Religion and politics are thought to be the underlying things that can make it or break it in this world when it comes to humans getting along with each other. But the differences don’t end there.
We have night owls and morning people, people who prefer yolk over egg whites, those who can curl their tongue and those who can’t. There are left-handed people and right-handed, and in the midst of the scale, you have cat people and dog people.
If you’re one, and every individual on this planet has a preference for dogs, cats, and rarely both, you’d know what that means. And if you've been living on the moon and still don’t know whether you’re a dog or a cat person, then this batch of tweets is just for you. So roll up your sleeves, ‘cause it’s about to get heavy.

Yet it is estimated that nearly 25k people are killed by dogs per year. No deaths are recorded by cats

My personal verdict: Posh breeds are elitist, mutts and rescues aren't. Regardless of cat or dog. And regardless of cat or dog, I hope you researched the needs of your breed, didn't get a breed with known genetic issues, didn't just get your dream breed without considering all the responsibilities of pet ownership, and didn't get it from a dubious source for cheap.

Ikr? My mom got bit by a huge dog when she was little, she never lived it over, and whenever she tells anybody she's scared of dogs, they're always like, "No, no, that's not possible, here, pet my Rottweiler, he jumps but he's very friendly" and often I have to distract the dog while Mom runs for cover.

I don't like dogs either. They're too clingy! I need my space. Cats are great because they sporadically want love and attention, but they're also independent and have their own lives. Dogs wanna be with you 24/7. Same reason I don't have kids.

Most of the posts boil down to "Cat people are more accepting than dog people" at this point

Honestly, It's kinda true. Most of my friends are dog people and most of them say they don't like cats because cats are evil. Then I facepalm.

I love all cats. My fiancé and I try to spot as many cats as we can any time we're outside. We give neighbours' cats names and will pet any cat we come across outside who is willing to be petted.

The thing about dog/cat differences: Dogs have been with humans for ages (at least 15,000 years, maybe over 20,000), way back when all were hunter-gatherers; cats joined much later when humans turned to agriculture. The dogs' ancestors needed extensive breeding to be truly useful - they probably were somewhat dangerous like the wild animal pets of today (likely not as bad as tigers, but still) and ate the kind of prey/meat that humans ate. The cats' ancestors, on the other hand, already WERE useful by nature - there was no need to change their traits, meaning cats essentially domesticated themselves (seeking out settlements would have been an evolutionary advantage - lots of vermin to hunt). That likely also affected their approach to socializing - dogs were BRED to look up to humans, but cats just needed to warm up to humans. I swear they DO like humans, they just don't have that deep, desperate need for humans that was bred into dogs. But this lack doesn't equate hate!

They did seek out settlements! We have evidence of them doing that!

Dog person as the dog chases the cat: "Oh, Fido is just playing!"...Cat person as the dog chases the cat: "WTF?! Call off your dog!"..;Dog person: "Oh, the dog won't hurt the cat!"... Cat person: Jumps between animals and gets three bruised ribs b/c the dog was just "playing". True story. My ribs. And I *like* dogs. But you don't let your dogs chase cats, b/c it is not a game. it is HUNTING.
