Should I get a dog or a cat? This question usually resolves itself. After all, the choice of pet is determined by a person's personality, and cat lovers differ from dog lovers as much as the animals themselves differ from each other.
Typical character of a cat lover
Cat lovers are introverts. They don't need to take their cats for walks, gathering in groups with other owners to share news and discuss their pets' habits. The space in the house is subtly divided so that both the cat and its owner always have privacy.
People who love cats value home comfort, cleanliness, order, and peace. They have a mind of their own, are often secretive, and can be unpredictable and hysterical. They are prone to loneliness. In relationships, they are straightforward, honest, and stubborn. But they are capable of genuine affection and love.
Cat people are often night owls, allowing them to focus on their senses and relax at night. They dislike noise, although they prefer to live in the city. After all, it's easier to protect your privacy in the city.
Another trait of cat lovers is their exploratory curiosity. These are people who enjoy observing an animal's behavior more than controlling it. And studying cats' habits is very interesting. They are independent and unique. These furry predators have not lost their connection with nature, and every Murzik living in an apartment is essentially a small tiger.
Scientists prefer cats. It's believed that people who choose cats have a higher level of intelligence than those who keep dogs.
If the cat person's character traits are unbalanced, he can be withdrawn and neurotic, selfish and misanthropic.
Cat lovers are also always careful in their movements and on guard, so as not to accidentally step on the tail or paw of a sneaking tiger cub.
Typical character of a dog lover
Dog lovers are extroverted. They are more sociable than cat people, friendly and energetic. They are willing to exercise a lot, tolerate bad weather and mud during walks, and invent new activities and routes. They enjoy interacting with people and influencing them, but at the same time, they are also easily influenced. They fit well into a group and follow rules. They are capable of both leadership and performing monotonous, repetitive work.
These people are typically positive and stress-resistant. They enjoy loud parties and have many friends and acquaintances. Dog lovers generally trust people easily, which often leaves them vulnerable to lies and betrayal. They are more open and responsive than cat lovers. They prefer spending time with small children and teenagers. They are also better at caring for the sick. They are usually family-oriented, do not tolerate loneliness well, and are devoted and caring.
If we talk about negative traits of dog lovers, they include self-doubt and aggression, especially among those who own fighting breeds.
The character of those who keep both a cat and a dog
Often, people aren't so polarized in their preferences that they settle on just one animal. Many have both cats and dogs. But, interestingly, if a person loves dogs, the likelihood that they'll want a cat is higher than vice versa. A cat person is more likely to stick to their nature, as a dog can completely transform their comfortable lifestyle.
Generally speaking, people who love animals tend to have a creative approach to life, a broad outlook, and a high ethical standard. After all, caring for pets isn't a necessary condition for human survival; it's selfless. It's something people do simply for joy, for the soul.
What can you say about people who don't like pets?
Some people are indifferent to pets. These are often people with limited intelligence and misconceptions about the world around them, particularly about animals, their lives, and habits. Sometimes they suffer from neurotic disorders and fear contracting diseases from their dogs or cats.
Generally, the healthier and more prosperous a person's life, the more capable they are of loving and caring for others. And people who struggle to cope with their own lives lack the emotional resources to care for a pet.
Thus, by choosing a pet, a person reveals their inner world to others. A pet can also reveal a lot about its owner, their character, lifestyle, and habits.
