying birds and neglecting them is depressing. Same for dogs, but less so.
Lesbians go either way here ironically
The stereotype (that I'm aware of) is that lesbians love dogs.
Yeah you have dog lesbians (me) and cat lesbians (my wife if she wasn’t allergic). Mind you cats love me too, and I love them back. But yeah both groups exist as internal stereotypes.
Honest (and depressing) answer: dogs are larger and more expensive, so anyone who isn't living on dual-income will prefer a cat. Being a woman is expensive, transitioning is expensive, being a guy who "just needs a bed and 4 walls" is cheaper, so dogs are back on the table.
Families and children prefer dogs.
The correct answer is lizard. No musk, no fur, no allergens. Just needs an appropriate vivarium and a light bulb. If you design it right, you only need to spot clean once a week for what the woodlice don't take care of. Feed him once or twice a week, you can leave him alone for literal days at a time. Costs less than £20 a month in food and electricity. Landlords love them, no chance of the tank bursting and water going everywhere. Literally safer than a fish.
Best pet for the modern poor and disenfranchised citizen
Dogs are children who require constant attention.
Cats are adults who just want to crash on your couch.My 8 year old toddler of a dog and my 3 month old middle aged cat confirm.
We're through the looking glass here people
i'm pretty sure that amazing robotic pets are right around the corner, but i've always assumed that they would be doggy style. this post made me realize that in fact they should be alpaca.
If the Internet is any indication they will be long furbys.
You can definitely get some amazing doggy style robots that'll pet you now days. What were we talking about again?
Dogs need more maintenance and care. Men are just naturally more caring.
Dogs tolerate a lot. Cats set clear boundries. Men just naturally don't care about other people's boundries. /s
WE'RE ALL GOOD PEOPLE
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.
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.

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.
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.
