I often wonder when people are classified on the basis of their love for cat or dog. People who love cats more are often described as Cat personality people. What exactly it denotes?

Cat lovers are independent while dog lovers require constant attention.

@Vandana7 It is also said that watching a cat for sometime reduces mental anxiety and depression.

I am a cat lover for sure! I have had so many cats growing up! My Mother siad when I was young every cat, dog or whatever animal I would find I would always asked her Can I keep it? L.O.L. But mostly it was always a cat! I have 2 now. She told me to check out a site called Cat Centric but I have not done so yet been too busy lately.

@lovebeingmummy Are cats as understanding as dogs? Are pet cats really sensitive and react emotionally with their owners? Is cat really a selfish pet as it a popular notion?

Have no idea about it... Would love to have a cat myself but I fear it wouldn't work in our households...

@avi256 Could it be the superstition related to black cat and all... It could be cats are detested here...

@Daljinder Yes, to a large extent, that may be a reason and people just do not want to take chances.

Yep its not that easy to keep dogs as pets than cats in India. Still not sure why...If ask a group of 100 people, 80 of them would prefer keeping dog to cat. People have certain reservations accepting cat as a pet and I am still searching for the reason.

I think cats and dogs can be different. Cats don't do the same as a dog does when you come home. A dog will come to greet you a cat waits for you to come home and greet them lol. A cat will hear the door and not care a dog will bark its head off.

@avi256 I don't know but they almost have a regal behavior to them as if they are too good to submit to humans.

Is there any specific reason that they are so indifferent to their owners. Cats are often called selfish, but is it their behavior or is it how they are supposed be .

@OKennedy Cats have a strange way to demand attention unlike dogs who are very vocal or expressive about their feelings to their owners. Cats are independent but reserved too. They may give you signs about their feelings but may never reveal it completely and thats what adds to their mysterious nature.

I do not find any good reason for classifying people into their love for cats or dogs. Some pet lovers have both cats and dogs at home. Some people love big cats, such as tigers and lions, rather than the house cats.

But the question is how we analyse human nature or character traits based on their love for cat or dog and classify them into cat or dog personality. And yes if any one has both as pets, are they like combination of these two traits. Quite interesting.

It meansa that the cat lovers are good people and like their cat friends.

@JohnRoberts has a good point @avi256 . I have 12 indoor and 2 outdoor cats and 3 donkeys, so not only am I very independent but I'm also apparently stubborn as a mule. LOL

@MALUSE Not exactly but the person who took over the animal shelter that I had at my place gets help from Walmart (torn bags of food), so every other month, she brings me bags of cat food. With Spring coming, the donkeys will be able to graze. Plus, that's why I'm a svelte 115 pounds at 5'8". The critters eat better than I do.
