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?
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.
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.
Dogs are too energetic and overstimulating for me to be around. I’m fairly allergic to them as well, so I have a decent excuse for the people who insist their dog will be perfectly well-behaved and calm (they weren’t).
