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.
my cats walk over me like i’m a carpet. sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night with a paw in my mouth or a cats ass on my face. but they never scratch me on purpose.
It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.
Well maybe you shouldn’t pick up cats you don’t know if they don’t want that
I always assume people that don’t like cats also struggle with respecting boundaries.
The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.
Lol just keep pulling and the Velcro breaks
my cats stick into whatever is under them with their nails when i try to pick them up
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).
There are some really lazy breeds out there. Like great danes. They are giant couch potatoes. You will have to give up your couch though.

That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”

Enby who prefers dogs here. I guess I break things?
I’m sorry, there’s a greentext on the internet that disagrees with you. You are a cat person now.
There’s a difference between a cat person and a catperson. I am definitely the latter.
Enby petplay gang rise up
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.
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.
What do women need that’s so much more expensive than what men need?
Look up “pink tax” and “gender pay gap”.
Tampons and whatever the latest trendy things are?
I have no idea how many tampons a woman needs in a month, but a pack of 32 is €5 so that can’t be a big expense
And whatever the latest trend is, is not something necessary so you can’t blame it on that either
Are you taking things seriously in a greentext post?
Doesn’t explain gay men.
Families and children prefer dogs.
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 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 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.
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.
