Oh yes, the age old debate over if dogs are better than cats. I personally not only believe that dogs are better than cats, but I also believe dog people are better than cat people. I don’t judge people if they prefer cats to dogs, because I understand cats are great too. However, I do judge you if you don’t like dogs at all. I will 110% not even speak to you if you dislike animals in general, if I’m being honest. So here is a list of reasons why dog people are just a little better than cat people.
- Dog people care about the well-being of others. How many seeing-eye cats have you seen in your life?
- Dog people are more active. Dogs motivate people to go outside and exercise and even if you don’t like exercising, having a dog makes it more bearable.
- Dog people tend to be less neurotic. I mean, do I even have to explain why this is a good thing?
- You are known as a creepy cat lady if you have a lot of cats, but you are known as the cool person if you have a lot of dogs. Because no one has a fear of growing old and adopting too many dogs.
- Dog people are more likely to live (or eventually live) with other people. They don’t call them crazy cat ladies for nothing.
- Dog people are more extroverted than cat people. Probably because we have to go outside and walk our dogs and socialize with people.
- Dog people are never really alone. Having a bad day? That’s okay; just come home and see how excited your dog is to see you. Come home from a bad day and look for your cat for 20 minutes only to find it asleep behind the curtains.
- Dog people are persistent. Just like the dog that wont give up trying to catch the squirrel even though it’s in a tree, dog people are known for being assertive and persistent.
- Dog people are more agreeable. Just like our fury counterparts, we tend to go with the flow more than cat people.
- Dog people like diversity. Dog person: “I have two dogs; one is a Golden Retriever and the other one is half German Shepard half Beagle.” Cat person: “I have two cats; one is orange and one is gray.”
- Dog people never run out of compliments about how their dog is the best. A cat person opts for a more love-hate relationship with their pet. Maybe because they have to deal with the mess cats make in litter boxes.
No matter what your preference is when it comes to pets, as long as you love them and treat them right, they will love you right back (no matter how they show it).
