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.

Or we just like activities like playing Frisbee, flyball, agility etc.

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

Enjoy your toxoplasmosis

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.

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.
